  • Milwaukee Bucks jerseys came into being on May 22, 1968. From a competition that 14,000 basketball fans took part in, the name Milwaukee Bucks was chosen to go on the jerseys. A gentleman named R.D. Trebilcox of Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, entered the name Milwaukee Bucks, being just one of 45 other fans who had the same idea. The prize for the contest was a new car.
  • Originally the Milwaukee Bucks used green, red and white as the official colours. These stayed the same from 1968 to the campaign of 1987-88. The logo on the Milwaukee Bucks jerseys itself did not change.
  • The jerseys now have a new look with a logo that depicts a frontal view of the head of an 8 point white tail male deer on a triangular background.
  • A humorous sign that could be held up at the Bradley Center during games could be "The Bucks aren't stopped here" .
  • The first pro basketball team in the area was the Hawks, who played from 1951 to 1955 when they moved to St. Louis and became the Hawks.
  • The franchise has retired 7 players uniform numbers. These are #1 Oscar Robertson, #2 Junior Bridgeman, # 4 Sidney Moncrief, #14 Jon McGlocklin, #16 Bob Lanier, # 32 Brian Winters, and #33 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
  • The teams' mascot is named 'Bango' which was a catch phrase of Eddie Doucette who was the original team broadcaster. When a player made a basket from a distance, Eddie would cry out "Bango!". So when the time came for the franchise to name a new mascot, the most popular suggestion was "Bango."
  • The teams nickname is that of an adult male of some animals, such as the deer, antelope, or rabbit. It can also refer to...
    * to leap upward arching the back.
    * to charge with the head lowered.
    * to make sudden jerky movements
    * to resist stubbornly and obstinately
  • A coin toss in 1970 between the 2 biggest losers for the first pick in the college draft, went to this club and along with it came Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Directly due to this coin toss, the team became the fastest team in history to win a championship.
  • This club can field a team that would rival any. How about at Guard Sam Cassell, also at Guard Oscar Robertson, at Forward Bob Dandridge. at Forward Terry Cummings, and at Center the one and only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar .
  • An alternate team could also be fielded that included greats Alvin Robertson, Ray Allen, Marques Johnson, Vin Baker, and Bob Lanier.
  • This team played for and won the 1970 / 1971 National Basketball Association title by playing fantastic ball. It began with the team making off season moves in trading Flynn Robinson and Charlie Paulk to the Royals and got back Oscar "The Big O" Robertson who averaged 19.4 points that year, earned a space on the All Star squad. Lew Alcindor, who later changed his name to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, averaged 31.7 points per game to propel them to the title.
