Milwaukee Bucks get a newer meaner logo

In addition to drafting David Noel and getting Damir Makota last night, the Milwaukee Bucks unveiled their new logo and color scheme. It’s not much different from the logo they adopted in 1993 but gone is the purple and replaced by “striking” red. Can’t you imagine a bunch of suits sitting in a conference room going, “yeah yeah.. we’ll go red… red is fierce!… red means we’re gonna be a force to be reckoned with!” Then they proceeded to spent countless man hours and thousands of dollars with creative consultants to do a simple color replace that anyone with photoshop skills could’ve done in 2 minutes. Frankly, we kinda liked the original Bucks logo. Now that was fierce.

The new uniforms won’t be unveiled until September. And if history is any guide, it’s the uniforms that will create the most shock and disgust. Remember the Sixers uniform from the early nineties? Barkley hated them so much he said it looked like his 5 year old daughter drew them with crayon.

Flames and Bucks, please report to the first tee


The last of the top rated western conference seeds went down yesterday as the Ducks dropped the Flames 3-0 in Calgary. Watching the game on OLN, the Pengrowth Saddledome (what an awkward name) was dead silent when Salei scored to make it 2-0. Flames fans knew that a comeback was highly unlikely they way Ducks goaltender Bryzgalov was playing.

At the end of the game, they showed a Flames fan offering congratulations to a Ducks fan in the stands. Dare we say that if this was Philly, that would never have happened, unless the handshake was a ploy to drag the opposing fan closer for a punch in the face. We were rooting hard for the Flames too. Not because we have an interest in the club, but we imagine that a run through the Stanley Cup playoffs would have brought us more pictures like these. Ahhh… missed opportunities.

Meanwhile, in Detroit, the Pistons felt they had had enough of the Bucks and blew them out to clinch their series. With the other series going 6 or 7 games, the Pistons will get some rest as they await their next opponent.
