We got an early peek yesterday, but today the Milwaukee Bucks officially revealed the team's new "Fear the Deer" alternate jersey, a "super-charged" version of the team's former black third uniform now featuring a stripe of the "Cream City rainbow" across the chest with the Bucks logo in the middle and the player number underneath.
Old versus new.
The new jersey will make its onto the court 16 times throughout the season – including its debut at the season opener against the Houston Rockets on Thursday, Oct. 24 and its Fiserv Forum debut (complete with the alternate Fear the Deer court as well) on Friday, Dec. 6 against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Bucks will also wear these alternate uniforms during the following home games:
- Thursday, Dec. 19 vs. Lakers
- Friday, Jan. 31 vs. Nuggets
- Thursday, Feb. 6 vs. 76ers
- Friday, Feb. 28 vs. Thunder
- Friday, March 27 vs. Wizards
As for off the court, fans will be able to find the new uniform, as well as the rest of the Bucks Statement Edition Collection merchandise line, at the Bucks Pro Shop starting Sunday, Oct. 20.
And for those still craving the purple '90s throwback uniforms, there's still a chance we'll see their return as the Bucks still have a new City Edition uniform (aka the yellow MECCA jerseys from last year, aka easily the flashiest of the alternate looks) to announce for the new season. But we shall see. Stay tuned ...
As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
