<font size="2">Bucks Logos Over The Years</font>
1968-1993 Original Bucks Logo

This was desingned by Matt Kastelic. Indeed a very unique. This logo was Milwaukee’s first logo ever.

1993-
The New Bucks Logo

The logo was made to recognize the 25th anniversary and was used ever since. This change was used for everyone to get an even better sense of pride in Milwaukee. It is used even now.

<div align="center">
Bango
Milwaukee Bucks Mascot
Born on October 1977, he is the Bucks mascot for over 25 years. He is a crowd pumper and when you hear that Bradley center rocking, he is the catalyst as he gets everyone involved. He is also great for the community. He is available for birthday parties, functions, etc. Just give him a ring, and he’ll be there!</div>

Gmanspack, I hope you like the history thread. I am just trying my best to help this forum. Sorry I could not have gone more in-depth, I was kind of busy. You are the team leader and I will understand completely if you do not want this thread. Just a suggestion for the forum. You can delete it if you want to. I'm just trying to help out.

[Saves]

That took a lot of work. Good work. I don't know why Gman would want it deleted, but alright.

[Mr. J]

Thank you, I'm trying to help out the forum in any way I can. Gman is the leader and he might not want it. I do have to respect that.

[gmanspack]

Nah man thats awesome, That looks like its a ton of work, and I appriciate you taking the time and doing it and helping me out. I find it very useful.

[TwinTowers]

Hey, GMan thanks for all the game previews and this. It must take a lot of work to do this and I appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

[Mr. J]

^Actually I made this thread. Gman's dedication to the Bucks forum is one of the reasons why I decided to post here int his forum. He is definitely one of the most underrated posters here in JBB.

Btw, Do you think it should be stickied so we cn always have a reference?

[TwinTowers]

^^ Hey man I'm real sorry I thought it was Gman.But anyway real nice thread.

[Mr. J]
