Bucks introduce '90s era throw back jerseys


The Milwaukee Bucks have joined the NBA's 2013 Hardwood Classics initiative by introducing a new on-court jersey, the design of which was used during the 1995-96 season.

The new version of the 1995-96 Bucks alternate uniform features an action-styled deer head covering much of the front of the jersey, which is forest green with purple and white accents

The Bucks jersey is part of a league-wide initiative celebrating unique uniform designs of the '90s. The initiative also provides on-court extensions of the jersey design via warm-up suits and shooting shirts. To see images of the Bucks Hardwood Classics uniform, log on to bucks.com/throwback.

Fans will get their first look at the adidas NBA Hardwood Classic jerseys Friday night when the Bucks take on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden at 6:30 p.m. on FOX Sports Wisconsin.

The home debut will occur Saturday night when the Bucks meet the Orlando Magic at the BMO Harris Bradley Center at 7:30 p.m. In all, the Bucks are slated to wear the throwback threads at 10 games this season, including six home dates.

As part of the "Throwback Month" promotion, upper level tickets for all February home games will be priced comparably to how they were when the Bucks last wore these uniforms in the mid-'90s, with hundreds of seats as low as $6.

Milwaukee's February home schedule tips off this Saturday, when the Orlando Magic make their first BMO Harris Bradley Center appearance of the season, and also includes visits by Detroit (Feb. 9), Washington (Feb. 11), Philadelphia (Feb. 13), Brooklyn (Feb. 20) and Atlanta (Feb. 23).

Throughout the month of February, Bucks fans can get in the spirit by participating in online contests via Bucks.com, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, with the opportunity to win prizes including courtside seats for the Brooklyn game on Feb. 20 and throwback Bucks gear. Stay tuned to Bucks.com and the @Bucks Twitter account for more details on how to participate.

Not my first choice if we're choosing throwbacks....this is kind of the cartoonish hilariously weird 90's jerseys like the Raptors dinosaur jerseys....but not bad to see these again.
