Uniforms
The Bucks' first uniforms were based on the Boston Celtics' uniforms, featuring block lettering and numbers. The hunter green road uniforms feature the city name and numbers in white with red trim. The home white uniforms feature the team nickname and numbers in hunter green with red trim; the color scheme was reversed for the 1971–72 NBA season. In the 1973–74 NBA season, the road uniforms feature a script 'Milwaukee' and numbers in red with white trim; the following season they used the same formula for their home uniforms. In the 1976–77 NBA season the road uniforms reverted back to the block 'Milwaukee' lettering while retaining the script home uniform. The shorts feature the alternate Bucks logo on the left leg.
In the 1978–79 NBA season, the Bucks redesigned their uniforms, now featuring side stripes of various shades of green, inspired from the Rainbow Guts uniforms of the Houston Astros. Both the hunter green and white uniforms feature the streamlined 'Bucks' lettering from the team logo and block lettering. They removed the color red prior to the 1985–86 NBA season.
Coinciding with the logo change in the 1993–94 NBA season, the Bucks also changed uniforms. The purple road uniforms feature a modernized 'Bucks' lettering from their logo and numbers in silver with hunter green trim, with green side stripes. The home white uniforms feature the said lettering and numbers in hunter green with silver trim, with purple side stripes. The stripes were extended to the jersey in the 2001–02 NBA season.
In the 1995–96 NBA season the Bucks unveiled a hunter green alternate uniform. The script 'Bucks' lettering is in white fading to silver and purple and numbers are in white with green and purple trim. The uniform featured the graphic deer logo on the right side. They were used until the 1997–98 NBA season
The Bucks' current home uniform is white with hunter green stripes on the sides. Inside each green stripe is a thinner red stripe that splits into two stripes near the shoulders. The writing simply says "Bucks". The numbers are green with a red outline. Milwaukee has two road uniforms. The primary one is hunter green and the same design as the home uniform, however the thicker stripe is red, and the thinner one is white. It also says "Bucks", and the numbers are white with a silver highlight and red outline. Both uniforms were introduced in the 2006–07 NBA season. The secondary road uniform is red, introduced in the 2008–09 NBA season. It is made to resemble the 1960s–1980s uniforms. It says "Milwaukee" in white and silver writing, along with the numbers.

“I place these numbed wrists to the pane
watching white uniforms whisk over
him in the tube-kept
prison
fear what they will do in experiment”
