By the way, <a href="http://www.nba.com/features/peterson.html" rel="nofollow">this is me</a>. I was at the Draft party when they unveiled the those colors (purple, silver, green) in 1994. We were excited because we thought the old multi-green scheme had worn itself out. I like the new ones much better, but I do miss the Bango logo. One of the best ever. (I also miss the old Brewers interlocking B-M logo as well... As you can guess, I am old.) No prob, sir… By the way, this is me.

Thanks for the pointer Rob, I'll make that correction. I thought they were still in the rotation, but guess not. Good call on the Bucks' part eliminating those awful, awful unis. Really?
