The Milwaukee Bucks unveiled their new statement uniforms for the 2022-23 season.
The “Fear the Deer” statement uniforms are a take on the team’s famous slogan that has become one of the better and more recognizable slogans around the NBA.
The antlers are more prominently featured in the new look for the 2022-23 season.
Below are Twitter posts from the Bucks’ official account showcasing the uniforms:

Besides the antler feature and the use of a black uniform, this isn’t far outside the other Bucks’ designs and is not a radical statement.
While not completely new and revolutionary, it is a familiar and cool design that will look great on Milwaukee Bucks’ All-Star Khris Middleton and superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Imaging Antetokounmpo coming downhill at opposing defenders with this new uniform will certainly strike fear in the hearts of those players that have to try and defend him.
The Bucks are coming off a disappointing second-round exit to the eventual Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics.
After finally breaking through and winning it all in 2021, Antetokounmpo and company will look to bounce back and once again compete for the title.
These new threads will be a good start to that journey.
