Charlotte Bobcats
The Bobcats are the youngest team in the NBA. The team's Bobcat logo depicts the spirit of this new team and also shows the team's aggressive spirit and desire.
The team's logo highlights the two special ears of the bobcat, which also shows the clean and smooth characteristics of the bobcat. At the same time, the bobcat's ears are erect and its teeth are exposed, as if it is preparing to launch an attack.
The Bobcats' logo maintains the image of the Bobcats. The rich orange color that is unique to the Bobcats has become the main color of the Bobcats logo. Meanwhile, bright blue, black and silver, along with Bobcat orange, make up the team's four colors.
Bobcats are native to the Carolinas in the eastern United States, but can often be seen in other parts of the United States. The Bobcats are nocturnal, secretive, ferocious and quick, and often launch attacks with the ability to jump 10 feet, making them the most ideal representatives of Charlotte's new NBA team.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks entered the NBA in 1968. This name was selected from more than 1,400 names. The winner was R.D. Trebrix, who lives in Whitefish Bay. Trebrix was also rewarded with a new car for having his team name selected.
John Eriksson, the Bucks' general manager at the time, said the judges chose the name that was closest to local life in Wisconsin. For this reason, the team chose Bucks as the team name due to the deer's numerical dominance among local wildlife.
