As @ Sabbatino: reverted my cleanup edits, I am proposing that the sections in question be taken care of as follows: The "team firsts" section rolled into a comprehensive team history article, and delete the unnecessary list of owners in the interest of having a more consistent article style across NBA teams. Etzedek24 ( talk) 21:03, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
@ Etzedek24: Regarding the colors of the team. I could not find anything about "Good Land" being the nickname of Milwaukee so the color in question should be "Good land green" or "Good Land g reen" (if you will be able to give proof for it being a nickname) as green is a common word. I did find that "Cream City" is the nickname of Milwaukee so the color should be listed as "Cream City cream" since cream is also a common word. Same goes for "Great Lakes Blue" as blue is again a common word and it should be listed as "Great Lakes blue". I do know that Great Lakes is a famous lake chain so there is no need to indicate that for me, because I did not realize that at first so that was my mistake. MOS:CAPS quite clearly says that common words are not to be capitalized. Just because the media (leagues, teams, newspapers, etc.) use strange capitalization (as I wrote in my edit summary – "Head Coach" or "Person X Has Been Hired As General Manager") that does not mean that it should go against the MOS:CAPS policy. – Sabbatino ( talk) 17:23, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

The consensus is that when it comes to team colors that include proper nouns and/or are created specifically for the team (as opposed to common color names such as gray, blue, or black), the whole color name should not be capitalized.
When it comes to team colors that include proper nouns and/or are created specifically for the team (as opposed to common color names such as gray, blue, or black), should the whole color name be capitalized? TNats 3 03:10, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
PS: Regarding the side question raised below, about whether to use a "branded" color name, that's a
reliable sources matter. If we have RS for specifics about the color (Pantone number, or whatever), it can be included in the section on the team livery/branding/whatever. If we do not, then we should just use plain-English color terms, because we have no evidence of a specific, definable color, and
WP is not a marketing and branding platform. See extended comment below for pro and con rationales on a case-by-case basis.

I imagine a lot of teams brand their own colors, like the Cleveland Cavaliers with "Cavalier Black". [1] Is it any different than plain old black? Is "Cavalier Wine" any different from Wine (color)? One thought would be to use the basic color name unless there is a notable name i.e. Wikipedia article exists (that meets GNG) for said color e.g. Dodger blue.— Bagumba ( talk) 19:47, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
Actually, this RfC is confusing as to whether the question is 1) whether to use a branded name or the common color name, 2) whether a color should be fully capitalized e.g. Dodger blue or Dodger Blue, or 3) both 1 and 2.— Bagumba ( talk) 19:52, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
If they specify exact colors by name and identifying color codes, it's okay to use "Fooville green and Wildcat orange", but we should avoid "Fooville Green and Wildcat Orange" per MOS:CAPS (it's excessive stylization for no real purpose, just marketing aggrandizement; we don't even capitalize the second element in "Moore's law", etc.). Whether we should use "Fooville green and Wildcat orange" is an open question. If the color is notable, certainly. This is rare.
If it's not notable, just specifying the color details is sufficient: "a light green (
hex color 97FA92), and a dark orange (D27D1E)". We already know the team name, so repeating it is redundant and not helpful to the reader, and serves only the interests of the team's branding department. If the official color happens to coincide with a standardized
Web color, we should use that name of it, because, well, it's an internationally standardized color name. Same goes for named Pantone colors, or whatever other system applies. I.e., give readers something they can look up and relate to other information and other processes, like using the colors in GIMP or Illustrator. There is no encyclopedic purpose to telling readers that the Fooville Wildcats use Fooville Wildcat colors. There are too many
WP:NPOV and
WP:NOR issues here in using promotional names for things we can't actually prove are trademarked or even specific.

The whole reason I made this discussion was because I am confused about MOS:CAPS and it gives no specific word about the stylization of team colors. Can someone point out to me where on the page I can get that information? TNats 3 01:53, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

On September 27th it has been announced that “The Portland Trail Blazers traded guard Damian Lillard to play alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo with the Milwaukee Bucks as part of a three-team deal that also included the Phoenix Suns”
This trade has now made the Milwaukee Bucks the fourth favorite team to win the 2023-2024 NBA season, only behind the defending champions The Denver Nuggets, The Boston Celtics, and The Phoenix Suns. [1] Kvncortz ( talk) 03:07, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
