WISCONSIN HERD AND BMO PARTNER TO HOST WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT EVENT ON FRIDAY, MARCH 20

Wisconsin Herd to Change Name to “Wisconsin HER” for One Night

OSHKOSH, Wis. (March 12, 2026)- The Wisconsin Herd, NBA G League affiliate of the Milwaukee Bucks, will partner with BMO to support women’s empowerment and celebrate Women’s History Month during the day and at the Herd’s game on Friday, March 20.

The Herd will change its name to the “Wisconsin HER” for the Friday, March 20 game, and players will wear one-of-a-kind jerseys that will be auctioned off to benefit We EmpowHER.

The specialty jerseys feature an overall purple color, the primary color for symbolizing women’s empowerment and gender equality. Within the purple pattern, the jersey showcases the lotus flower, a symbol of purity, rebirth and resilience. The flower also represents the ability to rise above adversity and bloom with beauty and strength.

These jerseys will be auctioned at the game and online at http://WISCONSINHER.givesmart.com starting now until March 27, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. CST.

“At BMO, we believe strong communities are built when people have opportunities to connect, learn, and support one another,” said Deborah Roesner, Managing Director, Wisconsin, BMO Commercial Bank. “We’re proud to partner with the Wisconsin Herd and We EmpowHER to bring people together for a day that celebrates leadership, shared experiences, and the power of community.”

Before the game, the Herd and BMO will host a free Wisconsin HER Day event with programming provided by We EmpowHER at Oshkosh Arena.
