MILWAUKEE — Bank Five Nine, Milwaukee Athletics, and Learfield's Milwaukee Panther Sports Properties announce an expansion of its partnership, bringing Bank Five Nine front and center to Panther basketball fans. Bank Five Nine will debut its logo on the court at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena starting Monday, November 3, when the Panthers men's basketball team takes on Hampton University. The bank's logo will be prominently displayed in two locations on the playing surface for all men's basketball games throughout this multi-year partnership renewal.

"We appreciate Bank Five Nine's continued support of Milwaukee Athletics," said Director of Athletics Amanda Braun. "Their partnership through the on-court logo, one of our most visible sponsorship elements, demonstrates their commitment to the Panthers and our men's basketball program. We look forward to working with them to continue elevating their brand presence in the greater Milwaukee area."

"The Milwaukee Panthers men's basketball team is clearly a team on the rise, and Bank Five Nine is proud to support their efforts as they make a run to the Horizon League title," said Jeff McCarthy, Senior Vice President, Marketing Director of Bank Five Nine. "We wish the team the best of luck and hope to see all their fans this year at Panther Arena!"
 
Bank Five Nine will gain extensive visibility through its logo's placement on court, television broadcasts, and digital platforms. Milwaukee will also feature Bank Five Nine branding on television-viewable signage, venue LED screens, and through in-game highlights featured digitally on the official athletics website, mkepanthers.com.
 
"Bank Five Nine continues to be an incredible partner to Milwaukee Athletics," said Kristina Filipovic, General Manager of Milwaukee Panther Sports Properties. "The addition of on-court logos represents a valuable asset within our partnership portfolio, one that drives incremental revenue for the athletics program while delivering strong visibility and brand impact for Bank Five Nine."
