MILWAUKEE — The wait is officially over. The Milwaukee Bucks will once again don their Cream City jerseys this year.
Last worn during the 2019-20 season, the jerseys had to be shelved because they conflicted with the digital advertisements that the NBA projects onto courts during games. The color of the jerseys is a bit too similar to the courts, so ads would phase through players’ bodies similar to when a meteorologist wears green in front of a green screen.
It would seem that that Bucks have crafted a solution, and now the popular look will be making a triumphant return.
The Cream City moniker is in reference to the cream-colored bricks that make up Milwaukee’s foundation. The jerseys also feature the Bucks’ green and blue striping that have become a team staple since the 2015 brand refresh.
“This uniform embodies the history of Milwaukee and its ‘Cream City’ moniker with a design that celebrates the cream city bricks that our city was built with,” Bucks chief sales and marketing officer Dustin Godsey said. “The Cream City uniform has been a fan-favorite since its debut, and we’re thrilled to see it back on the court this season.”
Along with the return of the Cream City jerseys, the Bucks will also roll out a Cream City court for the new season. The court features Fiserv Forum’s coordinates at the center and a map of Milwaukee’s streets within the perimeter on each side of the court.
The new jerseys will go on sale in November.
