Bucks debut Great Lakes Blue City uniform

MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Bucks unveiled on Tuesday, Dec. 1 the team's 2020-21 City Edition uniform, which for the first time features the team’s Great Lakes Blue color. The uniform is inspired by the city's name, Milwaukee, which means "the gathering place by the water."

A news release says the uniform features three unique shades of blue that represent the three rivers that run through Milwaukee, as well as the depths of Lake Michigan. The uniform symbolizes both Milwaukee’s and the Bucks’ role in bringing people together, which is noted by the phrase “Gathering Place” on the bottom of the jersey.

The numbers on the jersey are treated with a special coating that will reflect the light in a way that gives the illusion that the numbers themselves are wet. The center of the shorts also features the water outlines from the Bucks’ state logo, showcasing the major bodies of water that bring Wisconsin together.
