MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks unveiled their 2020-21 City Edition uniform on Tuesday, featuring the team’s Great Lakes Blue color. 

The alternate uniform is inspired by the city's name, meaning "the gathering place by the water."

 

 

Great Lakes Blue was first incorporated into the Bucks’ color palette in 2015. 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 Bucks said Tuesday.

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.

 

 

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 2020-21 City Edition retail collection will launch on Thursday, Dec. 3. Also, the entire collection will be available online Thursday at shop.bucks.com and in the Bucks Pro Shop at Fiserv Forum.
