The new jerseys feature a “Cream Rainbow” along the sides as an homage to the “Irish Rainbow” that was on the Bucks’ uniforms from 1977-93. The rainbow consists of the colors cream, green, white, black, and blue. The uniforms are very detail-oriented. The back collar is blue to represent the “blue-collar work ethic” of the city of Milwaukee.
The neckline sports the the alternate “M” logo and there is an upside down “Fear the Deer” slogan embroidered near the waistline.
The home jersey is white with a green outline. The lettering and numbers are green as well. The road jersey is green with a cream trim and the lettering and numbers are cream also. More explanation on the fine details of the design can be found here.
The new uniforms were revealed to those gathered at the Bucks Summer Block Party on June 6 in Milwaukee. Team president Peter Feigin stood atop a building and flipped down a building-sized poster of Jabari and Giannis modeling the new uniforms.

Initial reaction to the jerseys by Bucks fans is positive with most thinking the new owners got it absolutely perfect. Of course there were also people highly critical of the jerseys, but their dislike of the jerseys didn’t seem backed by any real criticism and was only fueled by dislike of the team.
One common comment among the various comment sections I gauged was that the new uniforms look like high school jerseys. All I can say to that is if that’s true, I wish I went to that school because these jerseys are perfect.
Let me know what you think about the new uniforms in the comment section below!!!
