MILWAUKEE — The NBA's 2024-25 City Edition jerseys were leaked on social media. Initial fan reactions to the Bucks uniform, which remains unconfirmed, are ho-hum.

According to NBA.com, Milwaukee's three primary colors are Good Land Green, Cream City Cream and Great Lakes Blue. The 2024-25 fourth jersey reportedly will be Great Lakes Blue, a City Edition staple four of the past five seasons since the NBA banned the 2019-20 "Cream City" jerseys, a fan favorite.

Despite fans clamoring for the "Cream City" jerseys to return, Bucks chief marketing officer Dustin Godsey noted in an 2022 interview with UniWatch that the Bucks can't wear them because they interfere with technology that is used for digitally inserted, on-court advertisements that can be seen only on TV broadcasts.

Of course, Bucks fans chimed in with their initial feedback.

It’s a City Edition with a Wisconsin state line

Where’s the connection to the City of Milwaukee?

Disregarding my dislike of the blue

The design makes no sense for the edition

The sheer number jersey editions is just too much and a pure money grab https://t.co/Ot0qZth3GA

really love how bucks fans have been complaining about blue alternates/city editions since the team started doing them, then they brought purple back and it was wildly popular, and now it’s just blue again every year. I love that.

Idk why the Bucks are the only organization that feels the need to represent the entire state of Wisconsin in the CITY EDITION JERSEYS https://t.co/lI1BYGgzKV
