Nbc reports the Milwaukee Bucks' Cream City jerseys have returned for the 2025–26 season and will be worn 11 times, including an MLK Day appearance on the NBA on Nbc quadrupleheader. The throwback uniforms reappeared during Milwaukee’s 123–114 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. The cream color pays tribute to the bricks that inspired Milwaukee’s “Cream City” nickname and the franchise’s origins as an expansion team in 1968, when Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) was paired with Oscar Robertson.

"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," said Dustin Godsey, Bucks Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, in a press release this summer. The kit features a retro bespoke font, green and blue striping, a stylized "M" on the shorts, a Wisconsin salute etched into the waistband buckle and a custom court with the "Cream City" moniker at center court.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks open the MLK Day slate by visiting Jalen Johnson and the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday, January 19, with tip-off slated for 1 p.m. ET at State Farm Arena in Atlanta and the game shown exclusively on Peacock. The remaining three games of the MLK Day quadrupleheader will air on both the network and Peacock and match the Oklahoma City Thunder vs.
