For those of us of a certain age, the Milwaukee Bucks and the color purple go hand in hand. My first memories of the team are watching Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson don the purple and green in the 1990s. This summer, it was announced that the Bucks were bringing back the purple uniforms as their “Classic Edition” set for the 2022-23 season. Tonight, the Classic Edition uniforms make their official “debut” (although they were the primary uniform for over a decade):
We've got five new looks debuting tonight 👀

The Bucks flirted with purple in last year’s “City Edition” jerseys, but went all out this year and I couldn’t be more here for it. I personally think NBA jerseys peaked in the 1990s, and the Bucks were right there with the best of them. I predict these jerseys and associated merchandise will be a top seller at the Bucks Pro Shop. Although it will be a different #34 on the court tonight, there will be plenty of nostalgia in the air at Fiserv Forum.
