The Bucks may not be playing a game this season at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena (once known as the MECCA and home of the Bucks from 1969-88), but the MECCA is coming to them.

On Monday, the Bucks announced their alternate "City Edition" jersey, which will be used in 12 games this season beginning Monday, Nov. 19 at home against the Denver Nuggets. The jersey's color scheme draws inspiration from the bold colors of the floor used in the MECCA during the Bucks' two decades of calling the venue home.

Last year, the Bucks played a game against the Celtics in the venue, complete with a replica floor from an era associated with some of the best Bucks basketball teams in franchise history. Now, the bold colors will be on display in six road games and six home contests at brand new Fiserv Forum.

The uniform design leaked out last week. Merchandise featuring the design will be available beginning at 11 p.m. Thursday, exclusively at the Bucks Pro Shop inside Fiserv Forum and at Bucks.com. The pro shop will be open from 11 p.m. until 1 a.m. for those who want a first crack at the swag.

It means the Bucks won't use the cream-colored "Cream City" jerseys they used last season. Instead, the team will utilize its standard white uniform, its dark green uni and its black "Fear The Deer" jersey with the City installment.

Other home games scheduled to feature the City Edition uniforms are Dec. 10 against Cleveland, Jan. 7 against Utah, Jan. 21 against Dallas, March 24 against Cleveland and April 7 against Atlanta.

The jerseys will be used on the road Dec. 17 at Detroit, Dec. 22 at Miami, Jan. 29 at Detroit, Feb. 2 at Washington, April 1 at Brooklyn and April 4 at Philadelphia.
