Dumb but I like them better than the cream city shirts the bucks had on.
I know @Aardvark invented milk and all and he is from the region but who calls their city “cream city”.

If you've heard the nickname Cream City thrown around for Milwaukee, you might be surprised to know it isn't in honor of Wisconsin's many dairy products — or beers. It's actually a homage to the light-colored, yellowish bricks — dubbed cream city bricks — that make up countless buildings throughout the city.

The Miwuakeeites I’ve known never shut up about Milwaukee and not once did they mention this nickname.

I hadn't noticed those yet, but I agree that they're even worse. And, the answer is nobody calls it Cream City.

Nobody calls it cream city, but there's a ton of businesses called "cream city x." Like my wife (who knits) sometimes shops at "cream city yarn." So while nobody calls it that, it's not a particularly odd shirt.
