TheOldRoman Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 The more I see this jersey, the less I like it. Every other place gold (actual gold) is used on their uniforms, it is a metallic fabric/thread. Throwing a beige-ish fabric into the mix (if they decide to make a gold alt) doesn't work too well, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Well, that's the problem with a metallic color scheme. It doesn't translate across all media. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 ...and yet another reason why the Brew Crew's "classic" colors are superior and one glance into the stands at Miller Park shows which is overwhelmingly preferred by the fans. It would seem that a rebrand or even just a recoloring is imminent, but I have no idea why the organization is dragging its feet about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem that a rebrand or even just a recoloring is imminent, but I have no idea why the organization is dragging its feet about it.While the lighter blue and yellow are fan favorites, I don't see them switching back any time soon. I do think the mit and ball logo is one of the greatest in all of sports, and I'd like to see it back on their caps. Here's the problem with the old scheme: it doesn't fit at all with Miller Park. I know its kind of hard to tell from these pics, but if you switched to the old colors, it would clash with the whole ballpark.And the gold problem can be solved by only using it as a secondary. If you start using it as primary jersey colors, the multiple golds get confusing and the identity is lost. When they're on the sleeves and embedded in the uniform, they have a metallic sparkle.

The only reason I can think they haven't switched over yet is because they're afraid of losing the revenue stream that the Cooperstown gear brings in, but I would hope that would be superseded by the need to protect the Brewers brand from dilution and the potential of a color pallete that's ownable in MLB.

I'm not seeing why there would be a clash.If you just don't want to switch back to those colors, then that's fine, but I don't think it should be because they "clash" with Miller Park colors.

Gothamite Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 No reason that the Brewers couldn't go back to their old logos or colors. Miller Park is sufficiently generic as to allow it without a problem. Replace the signage as it comes due, and that's it.I suspect that the club is able to "double-dip" with sales of current navy and throwback royal, and therefore are disinclined to make it a permanent change.

Discrim Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 one thing I figure, if the Brewers were to roll out a permanent "Brewers" version of this jersey, I think a modernized variant of the old road cap from the early 80s might work well...got my vision of a navy cap with gold front panels and a navy version of the M/wheat...I don't feel like immortalizing said vision in concept form right now, but you get my drift.

But I honestly doubt they're selling that much of the current merch to begin with and they could always shift the focus of their throwback gear from the BiG to Barrel Man.

Gothamite Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yeah, you're right. The Barrel Man ought to be on the sleeves of the primary jersey, not limited to throwback merchandise.

PhlyBoy Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I always thought the same about the colors at miller park, but what if they recolorized the BiG and barrel man. Great logos. BiG as hat, barrell as sleeve logo. Anyone wanna do a mock up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the jerseys of the current players you see the fans wearing are the current version.Those who are still stuck living in the past and longing for the days of Yount and Molitor shouldn't be rewarded. The players like having their own identity (which is why they have drastically reduced how often the BiG uniforms are used). It's embarassing how much the older Brewers fans here can't seem to forget about a team that had one decent year (when they LOST the Series by the way).

It's embarassing how much the older Brewers fans here can't seem to forget about a team that had one decent year (when they LOST the Series by the way).The fans aren't pouring in with Molitor and Yount jerseys. They're wearing retro Braun, Fielder, Weeks, and Hart uniforms. Fans wear them because it's cool, not because of what the team has done with the jerseys in the past. As you can see from many leagues: retro is in. The Jazz, 76ers, Capitals have all switched back to old styles, and this wasn't from their fans 'living in the past'.And no need to jab at the '82 Brewers. They were one of the greatest offensive teams in the 80's, and probably would've walked off as World Series champions if Rollie Fingers hadn't been injured.
