Vertigo Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Nice, looking forward to it. I think the sunday alt. (if retro) should be primary IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRice16 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 It's a good way to test the waters at the very least, much like the Buffalo Bills did with their throwbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC97 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I agree. And I suspect that if the sales are strong enough, they will be soon. Why? Would people suddenly buy it more if it became the home rather then the alt? --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meetthemets Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 They will be the retro unis (ball & glove). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sec19Row53 Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 I agree. And I suspect that if the sales are strong enough, they will be soon. Why? Would people suddenly buy it more if it became the home rather then the alt? I think the point is that with these making a slight comeback (to once per week -- they're not currently even an alt), they'll be more easily available for purchase. If they outsell the regular version, they'd be brought back full time. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I agree. And I suspect that if the sales are strong enough, they will be soon. Why? Would people suddenly buy it more if it became the home rather then the alt? It's not just the jerseys that they'd sell more of if the throwbacks went from the alt to the primary - it's everything else. It's caps, jackets, patches, t-shirts, sweatshirts, pennants, and everything else that has the current logo on it. I believe that the new Brewers owner is using this alt as an opportunity to test the waters before diving in. Using this logo as an alternate will open up lots of merchandise not part of the Cooperstown Collection line and therefore not currently available to customers with the old logo. If this stuff sells as well as the Cooperstown Collection merchandise does, then I expect him to make the switch full-time. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

DrBear Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 The interesting thing is that it's a Sunday HOME alt, so you won't see it elsewhere. That's a shame; it would be interesting if they at least wore it to St. Louis in honor of the '82 series or to whereever they're playing in interleague games.

Mike Felder Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Over at Brewerfan.net, a poster who has spoken with someone at the Brewers Clubhouse Store is confirming that the new uniform will have pinstripes.Pretty much what we've heard already, but just another bit of news as we get close to the unveiling on Thursday.

Sproullie03 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Why are some of you so against the "ball and glove" logo. I dont see the problem with it. I honestly think its one of the more creative and original logos around. It ties the team name, city name, and sport all together and actually makes sense.

FiddySicks Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 will it be B and G logo with current colors, or will it have the old colors?

jkrdevil Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Why are some of you so against the "ball and glove" logo. I dont see the problem with it. I honestly think its one of the more creative and original logos around. It ties the team name, city name, and sport all together and actually makes sense. Yes, it's creative but it's also dated and what they have now is much better. Plus, the uniforms they wore with the ball and glove make it worse. The current have a better color scheme (IMO), The scripts and uniform are better, and the logo is better and fits better with the team name (The Brewers). While the ball and glove was creative it was generic and didn't really fit with the team. I think the popularity of the ball and glove has more to do with nostalgia for the past and nothing to do with the actual look. There might be a brief spike after the introduce them because of that but it will drop when it gets away with that association. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouj Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 The interesting thing is that it's a Sunday HOME alt, so you won't see it elsewhere. That's a shame; it would be interesting if they at least wore it to St. Louis in honor of the '82 series or to whereever they're playing in interleague games. They do play the Cards like 16 or so times a year now (they are both in the NL Central now), so they will wear the alts against them once in '06: the Sunday home game on June 11.
