If this had been their original road jersey, they could have kept these. They really dropped the ball going all-in on purple when they'd always been green + some other color up to that point (and since). That script is a beaut. Get rid of the dropshadow and it'd look as good as when the Brewers used it.

That's actually a pretty good look for them. I would love to see some of these northern New England teams sewing the seeds for an Expos return. -

As much of an advocate for the BiG that I am, I always felt like the Motre Bame unis were never given a fair chance. They got replaced by those awful Miller unis after 5 years and now will only ever be associated with some very terrible teams. Perhaps your idea is something @SFGiants58 might be interested in mocking up? Does anyone actually associate those colors with Seattle anymore? Either way, I think I need that hat in my life... what a beaut! -

I actually had this idea for "Micro Brews" if the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers ever rebranded. Glad it's actually getting used somehow. I love the monogram too. Wouldn't be mad if the Brewers actually used it. -
I'll grant you, most of the North Stars uniforms were basic enough to look like they came from a sports equipment catalog. That's something you can generally get away with when you have awesome and unique colors, but the black really muddied up the look. Ironically, I became a North Stars fan when they wore black. I started following hockey the last year they played for the Stanley Cup and I thought "North Stars" was the coolest name I'd ever heard of for a team. Their colors were still pretty close to the Packers too, which was definitely a plus. I'll even say (in hindsight) that pretty much all of the North Stars uniforms could have been executed better. But I don't think anything they ever wore crossed the line into questionable taste like, say... Cooperalls, Vancouver's "Flying V," and most 90s alternates.

Years ago, the Astros wore uniforms that didn't make any sense because they were a space-themed team with a brand inspired by the railroads. Now we have the opposite. -
I always thought they got rid of those unis way too soon. They've aged incredibly well, IMO. While the current unis have aged terribly. But it's all a moot point when the 1982 fauxbacks are probably the best they've ever worn. And it's clearly what the fans prefer.

Homecoming for Terry Porter. And the best uniforms the Bucks ever wore.

Here's another thing I'm sure you've forgotten (because even Brewers fans barely remember that it happened).

This is quite an entrenched baseball tradition, though. Los Angeles Angels. Montreal Royals. Oakland Oaks. And plenty more. -

Kannapolis Cannons sounds like a perfectly fine, classic name for a minor league club. You know that's NOT what Brandiose is gonna do if they get a hold of it, though. -

Yea. Don't get rid of the name, just refresh the brand. -
I think I get what you mean and I think the fauxbacks are infinitely better for many of the reasons you cited.

I hated the Patriots as a kid because I thought Pat was the ugliest, goofiest logo I'd ever seen on a football helmet. When I hear people talk about what a great logo Pat was, I start to question their taste. The uniforms aren't bad in a vacuum. Great color balance on a template that's hard to screw up. I don't always love striping consistency but it really works here. Though the fact that they're red really is a problem. The only way I'd kinda want this look back is if they swapped the red and blue.
-
I have to make a similar request to expound on these. Especially the Lions. That's damn near perfect color balance for a football uniform IMO.
-
I don't necessarily disagree, but would you care to expound?

I'm starting to realize pretty much every team that Brandiose rebrands gets a name that sounds like it was translated from an unlicensed Japanese video game from the 8-bit era... Baseball Stars and the like. Now I kind of actually wanna see their take on the American Dreams and the Lovely Ladies. -

If you put the logos in a vacuum, then yeah, most of Brandiose's stuff probably beats this. But for my two cents, a great brand with so-so logos always beats great logos attached to a terrible brand. -

The logo's not the greatest, but you don't exactly have to look hard to find something worse. Brandiose has put out plenty of it. -

I like this better than everything Brandiose has peddled lately. See kids, it is possible to have a unique and "quirky" brand that isn't nauseatingly contrived. -
It would make much more sense for Milwaukee to drop down to D2 and find a way to add football there. Not that I expect that to happen either. Bold, visionary moves have been the exact opposite of how they've done things since the Bruce Pearl days.

The Milwaukee Admirals have unveiled a Brewers-inspired alt. Surprisingly, I do not hate these. I hate to use the word "synergy," but it's hard to deny all the levels this seems to work on. The team is owned by a Brewers minority owner, they're a Nashville Predators affiliate, and the colors are perfect for a naval themed club. Plus, the current Brewers branding comes across so much better on a hockey sweater than a baseball uniform.

That's an oar. Booyah is traditionally cooked in a huge pot and stirred with an oar. The local G-League team is named after something that people in the area hunt every November. -

For the uninitiated, booyah is a type Belgian chicken stew. Green Bay has a strong, but often overlooked Belgiain heritage. But given how controversial the team's move to Ashwaubenon was locally, this was a very peculiar direction for them to go in. I suggested the name Fox River Foxes. I thought it only made sense for them to name the team regionally and pay homage to its baseball history. The logos are an upgrade, but I've had it with Brandiose's goofy, gimmicky names. -
This is an unpopular opinion?
