Milwaukee had nothing to do with this. Oh OK, thanks. I don't have cable so didn't actually see the game. I would have liked to see the Marlins get the full home team treatment, but apparently they are treating it as a road game, with the only exception being that they bat second. They could have had both teams wear their road unis, like the Cubs and Astros in 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Oh, I've always hated that script wordmark. Talk about generic. At least the block letters are distinctively theirs. If the Brewers want a script, they should just bring this one back. From the distinctive B to the unique pointed tail, it's as singular as it is beautiful. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Ark Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 If you looked at both from far away (say on TV or at a game) they would look exactly the same, but one is awful and one is great? That makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Not sure why it doesn't to you. Details make all the difference in design, and obviously not all details are discernible at a distance. Good design looks good from far away and close up. Bad design can often look good under one of those conditions, but falls short under the other. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I guess the point is that the Brewers need a total redesign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Braves wearing their "Los Bravos" set today. Still absolutely despise it. Adding "the" to the script does nothing to acknowledge the Hispanic community. Not to mention that the script is completely jacked up. "Bravos" is the same length as "Braves" and somehow it's positioned totally different than it normally sits. I think they tried to make sure "Los" did not overlap the headspoon but it looks terrible. The script is also skewed very poorly. Compare the angle of the script compared to that of the tomahawk. They should parallel each other and yet they're so obviously off. It's like they offered this project to a high school intern and the result is what we see today. As a Braves fan, this is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Yeah, but there's that awkward tail again. I don't know why the Brewers thought they needed to do that for the button-ups: looks so much better without. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

BBTV Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 the letter e doesn't make for a natural tail connection. Letter s doesn't look bad though, but if you can't make a tail look good on both, then they shouldn't have it on either. The script is a little generic, but considering how bad adding little custom elements usually turns out, I'd play it safe and go with generic. I dunno - maybe make the outline a slight shadow?

Gothamite Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Agreed on the "e". That always bothered me back in the day. I actually think the script looks more generic with the tail added on. It's perfectly distinctive without it. I'd shudder to mess it up with a shadow or other needless clutter. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

It is distinctive - for people like us, or people who have watched baseball forever and are more used to scripts having tails. To average Joe, it's just cursive writing. Same with the old Pittsburgh script - I think it was plenty distinctive on its own. Like the Mil one, I like how they started off - no fancy tails or anything with the first letters. I don't love PITTSBURGH on the current road jerseys - it's nice, but too many letters. The script would look nice.

The_Admiral Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Now that they committed to matching numbers, the cursive Pittsburgh would look kind of weird. Now for matching NOBs, one can hope. I like the tail on Milwaukee but I'm a sucker for tailed scripts.
