I'd just go for a non-pinstriped version of this set with the BiG cap, a block (provided it doesn't look like Michigan's "M") or germanic M cap, etc.:

 

 

The cursive scripts have far more personality than block. If you want to give them a bit more "personality," change up the tail to match the below image (which has the added benefit of looking like a beer label script tail).

 

 

My favorite Brewers script.  Simple and classic, yet distinctive.  Love that tail. 

 

A royal and gold version of this jersey would be perfect:

The button jersey (the Colborn card) is solid.  The Don Money photo is a little too 70s/80s with the sansabelt and big elastic arm stripes.

 

I agree with you regarding the Money photo.  In my defense, I found the Colborn picture after the Money one.  I deleted a picture of a 1970 jersey with the Pilots sleeve stripes and replaced it with the Colborn photo.

As a current resident of Milwaukee, I've only seen one person wearing Brewers gear from that period. Even then, it featured the "MB" logo. There's little local impetus to bring back the Germanic look, compared to the BiG and royal/yellow-gold.

 

I never got the "germanic" description.

 

Mostly because my brain goes to something more gothic and less industrial with the word germanic.

The top two uniforms are probably my favorite Brewers set and what I'd like to see them bring back. Ideally I'd like it paired with the block M logo although the ball in glove logo would be ok too. Also I wouldn't mind if their cap logo was a block M with a wheat underline.

That brief 1972 uniform, after they stopped using modified Pilots jerseys but before the switch to pullovers, is still my favorite. 

 

 

I love the neck and sleeve piping. 

 

Simple yet unmistakable, classic yet unique.  The color scheme is perfect for the True Blue Brew Crew.

What about these uniform in navy and gold and with the ball-in-glove logo on the cap?

[Gothamite]

The BiG doesn't work with that set.  The Germanic lettering is all angles and points, the glove logo sweeping curves. 

[OnWis97]

And the "M" hat was a great par of that set.

The Brewers current set WAS good before they decided to put the BiG in the modern colors. Now it's a bad clash of eras. It just doesn't work. They should either get rid of the Modern BiG or turn the throwback into fulltime sets because right now the Brewers have an identity crisis.

[WavePunter]

I like the current set.. A slight update to number font could help, but overall, I think it's one of baseball's more solid, unique looks

You know what is hard to believe? The Miller Lite uniforms have been around since 2000! Just go back to the BiG permanently and knock it off with this halfzies identity that doesnt please anyone. 

 

 

Can someone explain why the underlying tail only underlines the wers? 

I think this may not be the correct answer but they were once a somewhat decent team.

[mjd77]

I wouldn't mind if they got rid of the M, relegated the BiG to only throwback status, and came up with something completely new for the primary logo and/or cap mark...and when I say new, I mean ENTIRELY new...no mishmash of any previous eras.  Yet somehow I just feel like there is no chance of this happening anymore.  And no matter what, just get rid of the freakin navy!  It seriously just angers me now that they won't just let it go.

Personally, I hate the BiG logo.

[Midway]

Is there such a thing as CCSLC hipsters? Sure sounds like hating the BiG logo is the popular thing to do now.

The BiG is dumb and has always been dumb.

 

The current identity isn't perfect, but it's the best they've ever looked.  Those scripts posted above are awful.

[FiddySicks]

The only thing that I REALLY don't like about the current Brewers look is the navy blue. That color is kind of atrocious. It's boring because it's navy blue, but it's also super washed out looking because it's the lighter shade of navy. Change that to the BiG royal blue, and you've solved a major issue the Brewers have. You could even swap the metallic gold to yellow if you absolutely insisted on it, but bright royal blue and metallic gold is a damn nice color combo that's really underutilized in pro sports as a whole. 

 

And on the BiG logo, it's okay. Definitely a solid little logo, but I feel that it would be just fine used exclusively as a sleeve patch. It wouldn't make a TON of sense in terms of continuity, but that's not terribly uncommon. The A's elephant patch and the Orioles Maryland Flag roundel patch doesn't really "match" their sets either, but it still works just fine. That's a spot where teams can kind of take some liberty with elements that don't exactly correlate perfectly with their identity. It adds just a bit of extra flair and isn't terribly offensive, either.

I think the Brewers' current aesthetic gets unfairly maligned because the jerseys they are are incredibly plain. The shade of gold that they used gets washed out from even a slight distance, making things hard to read, especially "Milwaukee." 

 

Stronger colors and probably a better jersey design would go a long way and wouldn't necessitate a full makeover.

How so?  At least they're balanced.  You could say they're boring, but that's what I like about the 1940s one - the fancy B and sharp tail set it apart from other baseball scripts. 

 

The current Brewers script drives me crazy with its odd curve, stubby truncated tail, and unequal weight distribution.  They have to angle the wordmark to make it fit on the primary logo, which is a clear indicator of bad design. 

 

 

I hate how the gold drop-shadow fills in all the negative space in the "e"s and "w" but not the little bottom curve of the "s". There's just no excuse for that. 

 

And thats not even getting into that pointless blue second drop-shadow, seen on the script but not the numbers or the names on back.  Why is that needed?

 

 

There are just so many things wrong with this script.

When people openly pine for simple block lettering, that's a pretty good sign that that their main problem with the current design isn't "too plain".  

[AstroCree]

I don't hate the BiG, it's a great logo on its own. It just doesn't work well with the current set.
