MilSox Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Such as this? I thought it was the best of their 2000 brand, but I'm not exactly sad to see it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorpeligro Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 My favorite Brewers wordmark is this one from the American Association days. I don't think it was ever on a jersey, though.

Gothamite Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Oh, please don’t go to that old site. It’s embarrassing. That was a common Brewers mark in the mid- to late-40s. You’re right that it never appeared on a jersey, although they did use it on promotional materials. And they had different versions of that heavy brush script: The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

I figured it was your site, but couldn't find your name on it. Subtle differences: That mark on the Swinging Owgust score card has capital letter "E"s and a drop shadow. It is also bolder and less arched than other contemporary versions (also from your site): I think it would look good on a red alternate that could be worn along with other American Association garb on the occasional "Borchert Field Saturday," timed perhaps to coincide with Wisconsin Football Saturdays (yes, I realize that the seasons overlap by only one month).

Gothamite Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Yeah, they had at least five or six different versions of that one. This is 1944, 1945, 1947, 1950, and 1951. I would love to see an ongoing acknowledgment of the original Brewers, but I'm not sure about a red alternate. That's stepping too far outside their regular palette for my taste. Something like this would be good for a jersey script: The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 A little late on the cap monogram representing both the location and the team nickname but my brain has always read the Rockies cap as ColoRado which I know is wrong but it's like my mind isn't able to accept it as both Colorado and Rockies together so I'm falsely justifying it as being location only. I think I'm the only person who has ever had this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The issue of the Rockies' monogram is a tough one for me, because you already have standalone Cs for Chicago, Cincinnati, and now Cleveland, with the Chicago and Cincinnati Cs being classic baseball logos. Going CR to break from the pack admittedly makes some sense, but it lacks the cleverness of the ball-in-glove in breaking the location-only rule. My solution would be a D for Denver, but I guess that would offend the sensibilities of people in Fort Collins, so that's not an option. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason they didn't name them Denver Rockies. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
