bauerat02 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I believe the new wordmark, font, and numbers are already on display at the renovated spring training facility. You can see the 50 in the patch on the Bernie bobblehead has the same number font as the numbers on display in Maryvale. I bet we have been looking at the Brewers wordmark and number font for the last year and didn't even know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be celebrating their 50th anniversary with the 2020 season, so it makes much more sense to bring out a new look for that, rather than have it coincide with a stadium name change. Having said that, the newly remodeled store opens on the 18th so I would think the unveil would be on or before that day...it also makes sense to have the new stuff out for holiday shopping. But it is the Brewers so I wouldn't put it past them to screw this whole thing up. 7 hours ago, NicDB said: They're not screwing it up. Wisconsin is lousy with cheap idiots the Brewers know they can nickel and dime thinking they're getting a good deal on holiday merch. Then once they sold out of their back stock, they can ride the excitement of spring training and unveil the new stuff. I hope that's not actually the case. But the longer they drag this on, the more I'm inclined to believe it. Thats my point. The Brewers have been putting out so little info that barely anyone even knows theres a change coming. And if they do know a change is coming, half of them already know about the stadium name change next year and think that itll all be together. Whether thats them screwing the pooch on this and just not giving a release date, or are deliberately not releasing info so they can still bait people into buying dated gear remains to be seen. But we can all agree, the lack of info is insanely aggravating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love how the “9” vaguely resembles a beer barrel. If the Spring Training signage is any indicator of the new Brewers’ uniform numbers and scripts, I for one will be very happy.

mjd77 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I absolutely love that number font, but I'm still unsure about how those wordmarks will look on a jersey. I still wish they'd come up with a new cursive script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simtek34 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Does that Brewers wordmark remind anybody else of the Nationals 2005-2010 wordmark with the font style and letter arch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 The arch, maybe. But not the letter font, which is heavily serifed where the Nationals' is sans-serif. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Didn't the Motre Bame set have distinctly greenish-grey road uniforms? I could dig that for the Brewers. Leave bluish-grey for whenever the Royals come to their senses and drop regular grey. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenish-gray only worked (to the extent that it did) because all the trim was green. That shade of gray would look awful with navy and athletic gold. When they tweaked the design in 1996, the trim was blue and the gray was a more traditional shade. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

The_Admiral Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hmm, I think it would work great with royal blue and athletic gold, because it would contrast with both. Might be a problem with navy, I admit. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilSox Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Team store logo still has the old branding. My god, if they really are planning to bombard us with the new identity as a side note of a stupid "re-opening," the team's marketing director needs to be fired immediately. Especially after seeing what the Padres did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything the team’s probably downplaying the change since they figure that they’re going full time to an already-used logo with changes the average fan won’t notice. It’s almost looking like this’ll be announced via tweet at this point a la Arizona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 If it was a 2021 thing, then the Topps card and bobblehead wouldn't have the new logos. HOWEVER, I remember the Detroit Pistons had a new logo all ready to go a few years ago and then shelved it until the next year. I really hope that doesn't happen here.

Given the tone-deafness the franchise has displayed for years pertaining to branding, it wouldn't surprise me at all if this is what happened. However, I stand by my point. They have a golden chance to get the fans and community excited about the return of a civic icon and they're refusing to even say one word about it.

KittSmith_95 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Do we have a cleaner copy of the new BIG yet? I posted in here about a mock up I was interested in seeing, and I think I'm going to try and make it myself, but I need a copy of the new glove to do that.
