Survival79 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'm sure it's just the quality of the image and whatever Chris did to enhance it, but those stitches sure do look a little red.

ltravisjr Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 The change in the ball placement is something I can live with. It always looked like the original had the ball *too* high. When I first had that lights on moment that there was an M and a b in there I thought it was genious but never thought it was a seamless rendition of the letter "b" because of it. Ideally, I would have liked to ball to be a little raised but not so much as in the original logo. It might be the same principle I learned in writing class where the title of your cover page is supposed to be just a little bit above center since that is what pleases the eye. As far as the two stitches - I have to let it sink in a bit; I'm not sure. The webbing connecting the m and b - horrible! The genious of the logo is that two distinct letters by their own merits can so perfectly suggest a glove. Now, it as if they had to "help" the glove-look by adding that extra piece. Downgrade. Plus, its visually unappealing. I don't know how, but it makes the letters seem in conflict. Its like something is trying to pull them together now. Ugh.

Gothamite Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 It's really awful. I said it looked like a concept logo; this one has been kicking around for the past couple years, and occasionally gets mistaken for the real thing. I'll let you be the judge.

Like, you can definitely tell which one is old-school and which one is the new one. With this new Brewers glove logo, one logo looks classy and the other looks like a knock-off.

MattMill Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Any speculation on throwbacks, regular jersey colors, or alternates? Considering they wore BiG a little more than 25% of their games, this won’t feel like a totally new thing. The # of times worn climbed over the years. Could we see M return as a 6-8 game retro? Is that too soon? Sadly the navy BiG was only ever worn with the navy alternate tops. So it’ll be nice to see that cap spread its wings. White, and grey here we come. The popular navy alternate jersey had the now old M and Milwaukee wordmark. They’re gonna really have to think about what their wordmark will be for their away/alternate set. The royal blue BiG will be in a sticky situation. If you’re going with a new rebrand, you’d basically have two identities from the onset. The brewers were working with three for a few years now. If they embrace the navy BiG, they need to push it out for 80%-90% of their games. 5-10% for maybe the royal blue BiG. They need to make a stand and not sit on three identities. Top priority. Finding a new navy blue wordmark and jersey. That ones gonna be worn a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd77 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I don't think this is rocket science. Spring training Brewers wordmark on the home white w/navy pinstripes, spring training number font, new roundel logo on sleeve. Done. Curious to see if there will be any secondary / tertiary logos.

No one can leave anything alone. It's too literal. I get it - they play baseball. It's a baseball in a baseball glove. The other one was obviously a baseball too, but when tilted like that, it wasn't as 'in your face' basebally as the new one.

That's why I mentioned it...thinking about the state logo they've always had, plus the fact that they've always had multiple uniform patches for home/road, etc. I think the one used from '94-'99 was the best out of the bunch, so I'd like to see something similar using an M instead of the glove.

Old School Fool Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I understand what forum this is and whatnot but I find it kinda hilarious how everyone wanted the logo back and we're gonna get it but now we gotta to hate it.

Gothamite Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I keep coming back to... why? They already had two versions of the BiG logo. And if this leak is real, it’s a dead certainty that the navy version of the cap will be gone, replaced by a cap with this logo on it. Just as it is a dead certainty that the retro throwback logo will be unchanged. So we went from two caps with complimentary versions of the logo... to two caps with different versions of the logo. Why? What’s the point in that? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
