wdm1219inpenna Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I just realized in 1977 when the Mariners joined the American League, they had blue caps with a gold "M" but it was shaped like a trident. The 1977 Brewers had blue caps (although they always looked purple to me for some odd reason) and a gold "M". Would this possibly be why the Brewers switched in 1978 to the ball in glove MB logo for their caps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sec19Row53 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I doubt it. The Brewers announced their contest to look for a new logo in 1977. I doubt that they reacted due to the Mariners' debut, rather they were planning a redesign all along. They tweaked their unis with regularity in their first decade of existence. It's where I sit.

MilSox Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I have to agree it was a coincidence more than anything. What always perplexed me is that the Mariners chose such similar colors to the Brewers in the first place. Sure, the Brewers colors were technically a hand me down from Seattle. But if you're the Mariners, why align yourself in any way with the disaster that was the Pilots franchise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that color combination was an odd choice. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
