STL FANATIC Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 With the t-shirt promotion, and now this, it sure seems the Brewers are having an identity crisis. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 i coulda told ya that. basically, most Brewers fans can't seem to grasp that the days of Yount, while making for decent history, should remain history. Uniforms included. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I saw that. Weird, huh?The Brewers aren't having an identity crisis- the owner is rebranding. Pretty standard stuff in general. He's using these things to guage interest in the various schemes the Brewers have worn in the past.I think it's a smart approach, even though it virtually assures that the logo I want to see back (the Beer Barrel Man) won't return and one I don't want back (the paw) will. The new owner's smart to listen to the fans, and the fans have spoken loud and clear.Discrimihater. should the days of Starr and Nitschke have "remain(ed) history?"

Moser316 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Discrimihater. should the days of Starr and Nitschke have "remain(ed) history?" If you don't like the logo, argue about the logo. The only reason that's not an issue with the Packers is because their overall look hasn't really changed all that much since the glory days of the 1960's (save for a few minor changes here and there, along with the Forrest Gregg era). Basically, you're comparing apples and oranges here.Had the Brewers not changed their visual identity in 1994, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion today.

Gothamite Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Probably true. I just don't think "they're not using it now, so they shouldn't use it in the future" is a very good argument, and that's essentially the tack that so many anti-glovers use.Argue the merits of the logo, not some odd "move forwards not backwards" logic.

VitaminD Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Gothamite, an honest and ignorant question: if you don't like the ball/glove ["dog paw"] logo, why is it on the pennant in your sig? Throw the Keg Man in there [or as we called him growing up, "Scary Robot Guy"]...I admire the ball/glove for its creativity, but if the Brewers change, I'd hope it would include at least a passing reference to beermaking. As much as I don't like the new logo package, there is a wheat stalk prominently included. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Well, two reasons - I love that "Milwaukee" wordmark, and it wasn't in use when the Beer Barrel Man was around. Second, the BBM didn't fit as well on the pennant - I had to shrink him down too small. The paw is more square, so it filled the space better.I like the glove logo okay, although it's not the one I want back.

Discrim Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 the main reason I said what i said is, as is pretty obvious, I'm not too high on bringing the glove back as the primary logo. It was good for its time, and heck-I used to have some Brewers hats with the glove on it back in the day. but teh basic thing is I don't like the glove enough where bringing it back would make sense to me, and I prefer the current duds to the Yount-era uniforms (though I prefer the 97-99 unis to both of them).

Gothamite Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 (though I prefer the 97-99 unis to both of them). You and I agree on that.Classic, simple, elegant and cool as all hell. I miss those uniforms.

deucedwo Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I used to think the current Brewers set was completely blah...until I went to Miller Park this past weekend. I've started collecting jerseys from the ball parks I visit and picked up a Brewers one while I was there. The jersey looks clean and classy in person.I would've liked the 97-99 set even more if they would've done without the green accents. The jersey script and hats were nice but the green just turned me off.P.S. Had to pick up a "ball and glove" hat while I was there too, couldn't resist!

deucedwo Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 The Miller Tour was great...besides the waiting til the taste test part. We had a blast. Here's a picture of me and a few buds in front the Miller sign. (As related to this topic, I'm wearing a ball and glove hat, while my friend wears our summer league baseball Brewers jersey - I'm in white in the middle.)

Sodboy13 Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 Mmmm... Sprecher.Never had their beer beer, but I'm a fiend for their root beer. And the Orange Cream ain't bad either. And now I don't have to road-trip to Wisconsin to get it.A while back, someone posted a concept on here using the paw. It was in a circle with with a wordmark and wheat stalks. Looked like a beauty. Now, if one were to use the Germanic font on that encircling wordmark, one could bring back the 97-99 unis, take out the green, put the paw on as a sleeve logo, and there you'd have it. Gorgeous, and a fusion of Brewers looks past and present. Maybe, if it could be pulled off tastefully, a wheat stalk could span the front of the jersey, under the "REWER." Your thoughts?

Gothamite Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I think what you're describing is a bit of a mess. Too many elements of too many schemes - it's a Frankenstein's Monster of a concept.I like the idea of a barley stalk under the wordmark, though. I had that on an old concept - I'll see if I can find it. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
