panameno42 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 It's not that impressive. They did good, another team did great. Should St. Louis should wear two patches this season? One for the NLCS, one for the World Series? They achieved both goals.thats will be stupid. just expect a championchip patch along with the patch on the fitteds.BTW something dont seem..........................................kosher with the brewers logo.82 years?....they could've wait to the 90th year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Not 82 years as a franchise. It's commemorating the pennant they won in 1982. 25 years since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHoJoe Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Damnit, why can't the Brewers go back to that awesome logo.Why can't the Brewers go back to the American League Central Where they belong?

rams80 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 It's kind of sad when you have to make a commemorative patch for a team that lost the championship.It's not about losing the championship, it's about winning the pennant.Baseball is unique in that the League Championship is a goal in itself.One would argue that the pennant has diminished in value after the merger of the two leagues.

You could also argue that weak pitching and increased strength training (to say nothing of steroids) has diminished the value of so many stats.But tradition counts for something. I still think the FA Cup is the greatest competition in the world, even if some of the bigger clubs field reserve sides. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Korkie Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I love that Milwaukee script. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."Dr. Kelso: My son is a big baseball fan. Not so much playing it, but more the designing and sewing of uniforms.Tyler: That's neat.Dr. Kelso: No, it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 As do I.The Brewers use the 1990-1993 variation on their Sunday BP jerseys:If the Brewers ever decide that they aren't ashamed of their hometown, maybe we'll see that script back again.

BallWonk Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'm not saying that I'm in favor of the patch, only that winning a pennant is no small accomplishment.There are many clubs who would love to have one in their history. The Yankees celebrated their pennants on a logo couple years back. ....I'm just sayin'. It's one of those things that I love about baseball, the little quirks. A League Championship in all other sports is significantly less meaningful.I agree with you 100 percent in principle. And another example: the climax of The Natural, the movie version, is a decisive game for the Knights to win the pennant. The World Series doesn't play into it at all.My problem with this sort of patch, though, is celebrating the anniversary. It borders on insulting to fans -- especially in a city like Milwaukee where bad ownership has consistently sabotaged what could have been a contending franchise. I suspect that 1982 is every Brewers fan's favorite season, but seeing this patch ought to make every Brewers fan stand up and shout, "Stop jerking me around with nostalgia and start winning!"If you want to celebrate your past pennants, great. Make a patch and list them all. Better yet, hang them in your ballpark like the Brewers already do. (Can't wait to get back to Miller Park in June!) But celebrating the [name of element] anniversary of a good season with a uniform patch is just half-assed. Might as well have a patch celebrating the anniversary of the sausage races or something. Honor the achievement, sure, but not the length of time since you last achieved something worth remembering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that 1982 is every Brewers fan's favorite season, but seeing this patch ought to make every Brewers fan stand up and shout, "Stop jerking me around with nostalgia and start winning!"I can't really argue with you there. But that was one bad owner, who squandered the legacy she was given in trust, and she's now gone. That the relatively new owner has a sense of history as he builds a better club for tomorrow (both of which are supportable statements, IMO), is a good thing.Do I love the patch? Yes, design-wise. Do I love the idea of the patch? No, not really. Frankly, I'd rather see Attanasio stop giving us teasing dabs of nostalgia and just make the uniform change official already.

Before that, you have the best record, you win the pennant. End of story. After the playoffs were introduced, the pennant lost its luster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
