TheOldRoman Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Love the script, but the beer barrel man is kind of goofy. But, when you're called the Brewers, I guess goofy is the order of the day.Or they could go the New Orleans Pelicans route and make a logo of an enraged drunken man to show how fierce and sleek the team is.

Sodboy13 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'd say the overly-sleek, corporatized-macrobrew look of the current logos and wordmarks with Times New Roman Extra Bold numbers is the New Orleans Pelicans route.

Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

Digby Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 This is slightly off-topic but you are the people I trust to know this -- is New Era discontinuing 39Thirty caps entirely, or what? I've found those fit my head the best, but the only ones I've seen lately are really weird fashion caps. Which, then again, is what the old BP caps were...

TBGKon Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I read in yesterday's Tampa Bay Times that the new Rays BP caps will be on sale in Port Charlotte at the spring training site at the beginning of ST, with them going on sale elswhere around March 1st.

The Mojo Maniac Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The guy wearing the lager-colored alternate is also wearing the new barrel man cap...could that be a sign of what's ahead? From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouj Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I could see Milwaukee testing this out as a way to incorporate Barrel Man more into their current look. I feel like they are too invested to change things wholesale based on a fan-designed jersey. They could incorporate the new patch on all the jerseys in 2014, and make the Barrel Man hat the BP cap then too. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

CalgaryJaysFan Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The MLB Shop has the new White Sox TBTC hat online, and unfortunately the contrasting stitching over the white panel lives on...... http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=18933636I know that in the NFL sideline caps (the Cowboys' one comes to mind) New Era actually used white stitching over the white panel front, so why not in th MLB on field authentics?

I could almost excuse it if the contrast stitching was only on the hats for retail sale, but it's on the player issued hats too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working on a post for my blog that will update and flesh out that early effort. Detailing the various uses of Owgust in the 1940s and 50s, as well as incorporating all post-2005 uses, and there have been many. Maybe I'll replace that old page with a link when I'm done.

Which, then again, is what the old BP caps were...Rumor has it they are kind of reconstructing the 39Thirties, enough to re-release a bunch of new designs for the season. Not sure if that's still the plan but that's what I heard back when the NFL 39Thirties came out. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hot damn that's a beauty.The letters have really weird kerning. Check out the w's, especially the one in Brewers. It doesn't follow the curve of the roundel at all. Makes it look really awkward. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Gothamite Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah, I don't think that's a beauty at all. Odd kerning aside, there's too much going on. Three separate visual elements all overlapping and fighting for attention. Plus lettering. And what's up with the registration mark? Only the Cubs have anything like that, and it's a trademark symbol. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
