Frylock Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 That modified B reminds me a lot of the Portland Beavers script from their last couple seasons. But yeah, that Brewers alt was the best of the finalists, I'm glad it got the winning vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFanBudMan Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 As I stated earlier in the thread, I feel that the one they chose was the best option for the winner of this contest. I'm pleased with what I see from the real uni so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The script is pretty good but ultimately it's just modified Tuscan lettering and I don't like Tuscan on anyone but Boston. No, not even the Mets. Beer Barrel Man needs to be the full-time BP hat logo, though.

The Mojo Maniac Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 That modified B reminds me a lot of the Portland Beavers script from their last couple seasons.That was my first thought as well. Anyone know why they modified it? From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Cesarano Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 My only quibble is with the vertically arched player names. Vertical arching is OK on a team name, where everyone wears the same mark; but, I really don't like to see it on player names. Vertical arching on player names is too chaotic; I strongly dislike that a letter's shape changes depending on where it sits in the player's name and on how long the name is. Every "A" should look like every other "A". On this uni, I'd prefer radially-arched player names in blue (just one colour).I get where you're coming from, and feel that the vertical arching here is out of place with the radial arching on everything else they use, but come on, man, that's what made the Braves' uniform fully fantastic.For me, the vertical arching on the Braves' uniform was its flaw. They look better now without it.This.....is better than this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know why they modified it?Someone earlier suggested that the original B was ripped straight from the Buffalo Sabres 3rd.I suppose it's also possible that the Portland Beavers' B was more readily available.

No, not even the Mets.Beer Barrel Man needs to be the full-time BP hat logo, though. Love it!The hat is the only thing I don't like about this set. I always thought the Brewers could pull off some form of Tuscan since it's a go-to font for a lot of beer companies (and not just suspiciously similar to the one beer company that sponsors the team).And how can you have Beer Barrel Man without the Barrel?Either way, change that to an old gold (goes much better with cream) and that's about as close to a perfect Brewers jersey as you'll ever see... just needs a better hat.

Without any context looks it like some sort of robot head wearing a hat.

Sec19Row53 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I just posted it in the other thread, but the hat looks an awful lot like the Brewers' TATC hat, which also featured Beer Barrel Man. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pittsburghsports16 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm happy with the winner. I always thought the Brewers would look good in cream with their modern colors. In my opinion, they should drop the gold alternate, that run of the mill throwback, and just use this for Home Alternate #1 along with the blue alternate for both the home and road.

phutmasterflex Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Apparently the cap and shirts are only available at the team store. MLB Shop doesn't have it at the moment. The cap is $45. That's pretty heavy. To get it shipped is $15. Ouch Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhlyBoy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Not just from this new uniform, but from observations and seeing stuff in stores, I'm getting a serious vibe that the barrel man is making a serious comeback. This new uni might just be the spark to set off the comeback big time, and I welcome it. Really hope he finds it's way onto the regular unis as a patch or something. But this is just me feeling what's been becoming popular with merchandise and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
