Battle of the Logo's

Notes: Brewers thinking about logo
Team gives away T-shirts to help decide aesthetic future

CHICAGO -- Go old school or stay in the now? That's the choice facing Brewers fans when they pass through the turnstiles at Miller Park on Friday.
It's part giveaway, part focus group. Every fan in attendance will choose a free T-shirt for Friday's Brewers-Pirates game; one is navy blue and features the team's current script "M" logo accented with barley, and the other is bright yellow and features the old "ball and glove" logo that adorned Brewers caps from 1978-1993.

"It is an informal focus group," said Rick Schlesinger, the Brewers' executive vice president of business operations. "We certainly are interested in our fans' preferences regarding logos, and Battle of the T-Shirt Night is just one of several ways we are polling our fans. We have not made any decisions on logos at this point."

During Spring Training, new Brewers owner Mark Attanasio said that the he was reviewing the team's overall branding and marketing, including the uniforms. The Brewers have a number of options, from a complete change to special jerseys for batting practice or selected home games, or they may simply stick with the current look.

"I'm with you," said Brewers manager Ned Yost, who proudly wore the hat as a member of Harvey's Wallbangers. "I like the logo. It wouldn't bother me if they changed back to it. I'm like everybody else. I'd love the hats."

That old logo blows.

I like the new logo as it is.

I am a fan of the old logo myself. I think it's a pretty darn clever logo with the M and the B forming a glove. A new version of the old logo could be pretty cool.

BTW, welcome to the forums brewcrew82!

[redsrbetter]

Yep I love the old one too. Welcome brewcrew82!

The old logo is clever...but it is flawed in that people have 4 fingers, not 3, which the "m" gives you...you get a thumb and 3 fingers; it's a Simpson's baseball glove

Old logo looks cool

BTW Welcome brewcrew82

How did you hear about us?

[Providence A's]

Oh yea, welcome brewcrew82. Stick around and bring some fellow Brewer fans, too.

I think a new era old logo would be best, like with the brewers colors now, and maybe like a stitching detail or something. That would look nice.

[The Philly Fanatic]

I love the old retro logo, it's one of my favorites by far just due to it's effective simplicity. But to be honest, I think they should just leave it alone, they would probably make some new lame version that would never match the quality of the old one. Plus the old logo was very fitting to those colors I always thought, the new colors just wouldn't look right to me.

Colors need updating but old is cool. New one looks sharp too though.

The old one is a classic, they never should have messed with that. Not like a switch back would help the team though.
