My wife and kids love the cream home and gray aways. They are indifferent to the pinstripes and the blue aways. Very happy the old logo is back. It should have never left.

 

I like the pinstripes myself, but I really don't care. It's a uniform. Put a good product on the field, and I'm happy. Heck ... I'll be happy even if the on-field product isn't great. Because it's baseball, and I love it.

In all honesty I am really glad they tweaked these logos whether they look better or not. They don’t need to rehash an old logo with new colors. Give the time period it’s own identity...let the 80s be the 80s. Though much like the “official” logo I don’t exactly understand where the barrelman comes into play. He isn’t on a single jersey or hat. Again...a bit weird. They could have released him in 3-5 years on an actual retro alternate type deal. Updating him just for merchandise seems unneeded.

 

Maybe just me, but that navy looks like a college uni. Not bad, just seems college-like. As one may know I pooped on the gray unis of old, but I like these. The coloring on the jersey (namely the yellow) makes it pop and not be so bland.

 

How I would rank them:

 

1) Pinstripe

 

2) Gray

3) Navy

4) Cream

The blue jerseys are the only ones that aren't hot trash.

You and I had the complete opposite reaction. Not a fan of the Navy uniform, everything else is fine.

 

I loved the cursive Milwaukee from the 80’s and early 90’s, but don’t like the way it looks in yellow on the Navy jersey.

 

I actually like the baseball with barley seams.

 

Hate the Nike logo on MLB uniforms.

Not just “at Night” anymore.

I’m very pleased overall. I may be the exception but I love the home jersey without the pinstripes. My favorite by far. I would like to see cursive on the main road jersey and will admit, something seems a bit off about the road alternate. Subtle changes will likely be made over time to get things further dialed in. I also happen to think the Wisconsin logo is great. All things considered, I am thrilled with the new look.

 

I am also super excited about the thought of the Brewers sporting their 1994 jerseys on turn back the clock night!

 

To me, I’ll look back fondly on the years with the “M” over the barley. It will represent a period where I enjoyed competitive Brewer baseball and cheered some deep playoff runs. Good times.

The only things I don't like are the grey uniforms (but that's not specific to this uniform, I just dislike grey uniforms in general) and the Nike swoosh so prominently displayed on the front of the jersey. As far as I'm concerned, they could have put the swoosh right in the butt-crack of the pants where it would have been perfect.

 

At first I really disliked the state logo, but after looking at it more....it does seem to have a good old-school feel to it and it's already grown on me.

 

All in all I really like this lineup of stuff.

It's weird, but I've liked all their uniforms. The 1990s I liked because both navy and dark green were included. I liked the later refresh. I've really liked the script M. As Beast said, I'm going to fondly remember the success of the last dozen or so years. This new uniform will work if the on-field success continues. This wasn't simply a money-grab, as the Brewers are so well represented in Wisconsin wardrobes. Living and teaching in AZ has shocked me. If I didn't know better, I'd think we have no NBA team, no NFL team, and a minor league baseball team. I probably see more Coyotes apparel than the others, and Dbacks are clearly #2. Wisconsin fans buy so much merchandise.

Can someone explain the Wisconsin shaped one with the bricks in the middle? I feel like I am missing something. Are the bricks supposed to be cheese?

 

That is the one logo that I think is questionable, it just looks awkward.

 

Like the jerseys, but not the blue one.

 

I'd rather they kept the original BiG logo and changed the colors, but like others have said, I'll get used to it.

I won’t rehash my opinion on the new primary logo any more as I’ve rambled enough earlier in this thread. But my thoughts:

 

- My only big gripe is the bridge connecting the m and b. I’ll get over it.

 

- Other updates to the ball in glove are fine, pretty neutral

 

- Bricks in the state of Wisconsin outline and mean face Barrelman were unnecessary changes. Overall a meh, but I’d like them better without them.

 

- Like the barley seams baseball a lot, and nice to have a good secondary logo to put on the sleeve

 

- Home cream, pinstripes, and road greys are excellent. Nod to the past with those blue and yellow striped sleeve cuffs, I’m a fan on the block letters and the colors look great. And I wasn’t originally a fan of the navy and blue, I’ve been a royal blue guy but this combo really looks good.

 

- The navy alternate...not exactly sure why, but I don’t like it. Generally like cursive but it looks a little out of place in this uni set. There a faint bit of light blue in the circle logo, could’ve used that for an alternate? I think that uni will be the first to be tweaked.

 

Overall, I give it a B+. Big upgrade from the generic barley M set IMO.

 

When the logo was leaked a few weeks back I was super annoyed at the 'bridge' connecting the two letters like you mentioned. Then I just told myself it was a lowercase, cursive 'm' and the "bridge" was actually part of the letter and my annoyance disappeared instantly. Now I see it as a lowercase m and b and I like it just fine. Just a thought.

Agree the state logo is ugly but I like everything else. Actually really like the barley ball.

The state logo looks like a pretty similar of the version they had in the '70s. I think it's awful.

 

In my opinion, the M/barley/state logo they just went away from is the best version of that they've ever had.

Thanks.

 

Meh, now I like it even less. I hope that logo disappears over the years. Just not very interesting.
