@@AllSportsHistory I'll be honest, I love many of the pro-league logos of the 90s- the Broncos, Patriots, Eagles, Seahawks form of aggression built from the basis of the previous franchise logo.
New York sports fan here... During the 1975 World Series, I fell in love with Fenway Park and its uniqueness. At first I thought that during the new ballpark craze, it was going to be replaced, but the Red Sox ownership did the best thing that was fortunately repeated in Chicago, in not tearing down the original park, but restoring it in such a way that most people wouldn't know. Kudos to the mastermind of renovations of Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, for keeping these true jewels of baseball architecture alive and well. Too bad they couldn't save the original Yankee Stadium and Tiger Stadium in the same way.
As a graphic artist, I’ve always loved this logo design. It’s definitely one of the best logos in the MLB. And I’m not a Brewer’s fan necessarily, but I would like to see them finally win a championship.
The ball in the mitt logo is without a doubt, the best Milwaukee Brewers logo but that Bleacher Report 50 greatest baseball logos of all time? It’s pretty infamous for being an overall terrible group of selections. They have at #1 the worst Oakland A’s logo in the ball clubs history. It’s also inaccurate as to when the logos were used. And forget about the short paragraphs explaining each logo, they read like one of the reporters brought it home and let his nine-year-old write it up.
If you're a brewer of whatever beverage you make. I really think a ball inside a glove doesn't make for a good Logo as far as representation of a team🤷♂️
That’s a fair point, but a lot of teams logos aren’t representative of the team name and lean more on representing the city instead. Giants, padres, Rockies, dodgers, Yankees, Mets, etc.
The reason why this logo is so beloved is the exact reason why I loved it growing up - you could draw it, essentially from memory, and easily. You don't want to know how many things I doodled the Brewer logo on growing up... I admit that I never really cared for the "Germanic Lettering" of the 1990's, and I always thought the 2000 rebrand was essentially a kow-tow to Miller Brewing. The Ball-In-Glove is, IMNSHO, the best logo in baseball.
It's a great logo. I'm generally not a fan of letters comprising a logo, but this case transcends that. The only other exceptions I can think of are The Hartford Whalers, The Montreal Expos, and the Green Bay Packers. Other than that, letters are unimaginative for the most part.
I agree. I used to run a fantasy football league called the Couch Potato Football League; all team names had to be potato themed. I designed helmets and uniforms for the league. Most teams were named after potato dishes and I just used monograms for logos. The potato does not really lend itself graphically.
When I was a less-than-observant kid, I did not care for this logo as I thought it was too kid-focused and cartoonish. When I got older and finally saw the MB, I realized it was the best logo in pro sports.
The "m" over "b" logo with baseball in "mitt" is the sh*t. Not sure who ranked 7 spots ahead of them, but how creative is the "m over b" logo? I watch all three of our major sports (and, yes [admittedly], MLS and WNBA sometimes). Who has this creatively of this logo???
The salary cap is what has made the NFL the Great viewing phenomenon that it is. People forget how uncompetitive football was up till the late .90s This is also the reason MLB is failing miserable year after year. No one wants to see a slew of top-notch prospects developed by a team only to have them jump to the Yankees Dodgers or other big market teams year after year after year.
At the time the team felt it was dated and too “70’s” looking. For the 25th anniversary they wanted to introduce a new logo that reflected the taste of the mid 1990’s, hence the darker, muted colors and the addition of green.
As a Canadian who really does not follow baseball but loves Logos. My top 3 have to be 1. BlueJays (not because I am Canadian but just because it is good!), 2. NY Yankees. (So Iconic) 3. Milwaukee Brewers (Because it is BASEBALL!!!!). These are the top 3 logos in the MLB I can think of.
As a kid I thought it was lame to use a baseball glove. I was an adult before I really saw what it was and now I think it's one of the best logos in sports!!
Yeah I remember thinking it was odd to see a baseball glove as a logo when I was a kid. Once I realized how it has this duel purpose of symbolizing the “MB” but also is a baseball glove, I absolutely loved it.
I am a Brewers fan from Upstate NY. I have the Brewers mit cap and love it, but for some reason, I prefer to wear the "wheat" cap. They are hard to find but bought multiple ones. Nonetheless, the Brewers have always had a great look.
I mentioned Bleacher Report in the video ranking it number 8 on their all time list, BUT you don’t have to like it.. that’s ok. I’m curious what you have against it?
So the original artist didn't get any royalties for his iconic logo. Glad he got paid fairly and what bragging rights the guy had. I would be honored if a team used my idea.
Yeah, I think the artist mentioned he was disappointed when the team moved away from the logo in the mid '90s, but was happy it would live on in throwback uniforms, and other memorabilia. Sadly, he passed away before the Brewers brought it back in 2020.
@@AllSportsHistory When the Boston Patriots started in 1960, their helmet logo was a simple tri-corner hat with the player's number beneath it. Worcester Telegram cartoonist Phil Bissell created the original "Pat Patriot" logo unintentionally. He simply drew a picture of a Minuteman hiking a football, to go along with an article about the new team. Billy Sullivan liked it so much that he made it the official Patriots logo. Bissell never got any royalties for it, and I think he never asked for any. The real reason why the Patriots don't use it anymore is because Pat Patriot is too colorful. It was the most ornate logo in the NFL, but it was very difficult to reproduce. Sullivan was toying with ideas and even came up with a new logo around 1979. But a fan poll voted overwhelmingly in favor of Pat Patriot. The "Flying Elvis" logo was created in 1992, because then-owner James Orthwein wanted to move the team to St. Louis and re-name it the "Spirits" (after Charles Lindbergh's airplane). That's why the logo is a sort of "ghostly" image. Fortunately, Bob Kraft owned Foxboro Stadium and refused to let the Patriots out of the lease. Orthwein finally caved in and sold the team to Kraft for a then-record price of $200 million. (Kraft admitted he "overpaid" for the team. Can you believe that?)
@@ianlalonde5373 So did the Philadelphia Flyers. One of the prizes for winning the contest was a 21" color TV set. The PC monitor I watched this video on is 21".
Thus is arguably rhe best logo un MLB history. Theres no debate 🎤 Anyways. Heres a few suggestions for a few videos. Why is the Manning family so important in the NFL? What happened to the Tampa Bay Mutiny? What happened to the San Diego Rockets? Why are rhe Dallas Cowboys so valuable? The story behind former Islanders GM Bill Torrey? Why is PNC Park so special?
The MB ball and glove logo is simplistic, in a good way and feels iconic. I like that logo. I think the interlocking MB is the worst, it just looks too busy.. The M with the barley or grain is a great logo as well.
Hey everyone! What did you guys think about Bleacher Report ranking the Brewers logo as number 8 on their all time baseball logos list? Would you place it higher or lower on the list? Let me know in the comments below!
@@White_sox_fan Yeah it's not a bad logo, I just really like the clever incorporation of the MB into the baseball glove design. It's also a very clean and easily recognizable symbol, which makes it great in my opinion.
