The Good: When they moved to Milwaukee from Seattle prior to the 1970 season and until they underwent a very 1990s rebranding in 1994 (which on the bright side, used an underappreciated green as a secondary color), the Milwaukee Brewers had one of the simplest uniform sets in the Major Leagues. The glove and ball MB logo used from 1978-93 was so awesomely retro that the team started wearing it again as a regular alternate in 2006.

That said, when the Brewers rebranded again in 2000, they hit the nail on the head when it comes to a modern uniform that still looks classic and traditional. The font is beautiful and even the jersey numbers look good. And as we’ve discussed with the Rangers, Reds and Marlins it can be very tricky to find a perfect set of unique numbers.

While I do wish more teams used green, gold is also an underutilized uniform color and it looks great as an accent to dark navy blue.

The Bad: The biggest drawback for me for the Brewers when it comes to uniform selection is the fact that they wear alternate jerseys much more often than both their traditional home whites and road grays. The navy jerseys don’t look bad, and I actually don’t mind the gold ones either, but Milwaukee is one of the few teams that really did it right in a 2000s rebranding and I’d like to see them show it off a little more in their should-be everyday standard unis.
