From the Brewers' web site:
One of the most recognizable logos in sports, the Milwaukee Brewers yellow and blue mitt logo was introduced in Winter 1977 and adorned Brewers caps for the 16 greatest seasons in club history. The logo was selected among more than 2,000 entries from both professional and amateur designers in an open contest in October and November 1977. Tom Meindel, an Art History student at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, designed the logo and earned the $2,000 first prize. The logo combines the lower case letters "m" and "b", the club's initials, to form a baseball glove.
It wasn't until we moved to the Milwaukee area that I noticed the lowercase "m" and "b" in the logo. And although it's much too early to tell, the Brewers may be bringing back this logo.
In my trip to Milwaukee this past weekend, I saw a lot of that logo around. The gift shop had a good amount of merchandise with it, and I have always like it. I hope it makes a triumphant return!
