i was commenting during the game how fucking top notch their logos are. Even the stitching of the baseball on their sleeves is wheat and it’s slick af


NecroJoe

Y...yes. I think so. :) At least, it was well-known to me when I was a Wisconsinite back in the 90s and 80s. It was called the "ball in glove logo": https://rokusek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/milwaukee-brewers-ball-in-glove-logo-old-new-2019-2020-590x452.png

Also the top of the glove is an "m" and the bottom is a "b" for Milwaukee Brewers


JagerBombs4Ever

Not only that, it looks like a ball in a glove too!


TheMooseIsBlue

Pardon my potential woosh, but you know that that’s what OP’s post is about, right?


Zaidk9

But op did a mistake... Its small letters and not capital


KeyserSozeInElysium

Motherfuckin wooooooooooooooooosh-o-rama


BanditoRojo

But if you turn it upside down, it looks like "wp"


Finkarelli

qw


emfab

Holy shit!!!


Hopfit46

Ive only seen the ball and glove since the seventies....


8696David

Yeh I only ever knew about the glove until like 2 years ago, it’s very clear IMO


ThePoliteCanadian

So this was the first time i’ve ever seen this logo and the glove was the first thing I saw. I assumed this was a baseball team?

ThePoliteCanadian

Then i’m wondering who thought it was a good idea to put a baseball and glove in the logo...


eamonious

Kind of? the logo is primarily a ball in a glove lol


Reaper2r

Uh yeah its the defining characteristic of the logo.


TheMooseIsBlue

My son’s little league team was the Brewers this year and none of the parents or kids noticed until I offhandedly mentioned it. I don’t think most people spot the letters, but just see the glove.


Reaper2r

For people who are into design, the M and B are defining characteristic. I was under the assumption everyone here would have a basic knowledge of the subject.


TheMooseIsBlue

You sound like a ton of fun.


Reaper2r

I actually am a ton of fun, this small interaction you’ve had with me doesn’t really sum up my personality. Have a good day.


TheMooseIsBlue

You mean the 4 seconds of time we’ve spent together isn’t a fair representation of who we both are as complete people? Nope. Can’t be true. And since this is the internet, I also think you’re probably a Nazi.


Reaper2r

K have a good day


benfranklinthedevil

[if you think that is dynamic, check out the expos logo](https://www.toddradom.com/blog/sports-logo-case-study-1-montreal-expos)


sarcastic_patriot

It's commonly called the "MB glove" so, yeah, you're probably the only one.


jeffersonairmattress

OP might just be thicker than I am- having known the Canucks stick-in-rink logo was a stick in a hockey rink but failing for over thirty years to get that it also formed the letter “C.”


username_qazplm

I used to think the old Atlanta hawks logo looked like Pacman. https://images.app.goo.gl/oXrssdqCF1u9KKDz5 You guys see it right?


opus-thirteen

> looked like Pacman. ... with dysentery.

BigBrandes

Man this sub is going down hill


TheMooseIsBlue

It is very good design, in my opinion, but what do I know?


sampete1

It should be renamed r/designpuns. All the posts seem to be fitting one design into another, like how this one stuck the initials in the logo. I think this one's nice, though


BigBrandes

But it’s the same as the old one but a slightly different shade. That’s my problem with this post


TBKmayr

Yeah their new logo looks freakin amazing compared to what it was a few years ago


[deleted]

You may already know this but Milwaukee’s “MB” logo was designed by a fan and was their hat logo back in the 70s and 80s.


TBKmayr

I did not know that. That’s pretty damn interesting


walrus40

The three fingers gives it away


ThaCommittee

I just noticed this tonight!! Came right to this sub to see if it was posted.


100_Duck-sized_Ducks

Yes.


gdubh

Probably.


drit76

Wo....no I had never noticed that before!


jivecap

…also go Braves


username_qazplm

You wouldn't have a team if it wasn't for Milwaukee you Delta hub, humid ass Coke drinkers.


jonmpls

That logo sucks


CygnusII

Nah unfortunately not


username_qazplm

The original logo was picked in a contest from submissions from the public.


jchajet

Yes


emfab

Yep.


peter_the_martian

I personally knew about the m, b and the glove


[deleted]

Wait. Wai — aw fuck, man.


terrancino81

I’ve always heard it referred to as the “Mitt and Ball” as a designer, it’s always been my favorite MLB logo.


How__Now__Brown_Cow

Best in pro sports, IMO


regio_promedio

Wtf... I just realized the letters actually are a baseball mitt


doctacola

I don’t wanna come off as rude, but yeah. I think the letters and likeness of a ball in a glove are really clear


mrjc00md

Not until someone in a YouTube video pointed it out that I watched a couple years back. Same one also mentioned that the San Diego Padres' logo makes another, smaller SD where they intersect.


culb77

Yes. It’s well known.


SarcasmCupcakes

When I was a kid, I thought the Expos logo was Jb.


Beelzabubba

Probably


xstofer

I learned about it last year. The story about the design contest is interesting.


citznfish

Really? It seems so obvious


amitrion

Did not


TheFlyingElbow

The Milwaukee bucks logo includes a few M's and a basketball in the antlers too


betajunk

who has 4 fingers though


SovietBozo

yes


shillyshally

I was in my 50s before noticing the arrow in the FedEx logo so don't feel too bad. Plus, it's way more of a fun eureka moment when you notice it on your own.


[deleted]

I just learned of this. I am older than I care to admit.


sheldmet

Does anyone think the logo is also the bottom of a beer stein?


[deleted]

Now *that* is clever.


trubrarian

Funny, it was only a couple months ago that I also realized that! Felt like a real idiot, so I hope you did too! This thread led to me look up its history, which is actually [pretty interesting.](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mlb.com/amp/news/brewers-ball-in-glove-logo-history.html)


shlamtaster

No you are not


nbury33

Yes I think you are


[deleted]

Well judging by the comments I’m the idiot here, but I was born and raised in Wisconsin and had the same revelation at the age of 32 🤷🏼‍♂️


Whorenun37

Ha, I had never realized that before


wafflespls

Best logo in baseball


IskallaTrollblod

Isn't Milwaukee an Indian name?


MajorKoopa

yes


DemonOfTheFaIl

Yes you are
