Writing about 20 underrated sports uniforms from college football, NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA. One uniform at a time.
After one season in Seattle as the Pilots, this franchise moved to Milwaukee to become the Brewers and they’ve had nice uniforms for most of their history. The first years were a little basic but an overall solid look and the club embraced the baby blue option early on, too.
The “MB” logo with a baseball inside a glove came in 1978 and is one of the best logos in sports history.
I loved the Brewers uniforms throughout this era and then in 1994 they followed many other sports teams and pivoted to dark navy blue, and even briefly adopted teal as a minor color. Only the most serious baseball nerds remember the teal with Milwaukee. They changed logos, and despite a metallic gold, everything felt really bland even after refreshes in 1997 and 2000. Back in 2020, Milwaukee returned to a more traditional look with the brighter blue and gold colors, brought the old “MB” logo back for good, and it’s been their best decision in decades.
Any of the team’s current uniforms could apply as underrated.

Baseball star.
The home white is a nice mix of modern and traditional. There’s also a home white pinstripe version which harkens back to the Robin Yount era. The blue hat with the yellow front panel is elite. That’s used with the blue alternate uniforms and recently has been used with the road gray uniform, too.
My pick for them is this gray set. I’m a sucker for a nice road MLB uniform and the left arm state patch adds a nice bit of flavor to the set, too. Wearing “Brewers” across the chest is probably more fun but the city name makes it feel more traditional which is fine.
Mil-ee-wauk-ay: Algonquin for “the good land.”
I say it like that 70% of the time.
I was not aware of that.

Did the Brewers go teal, or was it a forest green akin to the Bucks green?
I’ll let the people decide!
This is what I remember: https://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/147796281994/Milwaukee-Brewers-Logo/1994/Primary-Dark-Logo
Hmmm, the trim definitely looks brighter and more teal although this era was almost all navy blue everything so it’s hard to tell. But, many of the accessories (long sleeves especially) the players wore darker green.
I also can’t really find many pics of them in the blue hats with the teal/green brim. This may not have worn them much over those few years?
We’ll just have to contact Greg Vaughn or Jeff Cirillo and ask them what they remember wearing that year.
Boy everything about those are awful, logo included. Navy blue and powder blue are a fantastic combo (Xavier has done it well on occasion going back to my childhood), but this just sucks. The dark blue is too light, and teal is terrible on everything. Glad the Brewers finally got it right again. Agree that they’re one of the best in any sport.
I’ve never paid that much attention, but top marks to the logo designer. That’s super clever!
And Bernie Brewer going down the slide to celebrate the win!
