Is the old-school Milwaukee Brewers baseball logo not the greatest logo? It's an M for Milwaukee and a B for Brewers ... in the shape of a mitt. When I was in sixth grade I actually drew this logo on my bedroom wall (the wallpaper was already the 26 MLB teams) because of it's simple elegance. Why the Crew ever dropped the logo is beyond me. Below is information from the team's Web site regarding the logo, its history, and who designed it.
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.
