What Makes This Logo Great? The Story Behind the Milwaukee Brewers' Classic 'Ball In Glove' Logo
In this All Sports History video, we'll take a look back to the late 1970's when the Milwaukee Brewers in one of the greatest sports moments of all time, introduced the iconic “Ball-In-Glove” logo. The design quickly became a modern classic and a symbol for the Brewers, the community, and baseball fans alike. So why after almost two decades was the logo replaced, and why did it take the team so long to bring the logo back? In today’s video we’ll take a look back at how the legendary Milwaukee Brewers logo came to be and why it has remained so popular to this day.
What this "Milwaukee Brewers documentary" video includes:
The Milwaukee Brewers history actually begins in Seattle, when in 1969 Major League Baseball expanded and added four new teams to the league. The San Diego Padres and Montreal Expos joined the National League, while the Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots joined the American League. After only one season, the Seattle Pilots found themselves in deep financial trouble and were heading for bankruptcy. Immediately following the conclusion of their first season, Pilots owner Dewy Soriano met with car salesman and former Milwaukee Braves minority owner Bud Selig about selling the team to Selig. Both sides met over the course of several weeks, and during game one of the 1969 World Series, the two men agreed on a deal for $10.8 million dollars.
On April 1, 1970, the Seattle Pilots officially relocated to Milwaukee and changed their name to the Brewers. The team decided on the name “Brewers” as a homage to the defunct minor league baseball team, the Milwaukee Brewers. Originally, Bud Selig wanted the Brewers to wear blue and red Milwaukee Brewers jerseys, much like the Braves did when they were in Milwaukee. But due to the time constraints, the Brewers were forced to use the same blue and gold jerseys that the Pilots wore the season before (just with updated naming). As for the logo, the Brewers opted for a simple “M” logo on their caps, which was also a nod to the block M logo that the Milwaukee Braves used. During this time, the Brewers also introduced the “Barrel man” logo which was inspired by a similar Barrel man logo that the minor league Brewers had also used. These logos would remain as the primary branding for the Brewers for eight seasons.
By the late 1970’s, the Brewers were looking to update their branding and phase out their older logos. During this time, the team also held a design contest for a new logo. A college student named Tom Meindel submitted what would become the winning sports logo design. In Meindel’s original concept, the now iconic, “Ball-In-Glove'' logo had brown and yellow colors and featured hidden elements. The fingers on the baseball glove portion of the logo, when isolated, makes an “M” shape for Milwaukee. The thumb and pocket area of the glove form the letter “B” for Brewers, with a baseball in the middle. When all put together, it forms the letters “M-B” for Milwaukee Brewers. The new branding proved to be a hit, and the Brewers also improved their play on the field. They finished the 1978 season with a 93-69 record, which earned Bud Selig the MLB executive of the year award. The Brewers new found success would carry on into the following seasons with Milwaukee Brewers playoffs appearances. The team clinching the 1982 ALCS, earning the first ever Milwaukee Brewers World Series appearance. With that, the club continued to use the Ball-In-Glove logo for the rest of the 1980’s and into the early 1990’s highlighting some of the brewers best moments.
Despite the Milwaukee Brewers highlights of the 80's, a new logo in 1994 for the 25th anniversary of the team. They'd used it for the rest of the 1990’s, until the year 2000, when they introduced an updated logo to mark the final season of the club playing at Milwaukee Brewers Stadium (County Stadium). The new logo featured the word “Brewers” in front of a baseball, with two stems of barley underneath (as barley being a key ingredient to beer making). The team would use this logo, and a simplified letter “M” version of it introduced in 2017, during most of the Milwaukee Brewers Ryan Braun era. As with the 25th anniversary, the team wanted to celebrate the major milestone of 50 years in Milwaukee by rebranding with new logos. A new design was introduced that updated the classic "Ball-In-Glove" look, that thrilled Brewers fans. In 2011, Bleacher Report ranked the 50 best baseball logos of all time and placed the Brewers’ Ball-In-Glove logo number 8 on their list, while surprisingly placing the Barrel man logo at number 2.
So what did you guys think about the Brewers logo ranked number 8 on BR's all time baseball logos list? Would you place it higher or lower on the list? Let me know in the comments below!

In the late 1950’s, Bud Adams partnered with Lamar Hunt to establish the American Football League, which would challenge the rival NFL’s dominance and eventually spawn a merger between the two leagues. With that, Bud Adams legacy was cemented as an early founder who helped shape the NFL as we know it today. So why after so many years is Bud Adams not a member of the Pro Football Hall Of Fame. I...

    let's not forget that moving to the olympic stadium killed the expos long before the 1994 lockout ever did. it hamstrung the franchise and guaranteed they would always struggle to attract fans because it had no atmosphere unless it was at least 70% full. I went to the Grey Cup there in 2001, as well as a couple sold-out Alouettes playoff games in the following years and it was great, but watching baseball there absolutely sucked.

    Forgot to add that Bird SINGLE HANDEDLY was responsible for the biggest turnaround ever in the NBA at that time. They won like 29 games the year before he got there and won 61 games with him as a ROOKIE. THAT'S Why he won ROY. His stats were better but he also made his team WAY better than it was without him.

    Great piece. I was born in 1970, started playing hockey at age 6, and used to scream Brass Bonanza in the shower as a kid. Favorite memory is Gordie Howe signing my stick when I was 7. The move was a crushing blow. I had just been able to afford a share of season tickets that last year. Stopped watching hockey for a long time.

    I grew up in Connecticut and often went to the Hartford Civic Center with many neighborhood friends to watch the Whalers play. It was a lot of fun and I got a lot of Autographs from Gordie Howe and his sons Mark and Marty, Ric Ley, and so on. Around 30 in total and I have them hidden away. I have 6 New England and Hartford Whalers yearbooks still. Great memories from the 70's and 80's. I now live in Raleigh North Carolina and go to a few games with my old shirts and hats. I miss those days a lot.

    Has to be mentioned!! I played on console when it first came out like a lot of us did. Loved it. Fast forward to 2010 when I stumbled across online tsb leagues! Amazing. Able to compete online against others in leagues where you draft your team, play a season, earn performance gains based on in season stats, have your team age/retire.... then keep going season after season. Favorite leagues were HSTL (high speed tecmo league), WTF (world tecmo federation), and GTFO. GTFO is alive and well now and includes an initial draft of players from the 72, 73, and 74 NFL seasons. Seasons are played up thru the 2010 NFL season with a rookie draft each off-season that includes the actual rookie draft class for that season. Off-seasons also include players earning performance gains based on how they performed that season (example: bump your rb's max speed from 50ms to 56ms!) as well as an aging/retirement ceremony where your old guys get.... well, old. Commination is done with discord and there's a website for uploading games, tracking stats, managing your offseason, and doing all things league related. Anyway, I haven't done a live tourney yet, but I hear they're a blast, but I did find online tecmo leagues amazing! GTFO! Shake and Bake!

    The modern line change was invented by Pittsburgh Pirates coach/player Odie Cleghorn. During the 1925-26 season, he created the idea of rotating 3 sets of lines. Before this, players would only rest when needed. He also came up with the idea of changing lines on the fly rather than waiting for whistles.

    So I have a pretty parallel connection here. My family is from upstate NY. I was born in Rochester, and my father was a HUGE basketball fan. We moved to San Diego in the mid-seventies, and my dad jumped on the opportunity to have season tickets for the Clippers. I lucked out and became a ball boy for the first three years of the Clippers existence in SD. Talk about joy and pain. My dad loved every second of NBA action in San Diego. When Sterling moved them to LA (and ripped off the Laker logo the year before) it completely broke my dad's heart. I was pissed too. I'll always feel something special for the Clippers, but nothing can beat the days when San Diego was home. Great video!

    This discussion of 1995 and Art Modells history is one I am very passionate about. Ive read likely EVERY article or documentary on the Browns move to Baltimore. One overlying reallity is that Fan support had NOTHING to do with the move to Baltimore! I'm 64 and attended the 1964 championship game and my father attended the first preseason and regular season games the Browns played on August 30th and September 6th 1946 so trust me that Iv'e bled Orange and Brown all my life! I'm so tired of hearing from fans and media outlets that Art Modells investments had sole reason for the move. That simply is not true! At the beginning of the 90's Cleveland Municipal stadium was a dump!!! I spent many hours there and know from personal experience! Art modell invested 10 million dollars of his own money upgrading the stadium and asked the city to help. He was flatly turned down and 2 bond issues to help failed miserably! THEN the city found the money to build a brand new Baseball park and Basketball arena which opened in 1993. Art didn't ask for a new stadium, he only wanted Suites to bolster revenue as were in nearly every stadium in the country! This was not a huge ask in my opinion! OK so now I'll explain why im so passionate about this subject! I was the First Executive Chef at Ravens Stadium at Camden Yard in 1998 and met and spoke with Art many times and for a few moments about this very subject and came to understand his perspective somewhat. To make a long story short I met my wife while opening this stadium and after getting the stadium through it's opening I moved to Louisville and have been here for 25 years and weve raised amazing twin sons. I understand how Browns fans felt at the time because i shared their disappointment and anger but came to research and understand why it happened. I wouldn't have the wonderful family I have if Art remained in Cleveland So my perspective differs from most. That said, we are here now and things are looking up and I'm right here still a lifelong Browns fan that has raised two more. GO BROWNS!!!
