Brewers Primary Logo

The Milwaukee Brewers have a long and storied history in Major League Baseball, which is reflected in the evolution of their primary logo over time. The original logo used by the team when they first entered the league as an expansion franchise in 1969 was a simple letter ‘M’ with two lines extending outward from it to form an abstract baseball shape. This design was intended to represent both Milwaukee and baseball, but it wasn’t particularly popular or memorable for fans.

In 1978, designer Tom Meindel created a new look for the Brewers that featured a glove-wielding mitt with its fingers forming an “M” around the home plate - this became known as "Glove M". It quickly gained popularity among fans due to its unique design and playful nature; however, after 20 years of use, it began to feel dated so changes were made in 1998 when another designer updated Glove M into what is now known as Ball & Glove Logo. This version features more vibrant colors such as navy blue, royal blue, gold, white and black. It also has three stars on either side of the home plate which are meant to symbolize Wisconsin's three major professional sports teams: The Packers (NFL), Bucks (NBA) & Brewers (MLB).

Today this Ball & Glove Logo remains unchanged since 1998 but continues to be one of the most recognizable symbols not only within MLB but all professional sports leagues worldwide due to its timeless appeal across generations. From humble beginnings back in 1969 until the present day –the Milwaukee Brewer Primary Logos story has been one full of twists and turns yet still manages to capture the same spirit that embodied the city itself: hardworking resilient people who never give up no matter how tough the odds may seem!

The finished product, which took the field for opening day 1994, incorporated the letters “m” and “b” over crossed baseball bats and a background representing a blue with gold trim baseball diamond.
