The 2018 MLB Tiebreaker Logos
Every year I get a look at the entire Major League Baseball Postseason logo collection and every year I just skip right past a few pages in there… Why? They’re Tiebreaker logos. A series of logos which will almost certainly be tossed aside, never to be seen by the light

Brewers Mix Modern with Retro, Unveil New Uniform
The famous “ball-and-glove” logo will be worn more often by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2016 than in any other year since it was replaced in 1994. That alone is reason enough to be happy. Today the Brewers unveiled their brand new alternate uniform, as the headline suggests it’s a mix
Brewers Botch Spelling on Throwback Jersey
With their 12th different jersey of the 2013 season you’d think the Milwaukee Brewers would know the proper spelling of their name by now, but on Saturday Brewers manager Ron Roenicke was given one in which Milwaukee was spelt slightly incorrect. See the photo above for the dyslexic mistake. The
