Dave's Most Hated Logos (Part I)

The Milwaukee Brewers M-Wisconsin-Barley logo

Indeed there are worse logos out there, both past and present. See any Devil Rays/Rays, the 2003 Blue Jays or the Montgomery Biscuits logos below for example. But there is probably no logo in all of sports I despise more than this abomination. Simply put, I hate it and it sucks. The Curse?
Since the super awesome "ball in mitt" logo was abandoned in 1993, the Brewers have royally sucked, worse than the Kansas City Royals. They haven't finished higher than 2nd (in 2007) and were a massive 41 games out in 2002 and 37 1/2 in 2004 and 19 in 2005. Hey, Milwaukee, there is a silver lining in that typhoon cloud! Keep that chin up!

Miller Park looks like the mother ship twin of Chicago's renovated Soldier Field and it leaks like a sieve. The only redeeming thing is the sausage race and "Roll Out the Barrel." The franchise has been virtually talent free save for Robin Yount, Fernando Vina, Mike Methany, Ray "Burger" King, Carlos Lee, Prince Fielder and Ben Sheets and most of those are gimmes. Wait! Don't forget about Royce Clayton, Jeromy Burnitz and Jeff Suppan.

To top it off, someone in the marketing department thought it would be wise to toss the "ball in mitt" aside for something more modern...the M-Wisconsin-Barley logo. Besides being too busy and outright gross, it's an embarrassing cliche of a logo minus any creativity. Hmmm, let's get rid of the cool old school logo we've had for 15 years and embrace the outline of the state and a sprig of barley because beer is awesome and we are still mourning the loss to the superior beer-brewing city in the 1982 World Series.

It's essentially blue and gold vomit with an "M" stamped on it. It needs to go the way of the dodo. That's it. I'm done.
