Page "Milwaukee Brewers" Paragraph 89

The original Brewers uniforms were " hand-me-downs " from the Seattle Pilots.

Since the move to Milwaukee received final approval less than a week before the start of the season, there was no time to order new uniforms.

Selig had originally planned to change the Brewers ' colors to navy and red in honor of the minor league Brewers, but was forced to simply remove the Seattle markings from the Pilots ' blue-and-gold uniforms and sew " BREWERS " on the front.

However, the outline of the Pilots ' logo was clearly visible.

The uniforms had unique striping on the sleeves left over from the Pilots days.

The cap was an updated version of the Milwaukee Braves cap in blue and yellow.

Ultimately, it was decided to keep blue and gold as the team colors, and they have remained so ever since.
