There's a reason they called this team the Brewers

Almost missed this. On July 1st, The Milwaukee Brewers will be handing out t-shirts with the old MB glove logo from the golden era of Brewers baseball as well as t-shirts with the current M-barley logo. Fans will get to choose their preference. From OnMilwaukee.com:
But while this is one of the first public acknowledgements of many fans' desire to return to the logo the Brewers sported during their glory years, the team's front office isn't oblivious to a gradual rise in interest.

"I've noticed both in e-mails and in polls that there's a lot of appeal to the old logo," admits [Brewers Executive Vice President of Business Operations Rick] Schlesinger. "It's a topic of fan discussion. It's clear that it's not just a small minority, and it's not just a temporary nostalgia."
Reactionary that I am, I want the Barrelman back.

Bring him back, and bring back the giant beer stein for Bernie Brewer to slide into. Put real beer in the stein this time. Watching this team play, Bernie could use a drink.
