You probably voted and have been waiting to hear news on the winner.  Just moments ago at “Brewers On Deck,” Ben Peters, of Richfield, Minnesota was announced as the winner of the Brewers Design a YOUniform contest.  Peters’ design will be worn by the Brewers in exhibition games on March 22 in Phoenix at Maryvale Baseball Park and on March 30 in Milwaukee at Miller Park.

This was the uniform design I actually voted for so I am glad it won. Secondly, I love Barrelman and it's so sad it's only sold at Milwaukee. I want the cap but it's $45 right now. Crazy, but I might consider getting it since it's a rare piece of history. The font is also fantastic (despite the minor change) and this might be something I think the team should wear more than a couple times.

Brewers Go For the Gold and Announce Gold Alternate Jersey

The Brewers go for the gold every season. Each of the 30 flags atop the Commissioner's Trophy awarded to the World Series Champion are adorned in gold and it is the Brewers goal to one day have that trophy at Miller Park. With that in mind, the Brewers will be "going for gold" in a new gold alternate jersey next season.

I don't know if they needed this. It looks nice, but they already have their home white, road gray and two different navy tops. Add on to their throwback set and two different spring training jerseys, this is overkill.

After receiving nearly 700 submissions for the Brewers "Design a YOUniform" contest that began last fall, the Brewers today announced the three* finalists.  Today, a fan vote begins at Brewers.com/uniform where fans can have their say in the contest.

It was interesting to see the submitted designs.  Some had a Milwaukee flair, some had a retro taste, some went back to the Milwaukee Braves roots, some touched on Arizona and Maryvale.

I really like the three designs they've selected as finalists. But for me, the return of Barrelman is the way to go. He's not used as much in the current design and as for a one-time deal, I can dig this.

Some submitted entries in the Brewers’ uniform design contest

This design might work.

The Brewers are holding a design contest where fans can submit jersey ideas for a future Spring Training game.

Here are some of the entries that have come in that the Brewers are sharing. Some are pretty unique ideas but I don’t know if I like any of them.

So I have been pretty excited about this promotion for some time now.  It's really been hard to keep this one a secret.  I'm a self-proclaimed sports uniform/jersey/logo nerd.  It's OK, I'm cool with it. If you are like me, or have a knack for creativity and design or just want to put your mark on Brewers baseball, then this contest is for you.

Brewers want you to design a uniform for them to wear during Spring Training. Pretty cool promotion.

Brewers and Diamondbacks to wear flag-themed jerseys for Italian Day

Both the Milwaukee Brewers and Arizona Diamondbacks will be celebrating Italian Day when they face each on July 1st. To celebrate, both will be wearing Italian-themed jersey.

Courtesy of Uni-Watch, here are the two jerseys:

This is a very interesting concept for both teams. The jerseys take from the color of the Italian flag, which makes sense. (And I wonder if the caps will be the same.) I wonder if these are just for batting practice or for the actual game.

If Bob Uecker gets a statue, I think Bill King should get one too

Legendary broadcaster Bob Uecker is going to be honored this season with a statue outside Miller Park. It is a well-deserved honor for an amazing talent.

It got me thinking about the Bay Area and what broadcaster deserves such an award. The only one that I feel is worthy of it is Bill King. He was the voice of Bay Area sports, covering the Warriors, Raiders and A’s.

For me, he was the voice of the A’s and his description of plays on air was unmatched. Even before my time, if you look back at all the great Raiders clips from the 1970s, you can hear King’s great voice calling plays like the “Holly Roller” and “Sea of Hands”.

A statue of King should be placed right in between Oracle Arena and the Oakland Coliseum. I may be biased, but I think it would be perfect. HOLY TOLEDO!

Bill King deserves a statue.

Ryan Braun is technically clean, but we won’t see it that way anymore

Ryan Braun is clean, but his image is tainted.

With Ryan Braun’s successful appeal of the 50-game suspension, Braun will not miss any time during the regular season and all his achievements from the 2011 season, including his MVP award, are not tainted.

But his image is now.

Because of the snafu of the testing process, the technicality of the entire ordeal has now put a cloud of Bruan’s image. And with the harsh criticism that previous athletes related to PEDs have received, Braun is in for the same criticism for the remainder of his career.

It’s still unknown whether or not the delayed delivery made any real difference in the high testosterone levels found in Braun’s sample. But because of the error in the entire process, Braun is clean from the accusation but isn’t clean in the eyes of Major League Baseball.
