Milwaukee Brewers Caps History


The Seattle Pilots relocated to Milwaukee suddenly in the spring of 1970. The team carried over the Pilot's color scheme and the jerseys had a very similar look.

1970-73

The "S" is replaced with an "M" and the wheat stalks are removed from the cap.The same Pilots jerseys are used with the Brewers name in 1970. The home jersey is redesigned in 1971, then both jerseys change in 1972.
