Looking back at this list, the NL has outstanding logos. And, the first place design also belongs to an NL team: the Milwaukee Brewers.

If you’ve ever been to MIller Park, the fan shops are loaded with gear emblazoned with varieties of logos. The best logo is their brilliantly designed MB baseball mitt.

For a team named for beer makers, the logo designers have done an excellent job keeping beer out of the equation. The latest version of the M with the flourish and the wheat shaft is a contemporary classic. But, the mitt is so cool that the team uses it for special events, except the Mother’s Day hat which includes the M and wheat shaft over a pink background.

The Brewers mitt logo is a throwback to the late 70s and 80s, but it is also a contemporary design that works in 2018. It is fun, creative, and timeless. In that small package, it includes the M and B of the Brewers, a baseball mitt, and a baseball. No other MLB logo includes so much so compactly. It’s a logo design that is featured in graphic design courses because so many elements are included without being gaudy. It’s as classic as the FedEx logo with the subtle arrow in the white space between the E and X.

The mitt looks great in special event iterations, too. The best is the Fourth of July hat. Reviewing the Brew featured the logo back in July. The colors of the logo can easily be changed and it always looks good.

This is the best logo in baseball because it’s fun for kids and classic for adults. There is absolutely no doubt what team is represented. No other team has a logo like it and no other team can.
