OT: Block M on pitcher's mound at Brewer's stadium?
Watching the Phillies-Brewers game on national TV...the pitcher's mound has a beautiful maize and blue block M on it. It sort of matcches the Brewers colors, but not the font. Anybody know if it's for the Brewers? Or is there a Michigan connection?
Looks like it's a retro uniform or something. Looks awfully close to Michigan's block M to me though.

...my son was watching that game and pointed it out to me. Then he said, "You should post something on mgoblog about this." Smart kid.
where the Strip of field turf ended up! Brew crew just grabbed some carma.
Last night they (and the Phillies) wore their retro uniforms, which had that particular M on the cap, and they put that M on the back of the mound as well.
Must say that I like it!
...I figured they weren't having Michigan day in Wisconsin.
You're kidding, right??
It's not like they are the Milwaukee Brewers or anything...
And the back has the big block M... i used to wear it to the football games Freshman year. I also had this Milwaukee brewers Jacket that also had a block M.
I saw it too - looks almost identical to our M.
I was watching Sportscenter at my friend's house and saw this. Everyone figured it was Milwaukee, but I knew that an explanation would await me on MGoBlog when I got home.
I had a Henry Aaron card when I was a 7 yr old with that M cap on while he was with the Brewers late in his career. I was convinced for 24 hours that Don Canham had made one of the best trades in Big Ten history. Ricky Leach wouldve had a lot more pitches to hit that's for sure!
