Retro Unis for the 40th Anniversary of the Brewers First Year In Milwaukee

If there's one thing a professional baseball team loves, it's the chance to wear -- and sell -- uniforms from days of yore as part of an anniversary celebration. Our local nine is no different, so, to commemorate the 40th anniv ... you know what? I'm not typing it again, because it just makes my head hurt more.
So: which unis do you want to see?
The choices:
The 80's home uniforms, with block letters and pinstripes
The 80's powder blue uniforms (it's the same link as the one immediately above)
The 90's pinstriped uniforms, with "Brewers" in script
The circa-1996 uniform, with the interlocking "MB" on the hat
The circa-1998 uniform, with the "M" on the hat (and no alternate road hat with the tealish brim)
The 1999 Turn Ahead the Clock uniforms, sans sleeves but with Barrel Man
EDIT: Or FtJ's badass '70s uniform, complete with shark necklace and muttonchops.
I'm sure I've missed a few, so drop 'em in the comments, if you don't mind.

1998 takes a commanding lead!

Other
I don’t know why we don’t go pre-1978
1.) Cool batting lid.
2.) Nice simple “M” on the hat
3.) Issue each player (except Gregg Zaun) a shark tooth necklace.
4.) Issue each player some pork-chop side burns.
I think these unis are dope.

You've convinced me to vote for 'other'
Also, we’ve seen the ’80s home unis many times over the past couple years and the ’90s unis are just ugly. Although I was strongly tempted to vote for Turn Ahead the Clock.

I don't know if I can change the voting options to include this one
without messing up the votes that have already been cast. Is it OK if I don’t screw around with it?
Explain it to Sixto.

You should be able to add an option without screwing up previous votes cast
I don’t know about deleting an option.
Or, just declare
pre-1978 as the unilateral winner.
Why would anyone want to buy 1990s merch. Makes no sense to me.

Because some of us started going to games sans parents then ...
in our flannel shirts while listening to DMB records and wearing our hemp necklaces. That’s why.
Unfortunately people can't vote again
So you’ll have to do as FtJ says and give the new option at least a 50 vote bonus.
since I already voted for blue unis, I wouldn't be able to vote for the newly added choice, correct?

Why doesn't Zaun get a necklace?
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Doesn't need one. His teeth are already made out of shark.

I figured it would be a safety hazard.
He doesn’t seem like the kind of guy you give shark necklaces to.

I wanted to vote for like 3
But I think my profile image pigeonholes me into the 96ers.

Where are the 70s uniforms?
I wish someone would have thought of that, and mentioned in the comments portion of this article

i'm on board with 1970
if it’s commemorating the first season in milwaukee, then doesn’t it make sense to wear uniforms from that season?

If Davis starts the retro 00's game, does he get to wear YoGa's #?

I, for one, love the ones I saw in my first ever baseball game:
1990’s script looked cool, even though I do love the throwbacks we did in ‘07 for the 1982 team, and our retro alternate. Case and point, if it has the ball and glove, it’s gold. So much so I proposed a retro-mod idea to Brewers Marketing Director Kathy Schwab a few months back, when she came to my college. I think it could work with a few of the logos from Brewers past.
PensBurgh penalty - Lavender - 2 Minutes for Not Being Gronk Enough.
I've always loved the Wisconsin M with the Milwaukee star.
Those colors look incredible with them.

Those updated colors sure do look snappy

Retro game back in 2007
Someone posted a question on Uni Watch about the Brewers having a true throwback game with pullover retro unis. I found some pictures and posted them on Uni Watch. I wish those were the unis the Crew used to throw back.
The powder blues are win.
I can’t believe the Turn Ahead the Clock uni’s are getting votes. I want a RECOUNT! Those uni’s are horrendous!

That is entirely beside the point! :P
