Richfield Resident's Design Wins Milwaukee Brewers 'YOUniform' Contest

Richfield resident Ben Peters was recently announced as the winner of the Milwaukee Brewers' Design a YOUniform Contest.

As previously reported by Patch, nearly 700 entries were submitted and a panel of judges narrowed the designs down to three finalists, including Peters' design. The designs of Ron Verrecchio of Catonsville, MD and Nicholas Fout of Madison, WI were the other two finalists.

The winning design was chosen by fans and Peters was announced as the winner in late January. Peters got to go Milwaukee's spring training game on March 22 against the Cubs where the uniforms were worn. The uniforms were also worn March 30 when the Brewers took on the Chicago White Sox.

In an interview with SportsLogo.net, Peters said this about his design:

“I struggled with the design at first but then remembered an old logo from the early 1900′s that I really like and that was the inspiration for the jersey front font.  I wasn’t crazy about my original capital “B” design so I modeled a new one after another early jersey. I liked it a lot better. It seemed more classic and I liked the unique contrast of a slanted “B” with the other upright letters.”
