Which of these fan-designed uniforms should the Brewers wear during Spring Training?

Two months ago, the Brewers announced a contest calling for fans to submit their own uniform designs. Three finalists have now been chosen, and while my quest for an MLB team to wear a jersey with a non-Latin script will remain unachieved, all are strong competitors. Let's take a look:

First, we have this submission from Nicholas Fouts of Madison, Wis. I'm predisposed to like anything from the home of my alma mater, so will this be any different?

Like many of the submissions, this one mashes up elements from different eras. The Brewers have rarely used wordmarks with tails sweeping underneath "Milwaukee," but they did from 1990-93. The cap logo is one that the team used (though not on caps) in the '70s. I like utilizing the state of Wisconsin's outline, though I prefer the more precise one logo the team uses today more. I'm a little surprised that this is the only non-white or off-white jersey of the three. And while I love bright jerseys like this, I'm not a fan of the navy side paneling and neck detailing.

Next up is the submission from Ben Peters of Richfield, Minn.:

What I love about this one is that it created a new wordmark instead of reaching into past designs. Don't get me wrong: I like retro stuff as much as the next obsessive sports fan. But I'm also a modernist at heart, and I love when uniform designers attempt to not only honor existing history but create new history too. The wordmark (which is somewhat reminiscent of that on the Buffalo Sabres' alternate) and number font have an old-timey quality that seems appropriate for a team with this guy as their mascot. I'm a bit less bullish about the hat insignia, which beheads Milwaukee's "barrelman" logo.

Finally we have the submission from Ron Verrecchio of Catonsville, Md.:

I'll be honest: This is the one that looks most like what an MLB team would actually wear. Uncoincidentally it's also the most conservative of the three. Most Brewers fans that I know can't get enough of the ball-in-glove logo, so why not have it both on the hat and the jersey? The hat logo-on-left-breast template has been gaining popularity recently; teams like the Athletics, Giants, Nationals, Padres and Pirates have all added the look to their identities within the past couple of years. And there's another very subtle touch to this uniform: the yellow stripes on the socks, which harkens back to the sleeve piping from the Brewers' one season as the Seattle Pilots. I basically have nothing bad to say about this uniform ... other than that it's the least risky of the three.

Alright, you've heard my thoughts on the entrants. Let us know what yours are. Or better yet, head here to vote on which design the Brewers will wear for two Spring Training games in March. The winner will be announced on January 27.
