===1970–1977===

The first Brewers uniforms were "hand-me-downs" from the Seattle Pilots. Because the move to Milwaukee received final approval less than a week before the start of the season, there was no time to order new uniforms. Selig had originally planned to change the Brewers' colors to navy blue and red in honor of the [[Minor League Baseball|minor league]] [[American Association (20th century)|American Association's]] [[Milwaukee Brewers (American Association)|Milwaukee Brewers]] (and are the colors of the [[Braves]]),<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sabr.org/gamesproj/game/april-7-1970-milwaukee-brewers-make-their-debut-county-stadium|title = April 7, 1970: Milwaukee Brewers make their debut at County Stadium – Society for American Baseball Research}}</ref> but was forced to simply remove the Seattle markings from the Pilots' blue-and-gold uniforms and sew "BREWERS" on the front. However, the outline of the Pilots' logo remained visible. The uniforms had unique striping on the sleeves left over from the Pilots days. The cap was an updated version of the Milwaukee Braves cap: solid blue, with a yellow block "M" on the front. Ultimately, it was decided to keep blue and gold as the team colors, and they have remained so ever since (even though the team darkened the shades of both colors in 1994).

The Brewers finally got their own flannel design in 1971, but only for their home jerseys. This design was essentially the same as the one used in 1970, but with blue and yellow piping on the sleeves and collar. Meanwhile, the road jerseys did not add the trim around the collar and kept the wide-banded striping on the sleeves from the Pilots era. Additionally, player numbers were added to the front of both jerseys for 1971.

In 1972, the Brewers entered the double-knit era with uniforms based upon their flannels: all white with "BREWERS" on the front and blue and yellow trim on the sleeves, neck, waistband and down the side of the pants; the uniform took on the form of a pullover jersey and an elastic waistband. The road uniforms remained blue, although a darker shade than those of 1970 and '71. In 1974, a yellow-paneled cap was added to the road uniforms, and the "sanitation sock" on the road uniforms were also changed from white to yellow. This is the uniform that [[Hank Aaron]] wore with the club in his final seasons and that Robin Yount wore in his first. During this period, the logo of the club was the [[Beer Barrel Man]], which had been used by the previous minor league Brewers since at least the 1940s. The Brewers mascot, [[Bernie Brewer]] (a man with a large yellow mustache wearing a Brewers hat) was introduced in 1973.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/mil/fan_forum/bernie_brewer.jsp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070419181621/http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/mil/fan_forum/bernie_brewer.jsp|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 19, 2007|title=Bernie Brewer|website=MLB.com|access-date=November 23, 2018}}</ref>

===1978–1993===

The Brewers unveiled new uniforms for the 1978 season. The uniforms continued to use the pullover jersey/beltless pants combo, and featured pinstripes with a solid-blue collar and waistband. The road uniforms continued to be powder blue, but for the first time the city name, "Milwaukee", graced the chest in an upward slant in script form (It was the first time "Milwaukee" appeared on any MLB jersey; the [[Braves]] never displayed the city name on their road jerseys during their 13 seasons in the city).

In addition, the Brewers introduced the [[Milwaukee Brewers ball-in-glove logo|ball-in-glove logo]] that contained an "M" and "B" in the shape of a baseball glove. The logo was designed by Tom Meindel, an art history student at the [[University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire]]. The home cap was solid blue, and the road cap was blue with a yellow front panel. Additionally, their batting helmets had a white front panel. The club wore these uniforms in their pennant-winning season of 1982. Only minor changes were made until 1990; the color of the road uniforms changed to gray in 1985 while the blue-yellow-blue road cap and white-paneled batting helmets were abandoned at the same time.

In 1990, the Brewers made significant modifications to their uniforms, switching from pullover to button-down jerseys (the last American League team to do so; four National League teams still wore pullovers in 1990). Their individual uniforms showed other changes as well; at home, the blue piping was removed and the block lettered "BREWERS" was changed to a script version with a tail similar to the script used on road uniforms, while those outfits had their piping changed from blue-yellow-blue to blue-yellow. The road jerseys were the first uniforms in franchise history to feature player names on the back, introduced in the first year of this uniform set; names were added to the home jerseys beginning in 1993, the last year of this set.

===1994–1999===
In 1994, to commemorate the Brewers' 25th year in Milwaukee, the team completely redesigned their uniforms. The ball-in-glove logo was removed and replaced with a stylized interlocking "M" and "B" set on a pair of crossed bats and a diamond background. The royal blue changed to navy blue, while the yellow changed to a metallic gold. Forest green was added as a third color. The jerseys swapped pinstripes for retro-themed piping around the collar, buttons, and sleeves, following a trend that was popular in the 1990s. The uniforms' lettering had the same style of letters as the new cap logo with heavily stylized "BREWERS" lettering on the home jerseys and "MILWAUKEE" on the road grays. For the first time, an alternative jersey was introduced. It was navy blue with the home "BREWERS" lettering on the front and featured the Brewers' logo on the lower left side. On all three jerseys, the first and last letters were larger than the rest. The caps featured the interlocking "MB" logo (without the bats or diamond) on both the home and away versions. The home cap was completely navy blue, while the away cap featured a navy blue crown and a forest green bill.

In 1997, the uniforms were slightly modified, with the main logo being removed from the caps and replaced with an "M". All navy caps were worn with both the home and away uniforms; the home hats featured a white "M" and the road caps had a gold "M." The green socks that had previously been worn on the road were changed to navy blue. The blue alternate jersey placed the player's number on the lower left side instead of the logo, and numbers were also added to the lower left side of the white and gray jerseys. Also, all letters were made the same size.

===2000–2019===

Before the 2000 season, to coincide with the anticipated opening of Miller Park, the Brewers changed their uniforms again. The block letters on the front were replaced with "Brewers" in a flowing script, and green was removed as the third color. The cap logo was a script "M", similar in style to the Miller logo, with a head of barley underlining it, symbolizing Milwaukee's beer-making industry. The home uniforms also featured a patch on the left sleeve consisting of the cap logo with a gold outline of the state of Wisconsin behind it, showing the Brewers statewide appeal. The road uniforms were grey and featured the same script "Brewers" on the front, with a simple patch on the left sleeve bearing a script "Milwaukee". There was also an alternate navy blue jersey that had the same features as the home jersey.

The debut of the new uniforms was supposed to coincide with the opening of Miller Park, but a [[Big Blue Crane collapse|crane collapse]] in July 1999 which killed three workers and damaged the incomplete stadium delayed its opening until 2001.

In 2006, the Brewers introduced Retro Sundays, when the Brewers would wear uniforms featuring the "ball-in-glove" logo. The uniforms are similar to the uniforms worn from 1978 to 1989, but with some modern modifications, such as the uniforms having a button-down front instead of being a pullover jersey, displaying players' last names on the backs of the jerseys, and a "ball-in-glove" logo patch on the left sleeve. In 2007, the Retro day was changed from Sunday to Friday, though they may also be worn outside of those days if a [[starting pitcher]] chooses the retro uniforms to wear during his start. In 2010, the Brewers debuted a new alternate road jersey which, like the other alternate jersey, is navy blue, but bears a script "Milwaukee" on the front. In 2013, a gold alternate jersey with "Brewers" on the front was introduced, as well.

During the off-season before the 2013 season, the Brewers allowed fans to design their own Milwaukee Brewers uniforms. Three finalists were chosen, which fans were given the opportunity to vote for their favorite through the Brewers website. The winning uniform was designed by Ben Peters of Richfield, Minnesota, and was worn by the Brewers for two spring training games.<ref>{{cite web|last=McCalvy|first=Adam|title=Finalists announced for designing Brewers uniform|url=http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130115&content_id=40968782&vkey=news_mil&c_id=mil|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130118052253/http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130115&content_id=40968782&vkey=news_mil&c_id=mil|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 18, 2013|work=MLB.com|access-date=January 15, 2013}}</ref>

In 2016, the Brewers replaced their road navy and home gold alternates with a new navy alternate jersey. The uniform is similar to the previous road navy alternate but with yellow replacing gold as the trim color, and is paired with a navy cap featuring the "ball-and-glove" logo. From 2017 to 2019, both alternate navy uniforms were used for both home and away games, and each were worn more often than the traditional white and gray tops.

===2020–present===
On November 18, 2019, the Brewers published "Glove Story",<ref name=" BrewersGloveStory" /> a series of videos and written work showcasing the new branding of the team, with a uniform unveiling event at Miller Park occurring the same evening. The look throws back to past iterations of designs used for the team, with a modernized version of the classic "[[Milwaukee Brewers ball-in-glove logo|ball-in-glove]]" logo being the centerpiece of the new identity. The navy blue from the previous logo and uniform set was retained, but the metallic gold was replaced with mustard gold, and royal blue was returned to the team's color scheme for the first time since 1993.

The set included a cream home uniform with "Brewers" and numbers in stylized block letters (a nod to Milwaukee's "Cream City" nickname), a home alternate pinstriped white uniform which shares the same features as the cream uniforms, a grey road uniform with "Milwaukee" and numbers in stylized block letters, and a road alternate navy uniform with "Milwaukee" in script letters and numbers in stylized block letters. The home sleeve patch features a navy baseball with stylized barley seams, while the road sleeve patch features the gold Wisconsin map with [[Cream City brick]]s and a baseball to represent Milwaukee's location. Initially, the gold-paneled navy cap was only used with the navy alternate uniform whereas the other uniforms were paired with the all-navy cap. However, beginning in 2022, the alternate gold-paneled cap was used exclusively on the road, with the all-navy cap worn only on home games. Both designs have the modernized "ball-in-glove" logo in front.<ref>{{cite news|last=McCalvy|first=Adam|title=Ball-in-glove is back: Brewers unveil new unis |url=https://www.mlb.com/brewers/news/brewers-new-uniforms-2020|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=Brewers.com|date=November 18, 2019|access-date=November 18, 2019}}</ref>

In 2022, the Brewers added a "City Connect" uniform in conjunction with [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]]. The uniform is powder blue with white pants and features the "Brew Crew" nickname in stylized gold letters and navy trim. A stylized baseball shaped like an enclosed grill is emblazoned on the right sleeve. Caps are powder blue with navy brim and features both the "[[Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport|MKE]]" abbreviation in gold and the city's "414" area code in navy.<ref>{{cite web |title=Brewers unveil "Brew Crew" City Connect uniforms|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/brewers-unveil-city-connect-uniforms|work=MLB|department=Milwaukee Brewers|date=June 17, 2022|access-date=June 17, 2022}}</ref>

In 2023, the Brewers added a uniform sponsor in [[Northwestern Mutual]], with the company's logo patch recolored to the Brewers' navy and white. The patch was prominently featured on either sleeve depending on a player's handedness; the other sleeve accommodated the team's "baseball and barley" logo on the home uniforms, and the "Wisconsin brick" logo on the road uniform.<ref>{{cite news|last=McCalvy|first=Adam|title=Crew to debut Northwestern Mutual patch on jersey sleeves |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/brewers-add-northwestern-mutual-patch-to-sleeves|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=MLB.com|date=September 16, 2023|access-date=November 24, 2024}}</ref>

For the 2025 season, the Brewers' uniforms will have a commemorative patch on the right sleeve, honoring former Brewers radio broadcaster [[Bob Uecker]], who died on January 16, 2025. The patch is circular, with the outer part featuring a plaid pattern, referring to the distinctive plaid sport coats Uecker wore in television commercials in the 1980s and 1990s, an inner circle with a baseball design, and Uecker's signature running through the center of the patch.<ref>{{cite web |last1=McCalvy |first1=Adam |title=Brewers unveil Uecker jersey patch for '25 |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/bob-uecker-jersey-patch-2025-brewers?msockid=205b069f2fbb6bf4137f12542eda6af6 |website=MLB.com |publisher=Major League Baseball |date=February 10, 2025 |access-date=February 18, 2025}}</ref>
