With less than a week to go before the start of the season, there wasn't nearly enough time to order new uniforms. As a result, the Brewers were forced to replace the Pilots logos with Brewers logos. In fact, the outline of the old Pilots logo was clearly visible on the Brewers' uniforms. They were also forced to assume the Seattle Pilots' place in the AL West (where, due to their geographical location, they would stay until 1972, when they moved to the AL East).
Under the circumstances, the Brewers' 1970 season was over before it started, and they finished 65-97 (a one-game improvement over 1969). They would not have a winning season until 1978. Those years, however, were not without their highlights. For instance, in 1973 the team introduced its popular mascot, Bernie Brewer. A year later, the Brewers engineered a trade that brought Hank Aaron back to Milwaukee, a move which gave the team instant credibility. Selig also began acquiring many players that would become long-standing fan favorites, including Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Jim Gantner, Stormin' Gorman Thomas, Don Money, and Cecil Cooper.
