First of all you need to have an american pitbull terrier that carries the merle gene, and there is no way of knowing if a pitbull carries the gene unless the merle pattern is displayed on it's coat or you have the blood line record, the reason is because the merle gene is receive. If you don't have the blood line record then you absolutely need one of the parents to be merle and it doesn't matter if it's a red, chocolate, or blue merle and the other parent needs to be blue and you will produce blue merles. Of course if you have a blue merle and a blue you will produce more blue merles but if you have a red or chocolate merle and a blue you will not produce as many blue merles. Typically a breeding pair that has one of the parents being merle will produce an average of about three merles per litter, that is what my females have produced out of breeding with my red merle male three to four merles per litter. Remember you can not breed two merles together because you will produce dogs with defects.
Merle is not a color seen in purebred American Pit Bull Terriers or American Staffordshire Terriers. So any "pit bull" of this color is a mixed breed with a merle carrying breed (often Catahoula in the case of pit mixes) having been crossed in. This said, yes a brindle and merle breeding has the potential of producing 50% merle puppies and 50% non-merle. Brindle to merle may also produce a combination pattern of brindled merles.

Merle is a description of a pattern on a dog's coat that is created from a certain gene. Dogs that have the merle gene tend to have speckled coats and blue eyes.
The difference between a blue nosed pitbull and a red nosed pitbull has nothing to do with their nose it is the colour of their fur and akin. 'Bluenose' pitbulls are grey where as 'Rednose' pitbulls are brown.
