Dynasty Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I still think that teal and orange would have the way to go, though.Needs less black.IMO, a Dolphins-like scheme would have been nice.Yes, it would have been perfect.I would personally like to see a team do something more different instead of using a similar identity of a team in the same city.

It seems to work in Pittsburgh, for example. That city owns and embraces black and yellow. While I wouldn't endorse the idea for just any city, it would work for Miami. The Marlins took a step in that direction when they named the team after a fish. Go ahead and go all the way. (Yes, I know dolphins aren't fish, but...)

The_Admiral Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Nah, the time to align colors with the Dolphins would have been before moving out of their stadium and into Little Havana. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Jim Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 While aqua and orange would be my favorite for the Marlins, something along these lines would work, also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I think the logos are great, but to have those be so colorful and then rely on black hats and jerseys seems like a waste. If I were in charge, I'd ditch all of the black and utilize the following or something close in regular game rotation (in addition to the orange): Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonYoung320 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 This is a great hat in my opinion. Agreed! I own one of these from a 1993 Spring Training game. I think the logos are great, but to have those be so colorful and then rely on black hats and jerseys seems like a waste. If I were in charge, I'd ditch all of the black and utilize the following or something close in regular game rotation (in addition to the orange):I'd trade my Orange Marlins jersey in a heartbeat for that Blue. *swoons* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 That blue is just so different from all of the others that it would completely stand out from all of the other blue teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDGP Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 What shade of blue is that? Maybe colorwerex could pitch in?Is that the same shade that the Thunder use? I checked on your site, and the eye test seems to say yes, but I'm no expert. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

Digby Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yeah I adore that shade of blue, especially because of how unique it is in MLB. Looks fantastic on a baseball hat and jersey.

Still the best unis in their history. What a shame they started using black as their primary color. And the sleeveless set was great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yes, that was an incredible set. It's a shame it only really lasted 4 seasons before they went to black hats exclusively in 1997.I have an idea for salvaging the current set. So, they wanted to go with the "Miami at night/bright neon" theme, which would explain there being so much black in the set. Sticking with that, they could improve the set by adding more color to it. First off, swap the blue/orange/yellow out for fluorescent colors, and make those portions of the fabric shimmery.The M logo is the only letter which features the colors in such a way. So, put all the letters in the wordmarks in the same style, and maybe make the colored portions larger, so the letters appear to be glowing. Then match the numbers on the back. For example, the black jersey would have white numbers with a four-color outline. After that, drop the single-color piping for some sort of multi-color stripes on the pants (and maybe the sleeves).
