However, the Marlins don't actually wear this shade on the field. They wear more of a standard SF/BAL orange. If this was the way it looked on the uniforms I think that shade would work well too.

PrimalCookie Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I love it. I’m actually not too opposed to the logos of the current set, but the jerseys are terrible (and if you’re going to have 6 (?) colors in your logo, use them on your uniforms). If these have the black hat and a uniform that balances blue and black well (preferably with blue as the dominant color) with orange accents... that’ll be real nice.

It's as easy as 1-2-3-4-3-5-6-7-6-5-8-9-Fish. I like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you're coming from but it's also new ownership, new players, and new uniforms so it wouldn't surprise me if this habit is finally dropped.

Digby Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 So they're gonna Vice it up. Not a terrible idea. But the colors being off on the initial leak gave me a light blue with purple vibe, and that got me thinking that would be a very nice and very unusual scheme. Pink instead of purple makes sense, but the Heat and all the ironic 80s revival stuff make me kinda sick of it already.

I really want it to be pink or even coral, but I don't think they are ballsy enough to do it. Didnt Miami’s MLS team just recently release a logo that features pink rather predominantly? Maybe that helped to shift the mindset a bit. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

At first I didn't like it because I think it's an outdated Miami cliche (and it is) and it's just something that isn't really all over Miami anymore. But I'm warming up to it because it's just so new, unique and fresh for MLB so it would still stand out, in a good way as opposed to the previous set that stood out in a bad way.

Is there any pressure to revert the name? I’m mostly referring to our little corner of the web, with people expressing a fondness for the “Florida Marlins” name. Which I never understood.

Pengin. Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I really like the neon light theme on the hat. It definitely looks better than forcing the theme on the Memphis Grizzlies inline numbers or the Memphis Redbirds. I feel like the best use of the highlights mimicking the neon lights theme is if the base color of the logo matches the color of the hat/jersey/marketing material (pink/light blue on black on black) like the hat example The logo on the white background makes it look like the Marlin was dipped in oil.

Maybe that helped to shift the mindset a bit. Yes, they did. And boy, are they owning the color. I’d love to believe that it had something to do with it, but the Marlins have been working on their new identity for a while. Certainly longer than Inter Miami’s badge has been public. Maybe Jeter knew it was coming behind the scenes, a professional courtesy from one famous former athlete/current Miami sports owner to another. But I’d tend to doubt it.

I think for some it's nostalgia for the original name, but I feel like there could be an opportunity there for either the Marlins or Rays to establish themselves as Florida's baseball team, though. Do either the Marlins or Rays have many fans in decently-sized metros Orlando or Jacksonville? Would calling themselves the Florida Marlins or Florida Rays help expand their reach?

I don't really know, but it's something to consider. Orlando probably leans Rays but their market doest get broadcast of both teams. Jacksonville might have a pocket of Marlins fans due to the Jacksonville Giant Shrimp being the Marlins AA affiliate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 The only reason I ever preferred “Florida Marlins” over “Miami Marlins” was purely that it just sounds better phonetically to me. The former just sorta flows, whereas the latter sounds kinda choppy. And I just think “Florida” is a really pleasant name on its own. That said though, I totally get the switch to “Miami” and am starting to get used to it now, so I don’t mind them sticking to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Having two pink teams in Miami can work if the Marlins keep the pink as the third/accent color, which i think they will. No pink jerseys or caps, keep those blue or black along with the regular white and gray and it works. Based on the balance of colors a pink and black team can look different enough from a blue black and pink team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
