MilSox Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 So far, I'd have to call this an underwhelming upgrade. I love the concept, but feel they're botching the excecution. Mostly, I feel there should be much more art deco influence. Go to any font site and you'll see there's plenty of options distinct enough from the Marlins last rebrand if that was a concern. Overall, as a Brewers fan, I feel for Marlins fans. I look forward to another, even more blatant instance of fans wearing different gear than the team because the team is too stubborn to give the people buying the tickets what they want.

Ted Cunningham Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Just for the sake of seeing them, I took the colors out of the posted images to get a better idea of what they actually were. The red/pink is actually on the pink side of red if one were to look at the hex code. Now, I fully admit that the colors are just based on what's in the image and are not the actual Pantone/official colors. But I think it helps to see them this way.

SilverBullet1929 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 That color is apparently called "bright red." Its very much a neon red. Its like the pinkest red you can get while still calling it red, so to speak. It's also not orange. Interesting choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet1929 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Oh geez... the same IG account that leaked the first logo, which I did admit was unreliable, has now stolen one of the jersey concepts I put up on these boards and made a post saying it was a leak of the possible jersey... I said from day one that it was just done by a friend loosely playing with photo shop so I know for sure it's not legit. Now if they took that and thought it was legit we once again have to question if the original leak was BS to begin with. Crazy how social media works.

They can do it but they're choosing to do something different. Jeter wants to create his own brand of the Marlins from now on. Something that people over time will look back on and say "Oh those were Jeter's Marlins" the way other teams have eras/brands recognizable by key owners and/or GMs or even field managers.

Gothamite Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I don't think that original Florida Marlins brand is quite as strong as the old Blue Jays brand they refreshed. There are too many fundamental problems with it, from the 90s swoopy wordmark to the pointless extra outlines around the numbers to the cap logo with the wrong initial.

It hurt me to hit like on this post but it was too true to not like. I'd love to see a Florida Marlins refresh but I'm also more than ready for the complete rebrand that's coming. It's almost like they're doing a reboot on the Miami rebrand that was botched seven years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 The new logos look like something I'd find in the concepts forum here. Not in a good way. Somehow they managed to downgrade, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not baseball related but i made some Houston Texans concepts a while back and I recently came across a fake jersey site selling them. Pretty surreal.

That would have made sense before it became the hottest color of the 1990s, used by at least one team in every league. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
