I just went through the trouble of resetting my password so I could ask this question. Feels like the same striping as on the sleeve cuffs going down the legs would go a long way towards making these more colorful. But since we haven’t seen a side shot yet, I’m assuming the pants are just plain white and there’s no reason to show them from that angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Why is “slate” gray always tinted blue? Not just here, but in pretty much any context? I ordered “slate gray” curtains that were basically blue, and have seen slate paint that’s bluish.

Frylock Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Maybe it's just me, but is anyone else getting a 2004 San Diego Padres vibe for the number font? http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/fo674aaqqelsf1f7qhjecmvve/San_Diego_Padres/2004/Road_Uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimball Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I don't mind the overall look. It's kinda grown on me. I do think there's too much black. But, I am extremely underwhelmed with the blue jerseys and I don't think the cap logo really works well ... at all on the jersey. Some have suggested a front number? Mmmm ... I don't think that'd help? I would rather like to see Miami or Marlins on the front like the other three jerseys. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

Mac the Knife Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I just asked Santa (a/k/a Mrs. Knife) for the white "Miami" jersey as a Christmas present. I'm a fast-approaching 50 year old man who hasn't worn a baseball jersey of any kind in maybe 20 years, but that one looks so damned good to me? I can't resist. The rest of the entire set? Meh... But that white "Miami" jersey pops with its simplicity. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Look how nice the black jersey pops in this setting, the numbers seem to glow here and creates that neon nightlife effect. It's so weird how in some settings these jerseys feel so underwhelming and in others they feel so perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Slate gray is a gray color with a slight azure tinge that is a representation of the average color of the material slate. As a tertiary color, slate is an equal mix of purple and green pigments. The stone "slate" itself lends to this as a color description: Quote Slate is frequently grey in color, especially when seen, en masse, covering roofs. However, slate occurs in a variety of colors even from a single locality; for example, slate from North Wales can be found in many shades of grey, from pale to dark, and may also be purple, green or cyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 For whoever cares, Marlins Man said he's not so sure about these jerseys and that he'll continue to wear the orange for another year and then think about it again a year from now and he says these uniforms show how little the Marlins care about baseball traditions. ...of course because that orange jersey and logos he wears are oh so steeped in baseball traditions right? Whatever you think of these new jerseys I don't know how anyone can call them less traditional than the last ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Cesarano Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The cap logo is pretty good. But I have several complaints: The multi-coloured shadows on the lettering make me think that I should be wearing 3-D glasses. The use of black is as ugly as it had been in the previous set. The home jersey should have the nickname. Both jerseys badly need a front number. The correct move would have been to go back to the original 1993 set, with an M cap instead of an F cap. That shade of teal is, was, and ever shall be the quintessential Miami colour. This move would have been universally applauded. Jeter could have stood next to Jeff Conine and Benito Santiago, and could have announced that he was bringing the team back to its roots. The flaws in this new uniform are exacerbated by the enormous missed opportunity to earn some goodwill from a city that deeply distrusts the team's current ownership.

BBTV Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Cap - would really benefit from a white keyline. It's just going to look black from afar. It's a nice cap logo, but just won't be visible enough unless that blue is really bright in person. Blue jersey - I hate hate hate how teams seem to be designing their alts the way BP jerseys used to be. As others have said, it needs piping or trim or something to make it look like something other than the old-style mesh warmups. As good as that logo looks on a cap, it just doesn't work as a chest mark. I don't like the fish jumping away from the player, and I don't think "fancy" logos work in that capacity. Look at the classic designs that stood the test of time - Yankees, Tigers, 70s-91 Phillies (not that much time, but still), Reds - they were all "simple". Not counting Cleveland's because I hate mascots on jerseys. I don't care for the black on blue. It's not the worst thing in the world, but if they had the mark available in other colors for different applications, maybe that would work better. Back to bullet 2 - "Marlins" should be the wordmark on this one. No doubts. Black jersey Too black. It's just so... black. The numbers will be very hard to read, but the NOB? Fuhgetaboutit. The trim is nice, but I'd rather it be heavier and even more noticeable. It's just so... so... black.

M4One Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 It's an upgrade over the previous set, but the bar was pretty low to begin with. There needs to be more contrast between the fish and M, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 That red just looks so orange and it's messing with my mind. I want to like these uniforms a lot...but it seems like there's a lot that could be improved. It's like drinking Coke Zero for the first time. Solid B/B+ look so far.

swilson160 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I get that they want black to be their base color. But for the life of me I cannot understand why they would pick such bold and bright complementary colors and then use them in a way that completely minimizes them, especially from a distance.

VikWings Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I love all of it. I just love the colors and even the black on black works. So much better than the trash they were wearing before. I despised the set it's replacing (especially the logo) though so that could be why I like these so much. But I'd like them in a vacuum too. There's a few tweaks I'd make here or there but this is a solid 8.5-9/10 re-design. Modern enough but also kept up with baseball traditions without being bland like the Padres or whatever that mess in Arizona is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
