It's definitely soon but it's already Wednesday and no reveal event has been announced so my guess is this week is like a week of teasers with the reveal probably coming at some point next week. Yeah theyll likely want to be ahead of the holiday season, so no later than sometime next week I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really aren't that many black teams when you think about it. There's only 8 and almost all pair the black with a unique secondary color. It's nothing compared to how many red and blue teams there are. The problem with a mostly black look isn't that it would resemble too many other teams and feel less unique. The problem is that something that borders on black monochrome is bland and dull, outside of maybe going for something minimalist like the Chi Sox. A vibrant city like Miami should be emphasizing colors, not using them as mostly accents. Perhaps the official set will pop, but the leaked logo and sewn cap images most certainly do not. So no other team in the NL East might be heavily utilizing black, but a drab look is still a drab look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the black pinstripes on the home and the lack of any other hat color that I didn't care for. I'm not saying the black didn't look good, it's just that the team had a bright beautiful teal and just regulated it to outlines... Left them with nothing in terms of color.

marlinfan Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I loved that black alternate. The metallic silver was visually appealing when seen from up close. It was a product of its time. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like they should have embraced the bright orange with the last set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But none of these teams look bland and dull because of the (almost entirely unique) secondary (and, in some cases, tertiary) color pairings.

The promotional tweets jump off the page, too. It’ll look really good on gray road uniforms, as well, provided the Marlins actually wear them instead of a heavy dose of alternates on the road.

Scrumptious Ham Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Those bright colors off a black background will not be dull to me. I'm expecting a nice neon lightning effect. Perfect for the nightlife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case in point: the Marlins all teal look from their first couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am responding to the leaked logo & script concepts, sewn cap, and rumors reported here about the jerseys. All of this indicates a look that is heavily monochromatic, black on black. I don't think that bears any similarities with any of the teams you are mentioning there, strictly speaking. None of those teams have primary or cap logos that are black on black. Again, we've already kind of seen what the Marlins logo looks like on a black cap and in my opinion it does not work at all. That's why I'm hoping they'd at least give us a blue alternate or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best quality, I admit, but I think this is certainly enough to be able to judge how the mostly black logo looks on a black cap: Sure, it would help to be able to see the entire cap and on someone's head, but I cannot imagine that really changing much in the end.
