PrimalCookie Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I’m surprised by how much I’m liking these. The only thing I would change is add piping on the blues, as well as have a blue billed cap option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw one on the shop that was all black with a white logo, is that a game hat or a fashion one? rangers. they have 'texas' on all jerseys. also, agreed, they should have a blue cap.

TBGKon Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Despite the process of how everything was unveiled, I have to give this a solid 8/10. I knocked a point off for the floating stitches and another point for the lack of a second hat, but it works for a start that they can grow into.

Ray Lankford Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I give this set a thumbs up but I'm a little disappointed with how much the blue doesn't pop on the white and grey jerseys. The blue outline and pink dropshadow bleed together too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 The hat is awesome. It really looks like a neon sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCree Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I can barely see the names and logos when it’s black on black. I’m just not feeling this new look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashcarson15 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I like it, on the whole. The blue jersey is lovely and makes a great case for a blue hat as an alternate. The sleeve patch logos are good -- and I think the black "ball" on the black jersey probably gets us back to the whole "simulating a baseball" discussion we had a little while back. Scripts aren't great and I think there's a lot uniform-wise they could've/should've done differently, but it's a neat identity overall, IMO.

The white text on gray was a terrible look. Totally disagree. That was my favorite touch - they shoulda worn it more often "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Gothamite Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 7 hours ago, aawagner011 said: It’s interesting to me that they went out of their way to design a new modified block font and aren’t using it for the names on the back. That looks like plain block. Compare that to this: I think that’s actually a good move. Simple block is best for name legibility, and it avoids the fussy overly-matchy feeling that custom name fonts bring. Not every element needs to match exactly, they just need to not clash with each other. And block compliments everything. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Olmec Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 7 hours ago, aawagner011 said: Skepticism justified, these aren't terrible by any means but they're just boring. Kinda parallels the Jags new uniforms, individual elements of a great uniform that just fall short due to being "too simple" (not to mention to obnoxious usage of fire emojis being used to describe each by grown men) Here's my take: Home: 1. Chest should say "Marlins" I don't care that the Rangers do it, their jerseys shouldn't say Texas either. 2. Needs piping somewhere, anywhere, sleeves, placket, neck, just something 3. Needs a front number, the colors really do look great, they should be using them as much as they possibly can. Road: For a road grey jersey, I have no issues with these. Blue alt: Needs piping, the same way the bosox blue alt needs piping, without it, just looks like a BP jersey. Black alt: I think they nailed this. It showcases the theme they were trying to capture when they came up with this rebrand and it's a nice change of pace from the mundane. Reminds me of the Giants all black alt that Bonds used to wear. Now just reserve it for certain days/nights and don't wear it every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoogs44 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 4 hours ago, Quillz said: How is it BFBS when black is their primary color? Well truthfully you have to ask the question is black the primary color or just ended up being the most prominent? They promoted these as Our Colores, meaning black? Or is it referring to the unique blue and red that they chose? So then why feature the black more than the other colores? Then it seems your using black as your backdrop... I don't think in any of the three Marlins designs black was meant to be a primary, I could be mistaken, but it ended up that way, because they only wore the black hat and the black jersey the majority of the time... Teams get confused on what they want the identity they created to be. The White Sox, the Brooklyn Nets , the Pittsburgh Steelers those are black primary teams , with only one secondary color...

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I'm not a fan of the uniforms. The blue (BP?) one is the only one that had/has potential. These are just so underwhelming. The black jersey specifically is so dull. Something about that cursive puts me to sleep. They did their whole #ourcolores campaign, these uniforms don't ooze colorful to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, I think that was a matter of circumstance and timing and not something that should really be held against them. They moved into a new ballpark and a new city and had a name change and then a new ownership came in with a desire/need to reset from their past errors. Both rebrands were/are fitting and it just so happened to fall within the same decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
