TheOldRoman Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 The internet once again proves that it truly has its fingers on the pulse of a market!!!New stuff ALWAYS sells just because it's new. The Buffaslug sold a hell of a lot, and that is nearly universally considered one of the worst brandings ever. Fans will buy new gear even if they hate it, just to be current. And the Marlins didn't sell much of anything last year since 1) Nobody went to their games to buy merchandise from their stores; and 2) They had already announced they would be changing their name, colors and logo the season after. I'm not definitively saying the fans love or hate it, just that these sales numbers are a poor indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 True, but these initial numbers are still very impressive. Don't forget that any fans who liked the teal knew this was their last chance to buy it. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

CubsFanBudMan Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Actually, I'd expect them to be much further along than 17 percent of all sales last year before I'd call it staggering. Then again, how much Marlins gear sold last year? Could have been 1,000 items. Without that number, the percentage is useless. Anyway, Samson's not going to say any different. And he should probably avoid references to being too busy "counting the cash." Never know when he'll have to cry poor again.I wonder if the popularity of the orange cap will convince them to use it in games, considering it didn't make the cut for the fashion show.

marlinfan Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 My guess as to why the BP are selling best is quality. I have yet to see an authentic anywhere or a replica with a NOB. When presented with a blank replica and a blank BP for the same price, which is what I've encountered everywhere, the blank BP will win out because of better quality. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that any fans who liked the teal knew this was their last chance to buy it.Wait - you're saying the Marlins had teal last season? I could've sworn it was but a very small accent color around the wordmarks and hat mark.In all seriousness, the Marlins fans who liked the teal probably wouldn't be going for the post-2003 apparel, and be looking for some older stuff.

nuordr Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Maybe the Marlins was looking at Maroon 5 when they came up with their logo. Below is a logo that Maroon 5 is using at the AMAs tonight: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
