csura999 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Here is a Miami Marlins concept I whipped up. I honestly like their jersey wordmarks and cap logo, but I feel like all the extra colors are unnecessary, and I know I'm not the only member on the boards who feels that way. I am a big fan of the red-orange shade they use, but I don't for the care use of black even though they have used it since their inception in 1993.So what I did was clean up the wordmarks by removing the marlin on them, and cleaned up the colors to just two: Their orange I mentioned earlier, and teal. Except in this case I darkened up their teal to a shade similar to the Philadelphia Eagles (actually a smidge lighter), I think that shade really sets off the orange that much more. I however, did keep the marlin on the cap, as I think that looks way better then having the marlin appear multiple times on the entire jersey set (wordmarks, sleeve patch, cap logo). I also tried a new number font that matches the wordmark, and used the New Orleans Saints' NOB for the Marlins, I feel it fits very well with the whole concept.Cap logos (Top is away, bottom is home):Home:Away:Home Alternate:Away Alternate:Personally, I think removing the extra colors and ditching black for teal, basically all the unnecessary gaudiness really makes the Marlins set an easy fix. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontsfan93 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 100 times better, I can't see why this isn't in service now. The only reason they shouldn't use this look is to seperate themselves from the dolphins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelayedPenalty Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The only thing that's bothering me is the mismatch colored number on the front of the jerseys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoknight Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Dolphins color scheme FTW!This is 1000x times better than the Rainbow Diarrhea that they wear now. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF. TITLES | 5th in HEISMAN | 7th in DRAFTS | 8th in ALL-AMER | 7th in WINS | 4th in BOWLS | 1st in SELLOUTS | 1st GAMEDAY SIGN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbyrd Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 This concept is very well done, its clean and simple. One problem I have is the color of the script and triming around it, maybe switch the home and away around. But its not too big of deal. Overall I really like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fouhy12 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Echoing the thoughts of the others, this is awesome! The home is easily my favorite from this set! Two suggestions: 1. It might be my screen, but the road uniform and alt pants look too dark and a bit greenish, so I think it should be lightened a tad. 2. I would like the see the "teal version" of the home- teal undershirt, socks, belt, and hat. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csura999 Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Thank you all guys. And fouhy12, here you go, a modified home version with teal undershirts, belts, and caps and the road and road alternate with a lighter shade of grey. The teal-ish tint to the road was intentional, but here it goes."Teal" home uniforms:Modified away uniforms:Modified away alternate uniforms: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbyrd Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 The updates looks even better. The teal on the arms in the home uniform breaks up all the orange that what in the orignal. They really need to switch too these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29texan Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Why couldn't the Marlins just go with THIS color scheme?It's Miami, not Oz. There's no need for that many colors.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 It'd be nice if we got some new members around here who actually knew what they were talking about.The actual Marlins colors have reasoning for being included. You may not like the way they look together, but you can't claim they just threw colors together. This concept shows less creativity than the actual uniforms because it simply copies the colors of the Miami Dolphins. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I actually find their actual color palette to be better. The way the orange, blue and yellow pop against the black, the way the orange echoes the Miami sunshine and the black, with all the colors, the Miami nightlife. There was some thought put into the color selection and not just, "Hey the Dolphins use these colors. We just moved out of their stadium so let's copy them." https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some thought put into the color selection and not just, "Hey the Dolphins use these colors. We just moved out of their stadium so let's copy them."I understand your logic McCall, and you bring up good points, very good points actually. My reasoning was that teams and cities do share color schemes, like previously stated. And well, they are on the site of the old Orange Bowl, which is where the Miami Dolphins had some of their finest seasons. I thought maybe it'd be a nice homage to the history of the site they built their new ballpark on. Maybe choosing to pay homage to an old demolished stadium and it's past through uniforms in that way is very rare, if it's ever been done, but that was a factor.However, that whole point may be irrelevant because the Miami Hurricanes also played there, but that's why I chose orange/aqua, and the fact the colors work very nice together.Thank you guys for all the criticism and constructive reasoning. I appreciate it guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel they went a little over board and what this thread is showing what it would look like if they cleaned it up a little. And that they should keep teal, they won two world series with it, why abandon it? All in all, im fine with both the current design and this users concept. And you make a strong argument for why they chose what they have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Maybe it's just my monitor, but that I'm not reading that as orange, more like salmon. The colour combination your using reminds me of packaging for Kool-Aid, fruit-punch flavour--and this is a good thing! Very tropical colour scheme to me. Very solid concept overall.
