mjd77 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The Brewers throwbacks last night weren't even correct. There was no sleeve patch, and the coloring of the lettering looked a bit off as well. Pittsburgh looked great in the pinstripes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a team anniversary in 1994 and a city anniversary in 1996. But no regular emblem on the sleeves. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

jp1409 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Am I the only one who can't stand the fact that the Mariners navy alternates shade doesn't seem to match their caps? I was totally bugged by these at PNC in Pittsburgh last week and it doesn't look any better on ESPN tonight... They look like the Cubbies did wearing their alts before switching to light royal hats.

Gothamite Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Their mismatched teal has bugged me in the past. One of those colors that's hard to match across fabrics. But navy? Don't recall that - have you a pic? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their caps are midnight navy so they should wear the same shade of jerseys as Cleveland but it seems like they've got light navy jerseys like Milwaukee...

Sport Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Yeah the navy jerseys are bad. They use the midnight navy on the caps, but it's like they're using the lighter, more purplish navy the Indians used to use on the jerseys. The mismatch looks really awful.

AkSaber Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the mismatched shades of navy. It looks horrendous. The sad thing is that particular alternate jersey used to be a darker shade which did match the caps, beautifully I might add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bothers me as well and the fact its the only jersey with the unique lettering. So much for brand synergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 The only thing I've heard the Marlins say on the green walls is that they wanted it our ballpark to be instantly recognizable on TV. Not like the view of the whole ballpark which is obvious but like if you're watching sports highlights and they show a good defensive play from Marlins Park that you see the background and instantly know it's Miami. In my opinion, and yes I'm a Marlins fan, I like the green walls. You have to see them in person to see that they're not fluorescent, they're not as bright as a "green screen", they're just a lighter green. Once I saw them in person I loved them and now it looks fine to me on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium has 4 parking garages and 4 quadrants so you know where to exit when your by your garage. You'll note that the outfield is generally near the green garage on the map, and stadium theming and coloring wraps around the concourse from green to red to blue to yellow.

dont care Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 It's silly but it's giving back to the ducks foundation after they did the same thing for them during the NHL season. But is the "A" out lines in periwinkle? Or does it just look that way being on a cleam background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1409 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I've been to over ten games at Marlins Park while in Miami and I honestly can't get used to the flashy green walls and the horrendous "thing" in center field. I brought some friends who don't know :censored: about baseball a couple months ago and the first thing they told me is that this place looks more like a colorful flying saucer than a baseball stadium which is pretty accurate. This is Jeffrey Loria's publicly funded toy and he's most probably the worst douchebag in baseball so you can't really expect anything better...

Because it's brighter than the typical dark, dull green? I think it looks fun and unique. Fits with the bright colors of their uniform. The center field thing is a bit much.

Dynasty Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'll admit that Marlins Park doesn't exactly have the best baseball feel, but I personally think it's a pretty nice structure in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
