Obviously modernize the script so it's reminiscent of the original while keeping up with the times. These would be for the home and NW green alternate, with the trident on the caps, hopefully some sort of roundel alternate for the sleeve. Ye gods and little fishes, that color scheme is drab and boring. There's a reason the Mariners use silver letters on their colored jerseys. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

I don't see the Mariners type treatment on their jerseys as a conflict with the trident, and actually feel it would be better to just leave the trident as a mark instead of trying to make it a typeface. MLB has many teams (ie Dodgers, Yankees, Cubs, Tigers, etc.) that use a lettermark that is different than the wordmark on one of their jerseys.

Sport Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Our old friend phantom dreamer keeps getting retweeted by Paul Lukas because he's doing his old blue/yellow trident bit on twitter. No, the Mariners look great as is and don't need changes and definitely don't need to go back in time to a color scheme that never worked for them. They're the only team in major North American professional sports who uses navy blue and teal. I like the trident as a fun batting practice hat, but the S hats are far superior and should be the only thing worn on a regular game hat. The only improvements I'd make would be to incorporate more teal into the regular look. Go back to teal bills on the home hats and use a teal number on the front of the jerseys.

Go back to teal bills on the home hats and use a teal number on the front of the jerseys. I'd go one step further. I suggest that the team use teal in much the same way that the Orioles use orange. I'd implement teal scripts (with navy outlines) on the home and road uniforms, teal-billed hat becomes the standard at both home and on the road, and the navy alt somehow gets more teal. I'd also brighten the teal shade a tad, so it stands out better. It's a color they could really own in the league.

SilverBullet1929 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Teal is MLB's bastard stepchild. Three teams have owned it but none of them really want to embrace it. One team totally abandoned the poor kid, another team at least gives it food and shelter and some conditional love, the third team ignored it for a decade but is just now coming around to talking to him again but just not every day. Such a sad story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tohasbo Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Funny thing is that the Diamondbacks teal they use now is nowhere close to what they used from 1998-2006. Not even a shade close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The color was actually a pretty true green. And the club never called it anything but green. I know the names are subjective and therefore pretty meaningless, but it's a real stretch to make that teal. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Gothamite Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 No, they really didn't. Look at the official logos, not random photos. I don't know if I'd call that "hunter green", as the Brewers did, but I sure wouldn't call it "teal". Not unless we adopt a definition so expansive as to encompass a very wide variety of greens.
