That's one of the first things the new ownership did was embrace each town/community in Miami and the names are plastered all over the ballpark and in their marketing. They also did Neighborhood Nights this year, one for each town like Coral Gables, Wynwood, Hialeah, Kendall, etc etc. I love the idea. As for the letter I sure hope that's not on the jerseys but based on this communities idea I don't think it will be. Yup, you got it, definitely Coral Gables. If any team needs to embrace its community its the Marlins. Miami is not just one city its the entire damn county lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Miami (like, my address says the word Miami) but I'm in Kendall which is almost 30 mins from the ballpark and from what would be considered "the city" or "downtown." There are so many areas around "the city" that are still called Miami and each one has it's own unique traits and vibes... it's smart for the team to embrace the entire city but to also celebrate the differences within the communities of this city. I'm also not sure any other Miami sports team has ever done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 One more thing... remember when the Seahawks and the Atlanta Hawks brought that neon volt green color to prominence a few years back? The Marlins could be on the same path with that neon red. The more I see it the more I like that it's not just that faded pastel pink like Inter Miami (which is fine too for them). I love that it's pinkish but still red, if that makes any sense. Someone on Twitter called it a "guava red" which is funny but also very fitting in multiple ways.

It’s probably gaudy to use for a jersey or even a cap, but it works so well as an accent color for so many schemes. I think I’ve been seeing it in web design a lot lately, and one of the new iPhones uses it... might be shockingly zeitgeisty for this team.

JayMac Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I love the colors and if that logo is correct, I'm okay with it. My only issue is the heavy use of black. IMO, that was the huge problem with the last rebrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet1929 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Billy The Marlin is getting a makeover... not just in color but in design as well... this is interesting as, with the exception of his colors, I think he's already one of the best looking mascots in MLB...

SilverBullet1929 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Emphasis on the blue in the latest tweet... Community names in the background is confirmed... this one clearly says Pinecrest up top... but the block letters appear again more prominently this time. Hmmm...

CardsFan79 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Can anyone make out what the words are in the backgrounds of the 2 Marlins tweets? In the latest, it looks like CORAL G and PINECR... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlinfan Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Both buildings in that graphic are located in Coral Gables— the Miracle Theatre and the Biltmore. Maybe we will be seeing more more of these with local landmarks for each community. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, that was the huge problem with the last rebrand. This is my reaction to the image posted on the Marlins Twitter account today. The blue and bright red look great, but it certainly seems that they will be accents. I feel like black is being emphasized more now than in the current set.

SilverBullet1929 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 I think a blue alternate jersey is sorely needed but with that said the black alternates are probably gonna look incredible. Almost like saying if you're gonna use so much black then do it right and they have a chance to be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has always annoyed the hell out of me about Marlins Park. In the "what were they thinking?" kind of way. All of the local flavors were basically tucked far away into this small narrow hallway that could easily be missed. Thankfully it sounds like they will be renovating that area so hopefully it's larger and more accessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the BP jersey is blue, hopefully it becomes an alt one day (if it isnt) or they wear it during the season for games sometimes. 3 minutes ago, Marlins93 said: This has always annoyed the hell out of me about Marlins Park.

Thankfully the sculpture has been moved already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins93 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 So are you guessing a blue BP jersey and black game alternates in addition to the home white and road grey? And only black caps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
