There's a reason the initial black M the Marlins used was changed to White a few seasons ago. If recolored in white...then maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like how the fin of the Marlin finishes the top of the M I think it would look better if the fin curved away more similar to the other side of the M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxy8s Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 If a big 4 team in Miami is going to go with this color scheme, it might as well be the Marlins. But Christ, that's an ugly and unusually dark rendering of it. Here's hoping it's a primary that doesn't get used in practice all that often. I would love it if the ballcap logo ended up being a standalone-worthy "M" that could be worn to represent the city as much as (if not more than) the team.

FiddySicks Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 At first glance, that’s about as awful as I expected it to be. Solid #3 among Marlins primary logos, and this is only logo #3.

The_Admiral Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 The skew and drop-shadow give this a very 1999 feel to me. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 It feels dated, but at least they didn't cave into pressure and revert to the teal look and/or "Florida Marlins" name.

SFGiants58 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I have doubts about its legitimacy, but if it’s the real deal, it’s definitely disappointing. The design is too dark, the showing is poorly-realized, and the overall aesthetic is fairly dated. I’ll wait until the unveiling for more concrete analysis.

fouhy12 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I like the design and color scheme, but the balance feels off. Something about this rendering reminds me of the 2000s Blue Jays branding. It's just too dark. Hopefully the final branding won't focus as heavily on black as the logo does. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Lankford Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I thought there was supposed to be more blue. That's somehow more black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimball Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I reserve my full judgement until I see the whole logo package and uniforms, but based on this right now — that’s too much black.

Of all the new parks (since 2000 or so) the Marlins and Nationals are the only ones without a sponsor, no? Seems like a good time to jump onto that. I wish we lived in a world where a corporate sponsor wasn't expected. In a perfect world, they'd remain Marlins and Nationals Parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t, they have a naming deal with the city. 2. Is there any pressure to revert the name? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Quillz Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 If that is indeed the new Marlins logo, I'd have to see it enlarged and in its official capacity, of course. One of the things I recall about the Blue Jays logo was that while it appeared flat, it looked really good on caps because it has raised embroidery and other details that didn't translate into a digital graphic. Curious if the new Marlins logo would do something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I prefer parks named after owners (Jacobs, Griffith, Comiskey, Turner, etc) or unique non-corporate names (Candlestick, Skydome, Riverfront, Three Rivers, etc).

Is it really better to name it after a billionaire than a corporation? Both seem equally less than ideal. I think everyone would prefer Geico (or whatever) Park to Loria Park.

crashcarson15 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I like what I've seen so far, and this is the right shade of blue for the Marlins (IMO), but want to hold out to see the logo's application on hats and jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 While I would have liked teal over blue, blue/black/silver would be something unique within baseball. That alone will make it more interesting than the black and orange they seem to emphasize now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tougher to do so when it’s named after a corporation. I’d rather have Jacobs Field than Progressive Field. Plus we all know Loria wouldn’t have named the stadium Loria Park if he had his druthers. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this, though I would like it more if the marlin was blue. As is, it blends in a bit too much with the M (as others have mentioned) and darkens the logo as a whole. 12 hours ago, goalieboy82 said: I had forgotten about this cover.
