This looks great. The hat logo definitely needs a white outline... Use the current one with the black alt only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can definitely tell you that this team has always done that. Would love to know how many other teams do that, or how many don't might be a better question. It's amazing how easy it is to think that every world series trophy is/was the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many teams regularly use an image of the Commissioner’s Trophy in their branding, anyway? Asking as someone whose team can’t. Yet. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

This leads me to think that teal was never even considered as an option for the rebranding. This does not come as a surprise at all, of course, but it's still interesting to think about. The hubris does remind me a bit of Jeffrey Loria, though. I truly believe that that could have made these exact same uniform templates and logo with teal, a hint of black and silver. It would have turned out soooo beautiful! I think someone on here already did a mockup of what the new marlins uniforms would look like in predominant teal.

I really wish they had returned to teal, but the new set could have been infinitely better if they even used the light blue color more prominently in the logos and wordmark. Such a missed opportunity. I have my fingers crossed for a "soft" and more colorful rebrand a few years down the road when the Marlins might actually be fielding a competitive team.

joekono Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Oh I don't know, the shirts kind of look like they came out of a bargain bin. If they were shooting for the 90s they should have brought back the 1993 beauties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snedden001 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I am very much a novice when it comes to these things, at least compared to some of you long-time logo guys, but the new marlins logo just seems half-assed to me. I don't have an issue with the colors (as someone who travels to Miami 5-6 times a year, I can see the associative qualities of the colors with the city), but the baseball seams on that fish are horrific.

daniel75 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I actually love their current logo (jerseys not so much) but I gotta admit I like this even more, just stay away from pin stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebuy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 As someone who absolutely hated the previous look, I really love this update. The home jersey is beautiful and the Miami nights theme is well thought out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yeah, I’m not sure we should talk about what a stand-up, respectable guy David Samson is. He went to LeBetard’s public birthday party, went up on stage, and was booed by the Miami fans in attendance. And how did he respond? Quote He flipped them off and bragged that he and Loria's cartoonishly evil antics helped the owner sell the team for $1.2 billion. That followed a deal, which Samsion helped broker, that allowed Loria to pay only $150 million for the team. (Some estimates have put that number even lower.) "Thank you so much; thank you very much," a drunk-sounding Samson stammered into a microphone as Le Batard lumbered behind him. "Here's why I love when you guys boo me. Right. I want you to keep booing me. Because guess what? One-point-two billion. :censored: you!" Class act, all the way. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Well, I respect his candor. Try getting Jeter to be direct or forthcoming about anything! Jeter is certainly more professional and probably whom I'd rather have running big picture things among those two choices, but it remains to be seen whether or not he's effective in that role. I can say that so far the activities on the baseball operations side have been no better or perhaps even a little worse than under the Loria ownership.

marlinfan Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 It’s funny because Samson has said he isn’t close to Loria anymore. Is he celebrating making someone else a boatload of money? 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
