SportsLogos.Net News 572 Posted September 17, 2020 Our First Look at Baseball’s 2021 Spring Training Logos September 17, 2020 - 13:26 PM I think we can all get behind looking towards 2021 as quickly as possible. Major League Baseball yesterday unveiled the logo for its 2021 Spring Training campaign as well as the individual Grapefruit League (Florida) and Cactus League (Arizona) logos. As with recent years, the Spring Training logos follow a Read More... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WSU151 9,455 Posted September 17, 2020 I like them. I'm just happy these were released now, instead of December/January. These local motifs of the last couple years are better than the more generic interstate signs from ~2015-2017. Also, this news might be the first "2021 MLB Changes" news. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaliforniaGlowin 2,049 Posted September 17, 2020 As a road sign geek, I was a fan of the signs. This is cool, but the 2021 separated looks more like a hockey or basketball logo for 20-21. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
selgy 405 Posted September 18, 2020 I know that it wont happen until either a new stadium and or a sister-city deal (vomits typing that). But i would love to see some update to the Rays look. I would prefer the old Devil Rays look. But instead of black being used. It is replaced with a lighter shade of navy blue. So this. But the shade of navy blue a little lighter. Something that pulls from the left side of the "D" in Devil in the jersey. Maybe even having a slight hint of purple to the hue. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaliforniaGlowin 2,049 Posted September 18, 2020 I wish they would drop the navy and go powder blue and yellow. Maybe navy as a shadow or outline color. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always thought that indigo would be a nice bridge between the current navy and the retro purple. Maybe have powder and gold as the primary and secondary and indigo as a trim/tertiary color. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaliforniaGlowin 2,049 Posted September 19, 2020 I'm still hoping Miami gets the proper tweaks and emphasizes the blue over the black. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope so too, but it's going to take some rather large "tweaks" to make that happen. The logos and wordmarks are super black heavy. Blue only really asserts itself in their spring training/BP uniform, but they need to redesign that to make it suitable for regular game use. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw some highlights of Miami in the black jerseys the other day and I don't even see how MLB approved those. Can't read the wordmark, numbers, or NOB. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EddieJ1984 1,614 Posted September 22, 2020 The Marlins need to change their black jersey, it's horrible on TV. Just fill the letters with white or blue (and make the outlines white if they go that route) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magic Dynasty 2,342 Posted September 22, 2020 It's horrible everywhere, not just on TV. I get that they're going for the neon aesthetic, but it doesn't work. Either make the outlines significantly thicker or (better idea) make the name/number/NOB blue with a white outline and a red shadow. Change the cap with it, as well. From any distance it looks like it's just plain black with nothing on it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dont care 6,016 Posted September 23, 2020 Just make the wordmark, numbers, and NOB white. Making the outlines thicker doesn’t/won’t fix the problems 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
primonito 21 Posted September 23, 2020 The Marlins should take a page from the Miami Heat vice jerseys. Black jersey with neon blue city name and neon red numbers (keep the same Marlin fonts and shades of blue & red). It would achieve the neon vibe while making it more legible. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
