The current Derek Jeter identity still hasn't caught on for me. I think as little of it it as the day as it was unveiled. I'd be willing to bet that the majority of the fanbase yearns for a return to teal permanently. The shade of blue is interesting but not that interesting. I love the teal and F logo. The problem with the marlins is, they have a sick obsession with black. It morphed into a silver-black from the original set. Then they redesigned and instead of owning orange and all the bright rainbow colors, it morphed into black. This recent redesign took black to such a new level, they give you a hat logo and overused alt that are nearly illegible. With Miami and sunshine and flashy colors, they literally could have embraced teal OR orange OR this new blue and chose to emphasize black each time 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often wondered since their first WS win (as accidental as that was) if they felt their teal at that time, or either of their other two colors now, are unique enough for their tastes yet too "out there" for them to commit to either or both as a primary. That said, given where we are now where brighter colors are seeming more and more embraced, I hope when they circle the wagon back to the teal, silver and black that they go full-on with it like from '93 to about '96 or so. 3 *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just ruined by the over-emphasis on black. I know most of us appreciate the original teal, as do I, but I'd be just as happy if they kept the current branding but placed more of a focus on the bright colors. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote from the original release about new unis and scoreboards on 9/27: "The team will also introduce a special City Connect uniform, a distinctive and nontraditional look that will emphasize some aspect of Minnesota culture, sometime next summer, but the team won't wear them until 2024." The wording is a bit confusing, as it implies a release in 2023, but an on-field debut in 2024. I just assume that it's an error and they will be released/worn during the 2024 season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I've seen the ad patch/sleeve patch swap going on with another team as well. I think it was the Angels. 1 On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

Looking back, the Marlins got their colours spot on at the first time of asking. Every other new team was using teal at the time, but with the Marlins, it felt right, the teal, black and silver reflected the name of the titular fish. I would be all for a Padres/Blue Jays style update for Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal and black always felt too "cold" looking for a team playing in a warm climate team like Florida. Teal and orange would create some nice visual synergy with the Dolphins and make for a nice combination of their 1993-2011 and 2012-2018 eras. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would keep the black, it pairs with the teal nicely and the sleeveless jerseys looked great paired with a black undershirt. I wouldn't mind adding orange or pink as an accent colour for logos, but teal and black should be the main colours. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewG70 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 For the Rangers, the red jerseys are the odd ones out. Rangers PR says the team will wear white and powder blue at home; gray and royal blue on the road. Red caps will still be worn on occasion at home. 1 The (unofficial) NHL Uniform DatabaseThe WHA Uniform Database Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
