SEMOSTLfan Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I went to the Cardinals, Marlins game tonight at Busch and the Marlins were wearing the greys. I thought they went to strictly black on the road. World Champions: 1926 1931 1934 1942 1944 1946 1964 1967 1982 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangdmg Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 No. Grey is the regular road uniform color. Black is the alt uniform for either home or road. The Arizona High School Helmet Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 No. Grey is the regular road uniform color. Black is the alt uniform for either home or road. Gray isn't the regular color for the Marlins. They usually wear the black jerseys, even though it is the alternate. I believe the Marlins wore gray Sunday or Monday night as well against the Cards. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray is their road uniform, but it's not their REGULAR road uniform. Same with the Cubs. Regular meaning they wear it on, well, a "regular" basis. If the Cubs wore blue 80 times for away games, I'd say the blue jersey is the regular away uniform, even if it's not the official away uniform. Smart is believing half of what you hear.

yh Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 My guess is they wore the greys (which have not been their "regular" road togs as of late) partly due to the fact that the sun is still pretty strong for the first 2-3 innings in St. Louis and we're having a pretty nasty heat wave - even by Miami standards. Even if it only makes 1-2 degrees difference, it's worth it to wear the lighter color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmocrowe Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I'm pretty sure the starting pitcher picks the jersey for each game. I think that is a tradition they started last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlinfan Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 The gray road uniform has been used a lot more lately. The black is rarely worn anymore. I can't recall the last time the Sunday alternate was worn either.Everyone on the team has been wearing high socks for about a week and a half now as a result of superstition. Todd Jones only does it after the last out is recorded. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, someone from Boca Raton?! Man, I practically lived there for 3 years. I live relatively near there. I drive through it every day! Hell in high school I used to work at Mizner Park.

VitaminD Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 My guess is they wore the greys (which have not been their "regular" road togs as of late) partly due to the fact that the sun is still pretty strong for the first 2-3 innings in St. Louis and we're having a pretty nasty heat wave - even by Miami standards. Even if it only makes 1-2 degrees difference, it's worth it to wear the lighter color. You'd think logic like this would win out, but the last time the Marlins came to Philadelphia, it was 96 degrees at 7p gametime, and 95% humidity. And no wind. Easily the most unbearable day of a brutal heat wave here. And the Marlins wore black because their Double-A call-up wanted to wear black.Without arguine semantics too much, GRAY is the primary color for all MLB teams except the Padres. The fact that teams like the Cubs and Marlins opt to wear their alternates for almost every game does not change how the uniforms are officially designated at the start of the year. I'd rather see MLB step in and limit the use of alternates. They're called alternates for a reason - to be another option, not to be the primary uniform... "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

pflava Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I might have a fuzzy memory, but didn't the Marlins once include teal in their color scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardname Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I might have a fuzzy memory, but didn't the Marlins once include teal in their color scheme? Nope, never happened.Frankly, they started out with TOO much teal (I don't miss the teal hats or the teal alts) but i really, really, really hate how they've ditched it almost completely now.PS.
