marlinfan Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 An extremely (I don't know how much more emphasis I can put on extremely) reliable source in the Marlins Front Office informs me that teal is on the way out as a Marlins primary color, in favor of orange. He didn't give me a time table, but he said it was dependent on the team getting stadium funding later this month from the state.This doesn't surprise me. Every Marlins flyer, magazine or commercial in the last 3 years prominently features orange and black with only little accents of teal. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Yeah, the transistion has seemed to be happening for a while now.The problem is, both teal and orange have been sentenced to the third tier of colors for the Marlins (Black/White, Silver, Teal/Orange). I guess Orange has been in that tier for a while, but in the last few years Teal's been put there.So they can't simply swap Orange for Teal and expect it to be anything near a primary color. Black is their primary color right now. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wman Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 What the heck is wrong with the teal anyway? It's freakin Miami--if teal makes any sense, it makes sense there. Bring back the Whale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatManTC Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 see this is my problem with MLB teams. the ones that have some sort of identity trade it for league uniformity. soon all the teams are just going to wear different shades of gray. by RoscoeUA by gingerbreadman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Two black and orange teams are two enough, if not two too many, in the major leagues.(By the way, Part 1: I hate black and orange because they were the colors of our arch-rivals in high school. That sort of thing stays with you for life.)(By the way, Part 2: I'd like to see the Marlins go with the same colors as the Dolphins. They would work very well for the Marlins.)(By the way, Part 3: And while you're at it, call them the Miami Marlins instead of the Florida Marlins. If there's more than one team in the state, don't use the state's name. Besides, Miami Marlins kind of has a ring to it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kansascityjayhawk4 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 This is great... but I think drop the black. If they want to make orange more of the primary, and if they do in fact, plan to phase out teal completely, it will be one TERRIBLE logo... A marlin can't be orange obviously .KC Jayhawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowBoutThemFins Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 what the hell does orange have to do with a marlin? nothing! so keep it out of the color scheme instead of trying to force it into numerous logos/merchandise. i hate it.

I'm tiring of teams dropping rarer colors in favor of reds and blues, most recently the Diamondbacks.The Marlins should stick with the teal. It's unique.
