JayJaxon Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Are they just banking on the fact that the 14 people that actually go to Marlins games won't care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Horrible all around. The Marlins should just darken their teal to a Jaguars/Sharks sort of teal so they won't have to be so ashamed of wearing it. Enough with the silver and black already. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proc Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 It looked like a beer-league softball game with those dark jerseys on both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Scheduling miscommunication? Or was this intentional? In baseball I guess you can get away with it, since it's kind of easy to figure out who the baserunners are, and who your own teammates are, but in any other sport this wouldn't fly at all.

mydogisgomez Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I really hate this! Is it too hard to have some communication so both teams don't look the same. True, in baseball it is not as big a deal as in other sports, but why were there ever road and home uni's to begin with if it didn't matter? Especially now that every team has at least 3 looks, there is no way this should happen. It's just so little league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 If the Rockies had come to town and wanted to wear their black alternate, they would not be allowed to because it's the same color as the Marlins set. But since Atlanta's jersey is dark blue, they can. That is a deep blue color though and really is close enough to where they should just wear the regular road uniform. But maybe they think the same thing I do. The solid blue cap doesn't work with the regular road uniform. I do notice them wearing that blue uniform a lot more this year.

Drew22 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Watching the game, it wasn't too hard to tell who was who. The pants made it really obvious, and the navy compared to black were different enough. Eagles/Heels/Dawgs/Falcons/Hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouj Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Watching the game, it wasn't too hard to tell who was who. The pants made it really obvious, and the navy compared to black were different enough.This is on the Braves' equipment manager. MLB told all the teams last year not to wear similar color jerseys in the same game. Home teams get first-choice. I think it was the A's equipment manager who gave some fluff piece interview about it last season and went on about how they intentionally tried to push it by wearing the dark greens against a black-clad team. I guess they try to get away with it by saying, "Well, it's not THE SAME, so it's OK!" Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecticbro Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 This sort of thing seems to happen a few times every season, and often it's worse than black/pinstripes and blue/grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Braves have basically become the Astros; they've probably worn their grey jersey once, and it was so that they wouldn't clash with the Pirates in their black alternates...which probably means that this was a communication error.

hormone Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 How can the Marlins constantly wear black, the Hurricanes orange or dark green, but Aqua is too hot for the Dolphins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough with the silver and black already.No, the Marlins' aqua is perfect. Their original uniforms were beautiful. Even after they switched to the black hats full time, they still looked great. No need to change the color, but yes to eliminating the silver and marginalizing the black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Oh, I liked the aqua too, but if they feel it's too much of a 1990s relic to be worn, then a darker teal could be a compromise. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 These dark jerseys are ugly and getting ridiculous. It just looks like Spring Training, 24/, 365. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
