Dexter Morgan Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 David Samson told us that teal won't be included in the Miami Marlins color scheme. This infuriates me!Thoughts?Maybe the royal blue seats in the renderings of the new stadium are an indication of what color they are leaning towards. Personally I think they should go with a green color for it's primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouj Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 The logo behind home plate looks like Navy, Lt Blue and white.Looks teal to me...It looks like they threw the current logo on the field. Considering how protective MLB Properties is of their new brand identities, it's very unlikely that the Marlins would just throw out the new logo/colors/identity package without a big announcement. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpawstu19 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 first off, lets clear this up. the marlins type behind home plate is the current color scheme and name font and was done to just show where some art could be placed on the field. personally, i think that the seat color could change as well and was also just a neutral color put in for the rendering. ive stated somewhere that i think the marlins will be going with a silver and orange scheme. the orange keeps popping up everywhere, from posters to flags to what have you. silver is a color that is already in the marlins logo and no one in the majors uses it (the white sox kind of use silver/gray). i am sure the black will stay an accent color. but, for now they are keeping it pretty hush as ive heard no direction other then not teal.

The_Admiral Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 silver is a color that is already in the marlins logo and no one in the majors uses it (the white sox kind of use silver/gray).The Rockies use silver too. So do the Angels. The Marlins are making an awful mistake, especially if they're going with orange and black. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same Silver that the Marlins also use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 The Marlins had a great color scheme and uniform, once. But they've been systematically chipping away from it, downgrading the teal in favor of black, adding unnecessary outlines and in general cluttering up the uniform.This is only the latest in a long line of poor design choices. Go back to the originals, teal caps and all, and you've got a winner. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheo25 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'll pass on teal, and I hope they phase it out completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember the owner saying something along the lines of he wanted to go with "what sells, and that's silver and black" or something like that--then orange gets mixed in there.You'd think that, with the guy having a thing for artwork, he'd have a bit more of a color sense. Guess not. *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...

NJTank Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 No that would be bad, Teal works for aquatuic teams and the last I looked the Marlins were a fish www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sec19Row53 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Maybe the royal blue seats in the renderings of the new stadium are an indication of what color they are leaning towards. Meh. Logically that makes sense, but it's not a lock. In fact, it points out one of my biggest gripes about Miller Park. The seats and structural work are green, while the team is blue. The outfield fencing used to be green, until it got changed for either the All Star Game or Mr. 3000. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Creole blue, silver, orange, and black. Make it happen.

Everything from the seats, dugouts, and signs were green with green being one of the few colors the astros have never used in their color scheme. The dugout tops were switched to red for the all star game and all the signs and marking were switched to red about 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 only color scheme I can think would work is light green and orange. I really wanted to see teal and orange...but one time I did a concept of that and people didnt like it too much.and the blue seats might be creating an ocean theme? mayhaps? just a thought. kind of clever if that was the intention.

Go back to the originals, teal caps and all, and you've got a winner.Bingo! Simply rename the franchise the Miami Marlins, swap-out "Florida" for "Miami" and the "F" for an "M" on garments/merchandise, and go back to the team's original uniforms. Done. Perfection. Call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Well, we knew this was coming. Doesn't make it any easier now that it's "official." Odd that such an official statement from May 29 was missed until now. I agree with those that want the teal to return. If not to 1993 form, then at least 1997-2002. Too bad. But as I've said here before, it could always make a triumphant return. (And fans won't stop wearing it -- seems to be an endless supply of the old teal caps down there.)
