marlinfan Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 The worst rumor I've heard is that the cap is Expos pinwheel style. Can I just get a simple yes or no on this? This is my worst nightmare. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to see it go.Agreed, I love the teal on the Marlins and it fits them so well. No other MLB teams use teal also, so it should be an obvious decision to keep the teal for the Marlins, but all signs point towards no teal in the new look. Hopefully those signs are wrong and the Marlins keep the teal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Guys, quit lamenting the death of the Marlins' teal like the Dolphins are going to start dressing as the '76 Buccaneers. They effectively stopped wearing teal like eight years ago! Yeah, I'm really going to miss the thin teal trim between the silver and black trim around the black or silver scripts/names/numbers. Or how about the little bit of teal on the cap monogram? I don't want to live in a world where I can't stand three feet away from a Florida Marlins hat and notice that some of the non-silver, non-black embroidery is teal.I'm bummed that they're going to go with all orange, because I think that's what the Astros should be doing instead. The rainbow stuff we divined from the stadium signage would've been really cool. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully those signs are wrong and the Marlins keep the teal.?I know Colorwerx should be confirming this but I believe that this ISN'T quite teal but instead its "Northwest Green" or something like that. It could be splitting hairs, but I've seen about a billion different photos over the years of the team wearing this color and it seems to be a different shade in each photo (more blue, more green, bluish green, etc.) I would love to know if this qualifies as teal, because I always thought teal has more of a blue hue and aqua had more of a green hue to it and I thought that the Marlins were the first and only MLB team to utilize teal in their uniforms.

I too defer to CWx for the official ruling. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So at least for cap purposes (in recent years) they are both teal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnySeoul Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 They effectively stopped wearing teal like eight years ago!Maybe my eyes are failing me, but I see an effective use of teal in their 2011 uni's.

It works great as a secondary color with black.I guess that depends on your definition of "effective". I'm with the Admiral on this.

It works great as a secondary color with black.I don't know if using teal as an accent color can really be considered as "using" teal; especially when one of the primary colors the team prominently utilized when it first came on the scene was...well...TEAL.

Eye Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 No, this is an effective use of teal:The Marlins should have never stopped embracing the teal.I don't know when these pictures were taken, but they only put teal to good use starting in 1996; the 1993-1995 set used too much teal. The shade of teal the Marlins use isn't good enough to be used in big areas (cap, helmet, undershirt) because it's gaudy. The 1996-1999 uniforms were the best for them because of the limited, but not overuse of teal.The Mariners are the only team that look good in a teal uniform.

powersurge Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I think if you mixed and matched certain jerseys with the right hats you could come up with a look that would trump anything they've worn before. For example, those Sheffield era sleeveless jerseys would look best with the black hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
