Gothamite Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 From today's Uni Watch comes this tidbit:Tyler Kepner is at the MLB winter meetings, where he spotted something very interesting: a Marlins batting helmet with a raised/embroidered logo, just like the one used by the Cubs. I?m trying to confirm whether this was just for display purposes or if the Marlins will be going with this logo format on the field, but I?m pretty sure it?s the latter.

BBTV Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I just don't like that. The stitching just clashes with the smooth plastic of the helmet.I actually think that raised logos on helmets are a cool idea, but they should be either super-thick decals or rubberized or something.

Gothamite Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 The patch looks good on the Cubs. I think I'll need to see how this one looks on the field. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Isn't the Cubs more like a felt patch rather than detailed stitching? Either way, the "shine" of the batting helmet just doesn't work with the flatness of the embroidery.

ltjets21 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Team Japan had matte helmets with a raised rubber logo, lookks pretty good.http://www.worldbaseballclassic.com/images/2009/03/03/x4XuEHsg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltere Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 IF that's real, it seems huge for a batting helmet logo, but then the cap logo is pretty oversized as well, why the big logos? They look ugly. Also an embroidered helmet decal just feels kinda 'old school' to me, and makes it clash massively with the rest of the Marlin's 'modern' attempt at a rebrand.

Gothamite Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I thought the Cubs logo was similar, an embroidered patch. Can't put my hands on a good photo at the moment. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpawstu19 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 i wonder if they will have the metallic paint in the back of the helmet again like they have for the last few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZapRowsdower8 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I apologize if this has been mentioned before, but I just noticed that the MLB logo on the back of the black hats is black and orange while it is blue and orange on the orange hats. As far as I know every other team only has one MLB logo in team colors regardless of what jersey or cap it goes on. I'm I correct in thinking this?

IMO the squared-off edges of the new white panel is not a good look, because from the front it makes it look like the entire crown of the helmet is white. Ugh. From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo.

larrypep Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I picked up an orange road cap today at the local Hat Club (along with an Orioles road cap). The Marlins cap is really bright orange, sort of like the color of prison uniforms (lol), but it really looks sharp IMO. The "M", while looking oversized on the black cap really seems ok on the orange cap - the bright orange sort of offsets the hugeness of the logo (which in and of itself doesn't really bother me that much). I really dig the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piratesfan16 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 How I feel the wordmark should have been rendered:If they did this, then it would be a complete win.So close. Make the 'A' a tad wider and get rid of the yellow. Other than that, perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I like the gold. My only complaint with that rendering is that the top level on the "I"s should be gold, not orange.
