scottysprings Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I don't mind black in a color scheme like the Marlins', as long as it's not black with blue which just looks terrible (see 90s & 2000s Mets, late 90s Knicks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlinfan Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 As per the Marlins telecast:-Organization chooses which uniforms to wear-Expect black on Fridays at home-Orange for day games at home 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpawstu19 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 so we have seen the orange cap only one time. we know they intend to use it because of the fact that they have an orange helmet...but when are they going to wear them? is it going to be random? cause if random is the case, then we have seen almost all the uniform combinations and still no orange hat since the opener.

BigBubba Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 That second from the left logo reminds me of something transportation based. Like I would see it on an airplane, or the side of an 18 wheeler.They all look like they were trying to design a logo for a mall or a transit system. Only the full-bodied marlin in the middle looks decent for a team logo.YES.Something had been bugging me about most of those, but I couldn't place what. You've nailed it, they all look like they should be on the side of buses.I think they would fit in perfectly on the side of one of those white trucks.And I don't remember this being mentioned, but their logo reminds me a lot of the Bowie Baysox (which uses copperplate; better go post that in the copperplate scavenger hunt thread). Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsox Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 There's a good article in SBJ about the design process for the uniforms. The Marlins originally wanted a more abstract Marlins resembling the Nike swoosh and 7 primary colors. A focus group forced them to tone down the number of colors. The initial design went through 29 variations. It has a few early drafts too.I'd absolutely love to read this article. But I'm not paying $259 to subscribe to read it, and they're one of those oh-so-savory-and-trustworthy paywalled newssites that give non-functional trial subscriptions. If they didn't require a full year at a time and/or allowed me to truly see what they're capable of, I might very well have given up the money for it. Instead, I'm hoping that their crap business practice and clear non-understanding of digital content distribution bites them in the ass.I believe the free trial is a week delayed, you may be able to read them now-Never the less, No fan wants it to happen to their team ? not in their backyard.Whenever a pro team introduces a new primary logo, the reaction is immediate, virulent and unmistakably negative. So when the Miami (nee Florida) Marlins? new logo was leaked last October, much of the digital sport logo hoi polloi pounded on the trademark like they would a mouse if it appeared in a children?s nursery.Need evidence? At the risk of lending credibility to any of these outlets, here?s a sampling of the initial response.[snipping full article.]To the mods' edit- it's not longer a paid article. It's part of a free trial. Nevertheless--- I won't repost it.What's up with the third one in from the right? Is it supposed to look like pelicans or some other tropical bird (toucan?). Weird. Really weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I was a pretty big fan of the Marlins logo and uniforms when they came out. But the more I see them on TV, the more I'm starting to dislike them. I honestly cannot say why, but there's just something about them on the field that seems off. Am I the only one feeling this way?I think it might be the number font that has no business withy the rest of the set. I wish they would've used more blue and introduced a blue cap. Also the piping looks kinda weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sit in the actually bowl if you want to get that experience. This is the first time Ive actually heard the seats referred to as "purplish". Perplexing considering they are a deep blue.

The Expos organization that MLB bought was an empty husk.

Besides, Lora traded some of the expos assets to Florida, John Henry took some of the marlins assets to Boston in the same transaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I thought the grays looked great tonight. Might be my favorite of the entire set. It definitely looks better with high socks, see Jose Reyes for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Definitely think a black script would look better. I really liked this set when it was first unveiled but now it's starting to look dumb too me. Too many things that need tweaks. facebook | @thebugcollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
