DG_ThenNowForever Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 At first I hated it, but now I kind of love it. I think the Marlin's in a weird spot, but that M by itself on a hat (that hopefully isn't black) is going to look awfully nice. At this juncture -- before I've seen the uniforms -- it looks like a fresh take on baseball design and that's something we don't get nearly enough of. What's great about the logo is it gives you so many options -- orange hat, blue hat, yellow hat, and so on. We all know there will be a black one, but that alternates should look terrific. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 First leaked on the CCSLCOh really now? Ok so admittedly this is what I LOVE about this place, but any chance you'll get a friendly email/phone call/kicked in front door by two big Italians from Bud and friends at MLB Properties for this, Chris?

Legend Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I like the current Marlin looking like a Marlin.The new one looks like some acid-trip gone wrong, the whole thing does.Light blue? Oh that's refreshing, didn't know any teams use that. The yellow seems out of place.Just looks too abstractish and boring. What is with new logos lacking any depth? Costs too much to print a decent logo? That "marlin" looks stupid.Oh well, I don't expect teams to have good designs anymore so not sure why I'm surprised.

BBTV Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Kind of odd how the gray borders the entire M, but not the entire fish.Also, I think it'd be better if the fish's head was in front of the M and its tail behind it - so basically the opposite of what they have now.

habsfan1 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 You know what? The jerseys may not be terrible after all, depending on what they are going to use. If they use something simple like the script above the M logo and say it's light blue with a black border on the home jersey, it would be okay to me. As long as they don't go insane on color usage on the uniforms, the new logo may grow on me. They could use every color in the rainbow if they want on the logo, but as long as the jerseys are slick, maybe they will get a pass from me.

Bouj Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 The M Fish logo looks nice, but keep in mind that people decried the new uniforms, not just the logo. The Marlins could take what appears to be a perfectly acceptable hat logo and screw it up on the uniforms. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I understand they're looking for a more Miami-esque look, but they had a very unique identity that looked quite good, in which they won 2 World Series titles within their short 18 year existense. I don't see the need for any change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elsephen Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Butt-ugly logo.They said that teal was 80s then roll this thing out? lolThis looks like a modern logo form of the hideous Astros rainbow jerseys. May be ok for a company logo, but not a baseball team. No character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCDuck Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I could get down with the "international abstract" vibe if the whole thing wasn't slathered against a black background. It seems to me like the identity will be 80% black, 20% "other" like their current color scheme - but aside from simply teal as the "other" we'll have some amalgamation of light blue, grey, yellow, and orange.Also the "marlin" still reads as an airplane to me, no matter how many different ways I look at it. Probably because it's going in behind the "M" and doesn't have a tail or lateral fins.Eww. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
