JohnnySeoul Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I would buy that cap in a heartbeat.I doubt people will dish out $35 to $40 for that. Saying you'll buy and actually do it.....time will tell. The ONLY way this crappy logo catches on is if the Marlins pay a few hiphop artists to wear them so it becomes "cool", regardless of how horrible that logo and cap are.

IceCap Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 That cap's pretty neat actually. Yeah, it's got kind of a pseudo-80s/early 90s vibe, but that seems perfect for Miami to me for some reason.

Norva Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 At first I didn't know what to think, kind of a WTF thing. But it has really started growing on me, I like it a lot. It really fits with Miami's vibe, it's colorful (rare these days in baseball), simple and iconic. I like it a lot even if it does kind of look better suited for a resort then a baseball team.

Yes, it IS "Miami" when it was the 80's, but this is 2K and it doesn't truly reflect the current culture there or Ft Lauderdale. I lived in southern fl from 97-01 and then just north of Miami from 06-08 and times have greatly changed. IMO, it just seems: A) The designers aren't from the area. B ) The owner is stuck in time. C) Both A and B.I don't think I've ever hated a logo and idea this badly ever...I'm developing a passion of hatred for this, WTF. lol JohnnySeoul's WikipageIF ONE IS CONSIDERED RACIST, THEN BOTH MUST BE CONSIDERED RACIST.BOTTOM LINE: NEITHER ONE IS RACIST.

marlinfan Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 The more I see the cap logo and the script concepts the more excited I am about this. The 80s look is cliche but the abstract sunset is winner. The cap would look better without the marlin on it. I would have loved something along the lines of a modernized Miami Marlins set, but it would have clashed in a modern ballpark. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The art deco style itself is contained In a small area on South Beach. All the new high rises are very modern designs with blue or green glass. The new ballpark is very much in line with this style. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnySeoul Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 The ballpark, possibly. But that doesn't reflect the people. A perfect example is the 90's Cleveland Cavaliers artistic logo and colors. It was suppose to reflect the brand new Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame and therefore the Cleveland citizens. How well did that work out? This is no different. JohnnySeoul's WikipageIF ONE IS CONSIDERED RACIST, THEN BOTH MUST BE CONSIDERED RACIST.BOTTOM LINE: NEITHER ONE IS RACIST.

GuitarPunk2512 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 i can live with the basic block font for the M with crazy contrasting colors, but that over-simplistic marlin shaped thing looks horrible. the original marlin was amazing looking, that just looks like crap.

Melenhead Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 If they made a version of the swoosh marlin around a letter F instead of an M, it would look like this...Agreed. Big time FAIL. I'm a Marlins fan since day one and enjoyed the teal & black. It is unique in baseball while giving a classy nod to the tropicall Miami flare. This proposed logo is a leftover from miami 80's art deco. I despise having an art collector as an owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 It's kind of funny (and appropriate, I guess) that the OKC Thunder and Miami Marlins share (pretty much) the color scheme. And both have nonsensical orange and light blue swooshes. I guess slightly less nonsensical for the Marlins, but still, overall, nonsensical.

knnhrvy16 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I would buy that cap in a heartbeat.I doubt people will dish out $35 to $40 for that. People already do for fashion caps that are MUCH gaudier. Take a look around at what kinds of caps are being worn these days....This cap will sell. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only.

JohnnySeoul Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 ^ No, it won't. Perhaps in the beginning because of the excitement behind it being "new". But not beyond that.

M4One Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 The more I look at that logo, the more I realize that it doesn't look like a sports logo, but something the city of Miami would put on their letterhead or a corporate logo. Either way, still bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
