14er Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Anyone else notice that the fish on the tickets is blue on top/orange on bottom, but that the logo we've seen and the uniforms appear to have a fish with orange on top/blue on bottom?

Magnum Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 The fish has orange on top and blue on the bottom on the jersey in that pic though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanesCop86 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Maybe a different script for a different jersey. Maybe for an orange jersey, considering the script is mostly blue looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I hate it. Looks worse than I thought. They should have gone with something like this(put it on every letter). They should also flip the Marlin so that it's coming across the front of the 'M'. Very disappointed.Overkill man. Gotta known when too much is too much. A mascot doesn't need to be repeated within a single wordmark. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve03Merc Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Reminds me of something from a movie that doesn't have official licensing rights. Those teams always seem to have names and uniforms based on local things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marlin is still way too abstract, but at this point, that's about the only qualm. And Miami on the home, at least for a season, makes sense. It's to establish a location name change after 19 seasons as Florida, unlike the Rays putting Rays on the roads when Rays had appeared on their home uniforms their entire existence, with Devil above it for only the first few seasons. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hat should be light blue. Otherwise, I'm okay with it. 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...
larrypep Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Doesn't really look bad at all, blurry picture and all. Can't wait til tomorrow. Still want to see the creamsicle hats and jerseys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not identically located on actual letters. Plus they're balanced out on the ends aswear these marlins are not balanced, one on the end and the other not quite in the middle but not at the end either. And both of the facing the same way doesn't help. And it just doesn't look good either. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I'll wait to pass judgment until I see clear pictures of all the uniforms and hats. But that doesn't look too bad from what we can see. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I'm glad that only the first M has the rainbow motif. The others letters on the jerseys appear to be only black with some orange. That alone is a glimpse of hope to me that their new jerseys may look just okay at worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 While I think the entire identity might be good, and I like the M itself, the marlin is :censored:ing terrible. You can't use such an abstract logo as a mascot for a sports team. The M with the marlin swoosh works for Marlin Office Supply Co., Marlin Graphic Solutions, and Marlin Heating and Cooling, but not for the Miami Marlins professional baseball team.Why not, exactly? Simple, abstract logos can work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mascot doesn't need to be repeated within a single wordmark.The mix of colors and how they're arranged, particularly on the jersey remind me of the old blue/red/black 3D comic books if you read them without the 3D glasses. They're just a busy mess. Kinda the antithesis of what people accused the Padres of being. If the Pads were bland then these are abnoxiously loud and tasteless. Shame too considering what they're replacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding a balance between an abstract logo and a silhouette logo would've been more ideal. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
