New Marlins uniforms (split from Sign Reyes Now)

The new Marlins unis are leaked before tomorrow's fashion show. This is what Jose could be wearing, essentially another set of major league pajamas. http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/ ... _may_h.php

Contrasting orange sherbet belts. Very seventies. I expect that look from Doug DeCinces and the 1978 Orioles.

I've seen cat puke that is better looking.

They're not too bad. I kinda like the orange cap with the yellow brim.

that orange hat has a yellow dot. the other three all appear to have orange dots. i think i need to see them in real life to get a feel for how i actually feel about them. i can't tell if i like them, or think them to be hideous. at the very least, i like that they're trying so damned hard. i think.

The multicolored letters might be too much up close but I'm digging the orange/yellow and orange undershirt looks, and I kinda like the blue hat too.

At first blush they are very Baltimore-ish looking.

Before Miami Vice said, "And her name is Miami, and she and all of Florida by extension shall be represented by teal and other Cuban pastels," orange was the color of Florida. Your typical map of the US from back when would render Florida in orange, I assume because that's where oranges (and grapefruits!) came from. A selective survey says: If Miami wants their uniforms to speak of the industry of the region instead of just the style, I'm OK with that. Maybe it's a sign that we want to represent ourselves as a people defined by what we produce, rather than just by what we consume.

New York appears to be shit brown in the bottom map.

They look like the University of Miami Hurricanes.

I love Florida. It's America's cock.

The "leak" you're seeing is a "concept" by someone on the Chris Creamer Sports Logos forum. Another forum member who had seen the new uniforms said some of the ideas in the real ones were similar, but they won't be exactly like that. We'll know for sure on Friday.

I'm pretty sure they're going to be drenched in orange. Check out their website - it's everywhere.

Here are some leaked images of the orange alt and the jacket. The concept was pretty close! [url]http://www.sportslogos.net/blog/2011/11/11/marlins-alt-uniform-leaks-early/

I don't mind the orange - in fact it's about time someone went up against the same old blue/red mafia. I just think the M looks stupid, like it was designed by either a 4th grader or by city gov't for the cross-town bus.

TransMonk Nov 11 2011 03:07 PM Re: New Marlins uniforms (split from Sign Reyes Now)

I still think they are fugly as hell.
