Miami Marlins Logo?

i swear the Canes have used the same font across the chest, just not vertically arched. That part has to change.

The Marlin itself, looks like it was cribbed from the old Dolphin Stadium logo. The M, I’m fine with, stylistically. Colors, put the blue on the top part of the fish, make the yellow metallic gold, and less coral in the orange. A sea blue, orange, and gold scheme, could work.

esp the yellow

That is the ugliest thing I have ever laid eyes on.

They leaked the most hideous design they could come up with so that when their actual new logo is released, we’ll all be so relieved it isn’t this that we’ll embrace whatever slap in the face of our team’s history they’ve actually come up with.

That’s kind of sleek. But I’d image the nausea that the colors, M, and “Marlins” are making me feel are similar to that that Tranghese of the Big East feels about the ACC’s expansion plans.

Not too similar to Megamind…

That would be a total fail. They better not get rid of the stripes. Love the new ballpark.

Black & Teal. I love the teal. I remember when the team first existed, and they took over the minor league team in my town (Elmira, NY). I looooooooved the teal. It felt tropical, it felt unique for a team, it looked cool. They remove that, and they remove a piece of their legacy now. I mean com’on… both Marlins world champion teams featured the black & teal look combination. Do you really want to distance yourself from that? The new color combination, if accurate, looks like a joke. Reminds me of the old Tampa Bay Devil Rays… and nobody really liked that for long. So they changed it.

I hope they don’t take the black and teal. The Diamondbacks should not have changed their colors, and the Marlins should not either. I absolutely cannot picture that logo on an actual baseball cap or uniform.

Do I buy all my Marlins gear now to have for future seasons while the colors and logo are still attractive? Or should I bank on all that stuff hitting the clearance rack when the new logo is released and get everything at a discount? Is it worth the gamble?

That M looks like Mario’s hat for some reason

seems it is actually it.

I feel offended as a Caucasian and refuse to support this team, they cater more to the hispanics.

I mean, the more I look at it, the more I can see that painted on a wall in the concourse somewhere and it doesn’t bother me. I cannot imagine that thing on a hat. There’s no way that thing looks good on an article of clothing.

I will never purchase “new” Marlins gear with this logo on it. Never.

Is that this is going to be Marlins’ version of the Yellow Rainbow jerseys that the Astros wore in the 70s. It’s appalling now, but in a couple of years they’ll go back to a more… reasonable… design, then a few years later it’ll be seen as “kitchy” and “retro.”

An official (sort of) petition not to abandon Black and Teal and not to use this logo…

Loria, if you have made this the future of this franchise I swear to God I am becoming a Phillies fan!!
And now some random thoughts….
- It looks like Loria went looking for inspiration and got lost in a certain area of south beach.
- I just threw up in places I didn’t know I had.
- Samson’s movie review segment on the Le Batard show will now forever more be referred to as Men on Film: Miami
- Put this Sh!t back in the avant garde art museum where Loria found it.
- Change we can’t believe in
- ESPN has officially begun rearranging their critiques of the new University of Maryland uniforms to be applied to the Marlins uniforms.
- 11/11/11: A date which will live in infamy . . . and standup routines.
- Suddenly, the 2000 Presidential election screw up doesn’t seem so bad.
- The city of Miami announced its, “Get people to move back north” strategy a month and a half early.
- Dear Mr. Loria, please pass me whatever you have been smoking
- See kids, drugs really are bad.
- Florida Panthers bring back the red, Miami Marlins give us this. The race to contraction is on and the fish are out to a BIG lead!!!
- Things that make you go “UGH!”
- I may not know art, but Loria doesn’t know baseball logos.
- Anyone want to bet those “Worst uniforms ever” lists just got a new entrant?
- Soembody wearing one of those old Houston Astros jerseys just laughed at us.
- WTF is with the yellow? Are we trying to incorporate the foul poles??
- Ebay sales of old Marlins jerseys are going to spike after November 11th.

To be fair, I hate the Marlins with a passion but like the poster said, the Marlins should always be black and teal. I hope for your guys sake that this is just a prototype design.

so it looks like the marlin is jumping out of a wave. And no yellow.

“The more I look at it, the more I like it.”

Again, not a Marlins fan. Not from Florida. Haven’t even ever been to Miami.

The biggest error is the colors. The old teal screams Miami. It is Miami. It’s instantly recognizable. The color itself, in the context of baseball, is a brand. Also, having three “primary” (i.e., not white/black/silver trim) is a huge logo fail. It just looks like junk. Any kid would look at it and tell you that it doesn’t mesh.

The shape of the “M” is an embarrassment in and of itself, but I don’t have much advice there other than “pick a different font.”

::ducks for cover::

says they have confirmation that it is legit.

Took a nap during last night’s Mets game and woke up to find a few dozen e-mails from people telling me about the logo you see at right, which apparently began circulating whilst I was dozing (click on it to see a larger version). Is it legit? I honestly have no idea. Yes, I’ve confirmed that it is. Is it any good? Remove the wordmark and put the logo on white background and it might not be the worst thing in the world.

orange and yellow, clownish, and of course an ‘M’

My retinas are now irreversibly damaged by this new logo. Seriously, which fans will this attract? Those who have seen Major League might be thinking like I am. Like this is a stunt to drive revenue so low to allow relocation.

RT @SedanoShow Did a 1 on 1 interview w/David Samson, He told me new #Marlins logo in paper is inaccurate & no further comment

Ok. Samson is playing coy; No, that is not the new Marlins logo, per se. The image is taken from a sample style sheet of t-shirt designs for next season; the wordmark atop is generic for all teams.

The logo on the image IS the cap logo for the black caps, colors a bit diff. on the orange lids

The primary wordmark is in the same font(Century Gothic Bold?) as the cap logo, ’cept swap the white for black.

Home whites, Road greys will read MIAMI
Black alts, Orange alts read MARLINS
slight color variations on the beveling, depending on the coordinating background color.

Dont forget the silver trim, and the possibility that all the colored stitching is metallic.

I have a couple of other variations I’ve added here , if anyone is interested.

but… the teal makes the marlins uniform and logo very unique. I don’t know what place orange has on their uniform.

Again, read my comment.

That’s what it is. It is in the 2012 MLB Style Guide.

The other image someone, with the red/blue/green beveling, is a photoshop job of the original image, you can see it on the beveling and the fish.

It just makes me feel so happy
