I know I'm beating a dead horse here with this thread which is why I am requesting to have this thread pinned. Moderator, please feel free to move this thread to another forum if you deem it necessary. I wanted to make this thread so that all discussions/ideas concerning the Marlins uniforms can be found in one place. That way we won't have posters starting 'New Marlins Uniforms' threads every hour. I also have a couple of ideas of my own which I will now upload. What I did here was download the current uniform templates off of Chris Creamer's logo site, and made basic color adjustments using Paint. Keep in mind that what I did was very basic, seeing as I am at work with no graphic programs. I know we're changing up the logo a bit, but what I wanted to illustrate is how a new color scheme would look on the current uniform style. I made a custom teal/blue with the following settings: Hue 129, Saturation 240, Lum 47, Red 0, Green 78, Blue 100. Using that color I tried to replace all BLACK with this new MARLIN BLUE. I then took a simple orange color and replaced all current teal with it. These are the results: Home Road Alternate Let me know what you guys think! ETA: Also, keep in mind that I made these at 24-bit BMP files and the quality faded a bit when I uploaded them to photobucket as jpg files. So please excuse the poor quality!!

I'm so sick of the black. It is overdone, and IMO quite boring. You've got the Mets, Rockies, White Sox, Black Jays, Giants, Orioles (who we will resemble if we go black/gray/orange... halloween uniforms), Pirates, Astros, and the Reds all using black either as a primary or hat color. The Diamondbacks used to wear black until they wised up and finally decided to be different. We talk about the Marlins being unique... well where is the uniqueness? A third of the entire MLB uses black. Why not re-vamp the teal? Make it a darker/blueish shade? Something like what the Seattle Seahawks wear. And as much as the old teal is loved by old timers, its too bright. >>>>>>

yyyyeah I'm not touching any of these two.... Just hoping for the best! :thumbup

Lindstrom giving us shades of 'Former-Closer-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named'... When was Voldemort our fireman? This guy.... :shudders:

Lindstrom giving us shades of 'Former-Closer-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named'... I've been listening on the iPhone app. I want to see a replay of that Brett Carroll catch. Anyhow...

Marlins Win!!! You know what that means....

I'm pumped!

Orange. Better yet Bucs popsicle color. NO MORE BLACK +1

I've heard that Tampa is where he wants to play. It being his hometown, and of course Tampa being in the WS last year also doesn't hurt.

I say bring him in. He's a throwback, and he's our best shot at getting someone into the HOF as a 'Marlin'. Bringing him back will have nothing to do with his hall eligibility. Yeah but if he does get inducted I think it would all but insure that he goes in as a Marlin. I think right now if he were to be inducted there would be some debate on which team he would represent. He won his ring here, he said this was his favorite place to play, I think if goes in he picks Florida I don't think players gets to pick what team they go in as.

I like the look of that Marlin, except it shouldn't have orange on the fish. I think whenever a fish/animal is represented in a logo, it should strive to look like the real thing. A Marlins doesn't have any orange. The rest of it I like though. A little bit of orange. :thumbup I always thought the teal should have somewhat of a blue shade like the Atlantic Blue Marlin.

This morning uniwatchblog had an interesting take on what the new Marlins uni's could look like. Here are pics. Home Alternate Road The main idea was to get rid of the 'black' which I couldn't agree more with. I think they are interesting. I would miss the pinstripes, and the current typeface (I love the tail on the Marlins logo!!). But still, interesting nonetheless.

Two myths debunked tonight: 1) Marlins can only beat bad teams. 2) Andrew Miller is not ready.

Can't wait to actually watch the game tomorrow morning at work via MLB.TV!!

Anybody know anything? I can't seem to find any info on him.

Anyone remember the throwbacks they wore in 2002 with the orange and blue? Will they wear them again? :mis2 Uh, is there a picture or something of that? Because I don't think I've ever seen these 'throwbacks' you speak of.

I believe two weeks ago the espn.com power rankings had a statement about Hendrickson stating something to the effect of "He won't be in the rotation come May. He's won three straight.
