October 21, 200817 yr I'm sure I'm not the only person who read this on the Marlins website The team also has talked about getting a new look, meaning a revised uniform. Exactly how that would look is a mystery, and it, too, is a few years away. I know a number of fans like the teal from the early years of the franchise, but that color has been downplayed since 2003. Perhaps there will be a touch of teal in the new uniforms down the road, but unless there is a change of thinking within the organization, I don't think teal will be a prominent color. Now I don't want to assume everyone else's opinion on this matter, but speaking for myself, I don't want to see the team's color(s) changed. I'm already disgusted with all the orange as it is, Florida has enough teams (Dolphins, Hurricanes, Gators,..) with orange, as does MLB (Giants, Mets, Orioles). I don't want to see our team just look like a bunch of other teams in baseball, like the 20 teams who wear red or blue. While I can certainly respect the wishes of those who don't want the team wearing the all teal Jerseys again, I don't know anyone who actually like all this orange and such that seems to be pushing on us. So while I'd like to maybe do a more formal and serious petition to try to keep the Marlins teal, I'd like to know how everyone else feels about it. Bleh, and I already screwed it up by accidentally voting yes on #2 in my haste...
October 21, 200817 yr I've always liked the teal, just not too much of it. The early teal uniforms and hats were way too loud, but at the same time I could do without the black uniforms and hats. Black is a little too bland IMO. Orange is the absolute worst color for a baseball team...I seriously hope we don't include orange. I would be in favor of going to an aqua blue type of color.
October 21, 200817 yr Author Maybe I'll try collecting signatures at some games next season, see if we can keep management from screwing things up.
October 21, 200817 yr wow, someone actually voted for orange. i think there should be teal but not too much
October 21, 200817 yr Author wow, someone actually voted for orange. i think there should be teal but not too much It was an accident, it was me.... So no, not really, it should be read as 10 - 0 against orange

October 21, 200817 yr I think anyone who votes for orange should be banned from MB.com for life. :mischief
October 21, 200817 yr wow, someone actually voted for orange. You'd be surprised at how much bad taste there is in the world. Believe it or not, some people actually liked the ugly purple uniforms the D-Backs used to wear and others liked the hideous green things Tampa Bay used to wear.
October 21, 200817 yr I've never liked orange for the Marlins. Teal has been a team color since the beginning. Keep the teal! Get rid of the orange! My bridesmaids are planning my wedding shower. It will be Marlins themed and I specifically said no orange.
October 21, 200817 yr wow, someone actually voted for orange. i think there should be teal but not too much It was an accident, it was me.... So no, not really, it should be read as 10 - 0 against orange oh okay
October 21, 200817 yr I like the uniforms the way they currently are although I know they will change something to correspond with the new stadium and name change of the team.
October 21, 200817 yr Author wow, someone actually voted for orange. You'd be surprised at how much bad taste there is in the world. Believe it or not, some people actually liked the ugly purple uniforms the D-Backs used to wear and others liked the hideous green things Tampa Bay used to wear. I don't think it's that so many people liked their old unis as much as it was that it seems lame to have another team in red and another one in blue, to along with the other 20 such teams. Purple & Green, at least as colors, were better IMO for them just because they wouldn't look exactly like half the teams in baseball. Just the same, I don't want to look like the Orioles or *puke* the Mets.

October 21, 200817 yr The uniform should have teal but not too much of it that's overpowering. Ohhh god...NO ORANGE!!!

Fair enough, but my point isn't that the uniforms are better or worse. Besides, is the reason that they are better or worse because they are red or blue? You could have new and better looking uniforms without changing team colors.
October 21, 200817 yr YAY! 2 votes for orange now :mischief Go to HELL!! :thumbdown I'll be wearing my orange Hanley Ramirez jersey when i get there :mischief
