Since the tax payers of Miami, and city of Miami officials own most of the ballpark we should be deciding the color of the seats, and have imput on the colors of the uniforms. If you really want the seats to be Teal, then contact your city of Miami government and let them know. If anyone knows how to contact these individuals please feel free to respond.

First of all the City of Miami's contribution to the stadium is minuscule, the County (and tourists) have the heavy bucks in this project so I guess we could go out to MIA and ask everyone as they arrive what color the seats ought to be. :brigginbounce

 

When I first moved here thirty years ago the County Commission spent several lengthy sessions coming up with a dress code for cab drivers which of course was enforced for about two hours before cabbies went back to wearing whatever the hell they wanted. You know what they say, "A camel is a horse designed by a committee...".

 

I respect the passion behind the idea but this is about the last thing you'd want to do if playing baseball at the Orange Bowl site in April 2012 is the goal.

Ridiculous. Let the Marlins choose the colors. The decision will impact the team's bottom line (if at all), not Miami-Dade County.

This thread is ridiculous

 

 

Get over the Teal being gone already! Sure its our color and we'll miss it... But its going to be apart of the clubs history... This allows this club to start tradition. Be happy theres a baseball only stadium, color is really not that big of a deal!

Just drop it already.

Yea man, as much as i love teal, this seems like a worthless battle. The team is deadset on eliminating teal, theres not much we can do. In the long run we just sound like whiny old school fans and will probably not win anyways.

In the grand scheme of things, who gives a sh*t about seat color?

I have a question - are you the same person who is paying for ads on facebook that say "Keep it Teal"?

Teal is going, there is no doubt about that. I like the look of the ocean blue seats that the rendering has shown. I love talking about the Marlins colors and uniform changes but didnt we already have a couple topics on the teal seats?

Who could not? It's tremendously important. Clearly the color of the seats and, for that matter, the uniforms is at least as crucial and integral to winning as is, say, the brand of toilet paper they decide to use in the stadium restrooms or whether they sell Pepsi or Coke at the concessions stands.

Just for the record I am going to say what Marlins2003 alluded to:

 

As the tax payers of Miami, we didn't pay sh*t.

I have a question - are you the same person who is paying for ads on facebook that say "Keep it Teal"?

 

 

 

Nope.

People seemed to be getting really pissed off about the color changes. It seems like there is a new thread every week or so about uniform related changes.

 

I'm sure the front office is aware of the overwhelming preference for keeping the teal (after all, the throwback jerseys supposed sold very well a couple of years ago), and I'm surprised they just don't keep the teal. It doesn't have to be anything like garish like the 1993 uniforms, but rather something that doesn't completely abandon it. I have a feeling that mostly any other ownership group in baseball would have kept roughly the same colors under these circumstances.

I dont care if they switch from teal to swordfish blue or whatever as long as we keep the BLACK. black hats and black alternate jersey. then im good with the change.

Are you kidding me with this garbage??

The team is staying.....get over it already!!
