November 21, 20178 yr Lighter weight material, I hear it has a dri-fit feel to it, and the logo is recolored and will now be a glossy patch instead of embroidered. Thoughts? [ATTACH]1652._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH]1653._xfImport[/ATTACH]
November 21, 20178 yr Eh it’s alright, don’t hate the recolor initially. I’m just ready for the inevitable rebrand next year. I’m wondering if this rubber decal is sewn on or just a sticker because I imagine it will start peeling off after a while. I will say Colorado’s looks F’ing sweet!
November 21, 20178 yr Author The logo feels like it's just a sticker that you could remove easily but I have to believe that it's stronger than it looks or these things would be flying off left and right. I doubt they'd get away from embroidering unless they were pretty sure these logos were gonna stay on.
November 21, 20178 yr I don't like the coloring. It now looks like a light orange and brighter orange, and the "weave look" reminds me of the batting on the back of a patch/embroidery piece. Looks cheap to me. But going to lighter material that is the dri-fit would be good. Not just a feel but actual.
November 21, 20178 yr bullshit material, New Era finding a way to keep the sales up. Soon the BP caps will much lighter and breezier than ever
November 21, 20178 yr I’m sure that patch is heat pressed on. It will NOT come off. I own an apparel company, and design and produce a lot of headwear. I’m sure that patch has an even layer of hot glue then is heat pressed on. Sounds like it would be easy to remove, but unless you are taking a blow torch to it, it won’t come off. I create fishing apparel that is out in extreme sun conditions and have never seen any patch come off. This is common practice for attaching a patch on. We add one stitch surrounding our patches for extra measures, but I know of many companies that don’t, and don’t have issues. As long as it’s done right, it’ll stay put, unless someone intentionally tries to remove it.
November 21, 20178 yr Author Noticing extra blue. I thought of this too. Besides it all obviously being on a black cap, the logo itself is the first Miami Marlins logo with absolutely zero black. Hopefully that's the sign of a new direction with the logos EXCEPT for one huge issue... because of the timing, these logos for 2018 were not designed by the Jeter Sherman ownership. They're from the previous ownership.

November 22, 20178 yr Will MLB ever be able to go one season without changing BP caps and/or uniforms? Easy money.
November 22, 20178 yr Author Will MLB ever be able to go one season without changing BP caps and/or uniforms? It's smart business especially in today's world.
