Couldn't they afford one that fits him? Can't even button it up. #cheapnike

Do you keep a list of my desires?

No, just the coffee, in case I ever become your intern and you snap your fingers and say like “hey, where is my coffee?” I’ll know ahead of time. 😂

What is Creamers, is that a coffee related forum? And if it is, I wonder if @SonOfJack is there as well, because I thought he just drinks his coffee with milk and no sugar or cream.

He only takes cream when it's a DP.

Coop looks like he was pissed that they didn't inform him of the photoshoot and decided to burst on the scene like, "fuck this, you like this jersey? Here, I'll show you... HERE!" as he angrily throws it on, not even buttoning it, then blurts out "Take my picture, I'm not gonna be here long anyways.......... I think I just tore my rotator cuff"  

*Cue angry face*

Here's a fashion cap made by Hat Club way back, combining the legacy color scheme with the primary cap logo... what would you guys think if this became the primary Marlins cap?

As a primary, no.  Black bill with the blue there would look nice probably though. I know it’s then no longer inspired by the city look though obviously.

I think the big question for some people is how much do they go away from black? Sounds like you and I would rather it stay. Many want only the other more vibrant colors. I think we need to find the right balance. Our current look is definitely "too black" but I'd be afraid of becoming gaudy with too much of the bright colors.

Yeah not as a full time. It needs the black and not a fan of Red or Orange becoming so prominent again. Blue I’d be more willing to lean on

Are you talking "primary" as in for the city jerseys or primary overall?

 

Either way, no thanks.  It's not even the right blue.

 

As others have said a black bill with the right shade of blue would be fine.

Primary overall. Dropping the black and going full on red and blue. 

I think they just need to scale back the black, emphasize the blue, and use the red sporadically. They definitely need to brighten up their current look which is meant to be vibrant but is only vibrant in certain settings and is actually very dull in most real settings.

It's about finding the right balance of each color.

No for me - there are already too many red and blue teams as it is - like half the league uses red.  The red should be used as it is now (well before these city ones) - an accent at most.  The team has zero history with red (nor did it with orange I guess for that matter), and the "all the flags of locals have red in it" seemed like marketing looking for a reason it was used.  I don't mind the pop of red, though, as an accent.

I've said it many times - I don't understand why they relegate their most unique color - the blue - to marketing material backgrounds and a BP/ST jersey.

Gotta be honest, the more I see these jerseys/color schemes, the more I like them.

I’m glad they didn’t do a played out, Vice theme.

I think the fix they need is actually really easy and takes from their history. I think their best uniform was 96-01 because it had the right balance of black and teal. 93-95 was too much teal it was gaudy and doesn't age well, and 02-present has so much black that most people are bothered by it. Here's the uniform I love most...

All the Marlins need to do to achieve that now is to make the wordmark blue, and preferably add the black front number because it's a great contrast to the wordmark. This allows them to keep the black caps, undershirts, numbers, player names, belts, socks, etc but still have that nice splash of bright blue on the front. Do that on the white and gray jerseys. On the black one make the wordmark and numbers blue as well. Then make an updated blue jersey as an alternate and if they want make a red jersey to be used on special occasions only.

Point is they're closer to getting it right than they realize.

You know something? I only "recently" realized that we've had orange since day one... the seams on the baseball of our two original logos were orange, a nod to the state of Florida (sunshine and citrus). It wasn't until Loria came around that we actually used the color on our uniforms and marketing materials.

Be honest... how many of you hadn't noticed that before???

Not having any history with red is rather irrelevant. 
 

We’re creating a new history now, and I don’t think any team is using this color mix. It’s vibrant, I like it. I hope we sweep the Mets in them.

I may try to mock something like this up on a real photo (as opposed to the flat jersey outline concept type mock up).

I always just figured it was red.

I do like them more than I did initially, but still don’t love them.
