So. I like that they’ve tried something different. Look at a photo of the Florida Marlins uniform after seeing this… it looks old. And at least they didn’t play it as safe (that is, boring as hell) as the Rays did when they re-named/designed themselves. Love the M. Would be a whole lot better w/o the stylised fish flying off it, but whatever.I find the four-colour M and the two-colour -IAMI / -ARLINS a little jarring on the jersey. It’s better on the orange alt, because the blue underside of the M is the same as the blue underside of the -ARLINS. Wish they’d switch the colours on the MIAMI jerseys so that the underside of the M is orange to match the -IAMI.The kerning of MI   AMI is bad. And it’s not great on MA   RLINS, either.Do they really need a sleeve patch with a logo that’s already on the cap and the front of the jersey? And, pet peeve: hate it when teams have their city/state on the home jersey. (Hopefully they’ll change that in a year or two once they feel the new name is established as a brand.) And, y’know, fuck every MLB team’s black jersey.
