Miami Marlins Update - Throwback Style

1991Twins · 05-23-2020, 08:12 PM

I decided to "turn back the clock" on the Miami Marlins much like I did with the Tampa Bay Rays. Many fans still miss the old color scheme and it was under consideration when they moved away from the Loria era in November of 2018. What if they had gone with their traditional color scheme? When rebranding them, I broke them into 3 eras: 1) the 1993 Expansion Marlins 2) the 1997 World Series Champion Marlins 3) the 2003 World Series Champion Marlins.

Note: I found the M logo from a 2014 thread in which it was posted by Spindel when I did a google search. The Miami Marlins logo was also found on a google search.

1993 Expansion

2003 World Series Champs

Logos from 2014 thread, M logo credit goes to Spindel for posting. The "Miami Marlins" logo I adjusted the tint since it was too dark. For the "M" logos, I just cleaned the "M" logo up so it has a white border instead of turquoise. This caused the logo to more closely match the original "F" design.. As an extra bonus, I cleaned up a version of the blue version of the "M" logo as an alternate choice or for use in a GCL/DSL league. Tip: The "M" logos show up best in game at the default 300 x 300 size that I saved them on.

These are awesome. I recently changed my Marlins franchise back to the Teal and Black but was only able to find Florida Marlins logos. I may have to use yours and stick with Miami

Where did you find the "Miami" wordmark?

These are great.

These were so much better than the garbage they have now.

Klew1986 · 05-24-2020, 03:37 PM

Oh man. This brings me back to my childhood in Miami. Makes me want to start a Marlins 2020 game and rebrand them back to what they were.

jpeters1734 · 05-24-2020, 04:22 PM

outstanding!

1991Twins · 05-24-2020, 08:46 PM

Thanks for the kind words, I want my league to be realistic with the team names so that meant sticking to the current Miami name. It's crazy to me how easy of a solution this would be to just restore their colors/word marks with the name "Miami" and you have a classic look.

I decided to add 3 new jerseys today. 2 are sleeveless and 1 is the batting practice jersey from 1994 to 2002.

1991Twins · 05-24-2020, 11:01 PM

One final addition....I added 2 logos to post 4. I was able to clean up the Marlins batting practice "M" logo with the fish. Instead of the turquoise background like I used on the jersey sleeve patch, it is the standard white outline like the real "F" logo had. I made one of the "M" logos black so that it matched the "F" logo and the other was teal like the real batting practice logo. I posted the teal logo in case someone wanted to use that for a GCL or DSL league. I sized them to 300 x 300 because the detail looked the most accurate to the original logo in game. All in all, I am very pleased with my rebrand effort with 3 eras to choose from. The Marlins are restored to what they should be

The Game · 05-25-2020, 06:23 AM

For a Twins fan you do great work.

Thanks for these. I use something similar for the Marlins in my main league but these are cleaner and you made a better logo.

Can you post a copy of that "Miami" wordmark for me here, please?
Im having an issue locating it.
Both Black and Teal if you could.
Edit: Nevermind, I found them.
Your ideas gave me a little brainstorm for Project 32!

Here they are in case you want to avoid having to clean them up. I am a huge fan of your Project 32 and can't wait to see what creative approach you use these for. NOTE: I did not make these wordmarks. I found them in a Google Search and take absolutely no credit. I only used them for OOTP use.

1991Twins · 05-26-2020, 03:59 AM

Final changes, I created new ballcaps from scratch. Since I cleaned up the "M" logo for the Miami logo, I noticed that the outlined version more closely matched the original "F" design. The new, upgraded caps are uploaded into their proper season in the posts above. I also fixed each of the jerseys so that the outlined, accurate "M" logo is on each of the sleeves.

1991Twins · 05-29-2020, 07:24 PM

One more...based upon a 1990's batting practice jersey I saw online.

1991Twins · 06-12-2020, 07:49 AM

I wanted to apologize.

When playing a game, I noticed that the Miami 1990s gray uniforms did not have the sleeve stripes. To make them fully accurate, I went back and added them. The uniforms have been adjusted where they are posted. I apologize for overlooking this, but they are official now

BBGiovanni · 03-09-2021, 04:05 PM

I hope no one minds, but the other day I saw the Fish playing in their ST uniforms in the blue color contained in their current logo. I thought they looked great, and wanted to see what their old kits would have looked like in that color instead of the teal. Rather than re-create the wheel (since they're very nice wheels!) I'm re-coloring the logos and things 1991Twins posted before.

So... here's some caps!
