Is This The Miami Marlins Logo?
Oh my. This logo showed on a message board today and it looks legit. Is it real? Is it an elaborate hoax being put on by someone in hopes of fooling Marlins’ fans like me? Only time (or an official confirmation/debunking by MLB or the Fish) will tell. Let’s take a look at the best guess for the Marlins’ future look from Miami Diehards:
A black base (hat color, trim etc.)
Some kind of orange as the primary color
Silver and some sort of blue (seat color) used as accents
A logo that incorporates all of the above and the other colors in the stadium logo. We’ll all hate it.
I think we can check all those boxes.
Update: This is another possibility from Photobucket per @DannyMartinez4. Same design, but with different colors. I’m already missing the teal. /sad face

The commitment of the Marlins to gimmickery is impressive.
September 20th, 2011 at 7:50 PM
That is tremendous. Tremendously bad. How fitting.

Would they rename the bullpen to Birdcage?

Was “Los Marlins” already taken?
September 20th, 2011 at 8:00 PM
I like the block font for the “Marlins” but the “M” is something out of Miami Vice TV. I call foul ball on this, I think someone created it and stuck the TM & MLB logo for authenticity. I can’t believe this would passed mustard on focus groups.

It looks like the Marlins are going for the local Cuban single male crowd. And, by single, I mean I don’t think gay marriage is legal in Florida yet.
September 20th, 2011 at 8:04 PM
That’s unfortunate.
You’d think for bilking millions out of taxpayers for the stadium, Loria and company would solicit citizen ideas. Then again…

Kc he’s referring the movie remake The Birdcage which took place on south beach and had robin Williams, Nathan lane, gene Hackman, and a young calista flockhart. Oh and Hank azaria played their gay, Cuban manservant.

I think that’s actually the cover of an unreleased Phish CD from the late 1990s. The band woke up from a monthlong Ecstasy binge, listened to the master tape again, said, “Jesus, not even our fans will buy this crock of shit,” and locked it in the vault.
Or it might be the new logo of the South Beach Marlins. Who can tell?

Thank you and thank you everyone. I actually saw the Birdcage movie. Never once thought it’d come up again. This is what I get for tricking MS621 into opening topless Chaz Bono pics this morning. Lesson learned.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is, “Never get involved in a land war in Asia.” But only slightly less well known is this, “Never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line.”

Fezzik: Fuss, fuss… I think he like to scream at *us*.

Inigo Montoya: You have a great gift for rhyme.
Fezzik: Yes, yes, some of the time.
Vizzini: Enough of that.
Inigo Montoya: Fezzik, are there rocks ahead?
Fezzik: If there are, we all be dead.

I used to work with a guy who was good friends with Andre (really). Said he was the nicest guy you could imagine. Had some funny pictures of them duck-hunting or something like that (imagine The Giant squatting in a duck blind.)

So everybody in the TBLiverse has seen the Birdcage and will go to the mat defending it’s honor? This is weirder for me than that one time a bunch of straight acting guys were watching and commenting on the Emmys when there was football on TV

September 20th, 2011 at 11:25 PM
i got that wrong.
“During the week or so I was with him, his average daily consumption was a case or so of beer; a total of two bottles of wine, generally French, with his meals; six or eight shots of brandy, usually Courvoisier or Napoléon, though sometimes Calvados; half a dozen standard mixed drinks, such as Bloody Marys or Screwdrivers; and the odd glass of Pernod. He drinks as many Frenchmen drink—throughout the day—and he takes genuine comfort in his drinking, seemingly in agreement with the line from Housman that “Malt does more than Milton can/ To justify God’s ways to man.” But during the time I was with Andre, never once did I see him give any indication that the alcohol was affecting him. Several friends who have known him over the years say that on the rare occasion when he feels the need to tie one on he avoids beer or wine and goes quickly through three fifths of vodka.”
