Here We Go Again Adidas Eyeballs Png

"Absurd…Miami…International."
Those were the three words Florida Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria used to depict the new uniforms of the Southward Florida baseball squad.
So…how'd they do?
Let'due south showtime with the logo, which isn't exactly breaking news, since it leaked quite some time ago. It'south a very distinctive, iv-color, beveled "1000", featuring gold, orange, aqua and black (outlined in gray), with an paradigm of a marlin atop the "M". Information technology's a rather bold statement, but it looks like the 2012 Marlins aren't your father's Marlins. When I first saw this, I didn't actually similar it, but it's grown on me. A lot.
OK … onto the uniforms:
Home Whites: Nosotros got a bit of a preview of the homes yesterday, only final nighttime was the official unveiling. It'south different, but information technology nevertheless looks like a baseball game uniform. Information technology takes the aforementioned wordmark and puts it on a white uniform, with sparse orange pipage around the neck, sleeve ends, and pants. At the unveiling, Loria explained that "Miami" will exist very prominent, and that both the homes and roads will have "MIAMI" emblazoned on the chest. It's swell — I'd prefer "Marlins" on the chest, and perchance in a year or 2, they'll do information technology, merely for their inaugural flavour in the as-yet-to-be-corporately-named ballpark, they'll exist the Miami Miamis. Gone are the pinstripes, the block "F," the teal…and Jack McKeon. In with the Ozzie.
Road Grays: Nearly the reciprocal of the abode whites, the jersey wordmark will be in white, with black pipage, also with "MIAMI" on the chest.
Alternate Black: Never have been a fan of the Marlins with a black top (and cap), but information technology looks like the squad will exist keeping that element going forward. I hateful, zero says "Due south Florida" like a blackness uniform, right? Seems similar most of the models were wearing the blackness top with grey pants, then hopefully this volition simply be used as a route alternate. Yet not a fan of the blackness cap & pinnacle, but what're ya gonna practice?
Now…if that were information technology, I'd be pretty disappointed, but the Marlins aren't washed. At present, they've already shown u.s.a. one alternate also many, but what's one more than right? We knew yesterday, when this was leaked there would exist an orange top. Merely what we didn't know was…
Orange Alternate: The spec sheet would show an orangish cap! It's a GREAT alternate (if y'all have to take an alternating). Unfortunately, the players but came out wearing the black cap with the orange peak. Let's hope that's just for show. Unlike the white, gray and black jerseys, the orange jersey says "MARLINS" and features the flying fish jumping between the "Fifty" and the "I". I like it.
The Marlins really had a chance to stand out from other clubs with this unveil, and to a certain extent (read: wait at the orange tops), they did. Unfortunately, they still seem to have a heavy preponderance of black. Their pullovers and dugout jackets are both black, and I believe their BP jerseys are equally well.
One matter I too like are the unique number fonts, although I tin can't come across why they need the driblet shadow. Oh well, information technology is Miami. Information technology's hard to tell from this screen take hold of, but it appears the orange tops may be drop-shadowless. Peradventure.
So, they've got a new uniform set, a new stadium, a new city-proper name…and it looks like they're trying to make a big splash in the gratis amanuensis market. Reports are they met with and offered contracts to both Albert Pujols and Jose Reyes. In fact, by the time y'all read this, Reyes may be a Marlin. These are not your father's Marlins, no sir.
Overall, I'd give the uniforms a B+. Not because they're great, only because they're much more reflective of Southward Florida — the boldly colored "Yard" and wordmark are certainly unique without being completely overboard, and even though I hate softball tops, I hope to see that orangish alt as often as possible next season. Good job, Miami Miamis, you've done South Florida proud.
All Easily on Deck…
Yesterday afternoon, the Tar Heels and Spartans hooked upwardly in a cover-up-themed duel atop a carrier deck.
If that wasn't surreal plenty, the game was kicked off past Commander-in-Main, who watched the game with First Lady Michelle Obama. It was all office of the Veterans Twenty-four hours festivities that featured the number one ranked Tar Heels and Spartans playing on the shipping carrier USS Carl Vinson.
Say what you will almost the unnecessary gimmicky uniforms or the long sleeves (information technology was outdoors, ya know), this was quite possibly the most beautiful outdoor playground most of usa volition ever come across. I was just hoping that someone would meet if they could boot the ball into the h2o. No such luck.
I bet Roy Williams (pictured with some guy who looks familiar) could have done it with those steel-toed boots.
Lots and lots more photos here and here.
Some expert closeups of the uniforms (prior to the game existence played) in the video below:
50 Years Ago…This Weekend
Dorsum once more with Rick Pearson who is hither to bring u.s. his expect at the featured ABC television college football matchup from 50 years ago. As always, Rick documented the game via his "kid cards". Here's Rick to tell us nearly it.
How "˜bout that. Gophers the one and only Tv game two weeks in a row, this fourth dimension confronting the other Big Team powerhouse. … Gophers changed their route unis as much equally anyone, switching to gold pants and adding UCLA jersey stripes/loops. … Not a bad idea; their offset roads with that gear up were a tad nondescript. … Iowa in their typical Iowa look, using the standard template that had been employed past the Steelers, Packers, Oklahoma, Michigan Land and plenty of others (including Minnesota) in the early 1950s. … The players? HB Pecker Munsey was drafted by the Detroit Lions, but spent four seasons with the B.C. Lions. … Cloyd Webb? Oh, man, one of my favorite college players ever. … Played DE, besides, cuz most players however played on both sides of the ball. … Drafted by Bears and Bills; signed with Bills simply likewise ended up in CFL. … Had short career that included a few games for Winnipeg and so a year or 2 with Hamilton.
Great chore, once again, Rick. Loved your "painting" of Cloyd Webb!
Uni Tweaks
We take some other new set of tweaks today.
If yous have a tweak, alter or concept for any sport, send them my way.
Remember, if possible, try to go on your descriptions to ~50 words (requite or have) per tweak. You lot guys have been bully at keeping to that, and it's much appreciated!
And so, lets begin:
We commencement with Adam Walter , who takes a comical wait at the Winter Classic…
Phil
If the NFL got to design the jerseys for the NHL Wintertime Archetype…
Adam
Next upwardly is Hashemite kingdom of jordan Woodson , with the starting time of some Tar Heel tweaks:
First, modified UNC sweatback. The sweatbacks are bad, but if UNC had to do them, they could accept at least used some blueprint sense in the pattern used. Simplified it, and made it more 'archetype'… if that is possible.
2nd, UNC procombats. Not much to it here, only using some sublimated argyle.
Third, a mock of a potential UNC digital camo, like to the ones possible leaked for Mich. St for the upcoming Carrier Classic.
And closing down today is Andy Miller , who besides has some UNC concepts:
Hey Phil,
Dear the site. I have some concepts for The University of Due north Carolina'south football game program. For years I've thought that North Carolina has had an opportunity to utilise their classic basketball uniform designs on the football uniforms, in order to bring some symmetry to the jerseys of the university's major programs. The part that stands out the most on Due north Carolina's basketball jerseys is, of grade, the side inserts with the diamonds. So, I transferred those to the football uniforms and added an alternate uniform that incorporates the school's use of navy blue in their colors.
The jerseys follow the same blueprint for abode, away and alternate. White helmets, white face masks, for a cleaner expect. (Though, I don't have information technology illustrated, they would have one of the old schoolhouse Carolina logos on the side… either the Tarheel foot, or the Old School Ram, both of which I've included), and each jersey has the side insert with the diamond-design.
