If you're talking about the new Marlins logo, I like it, too. It really is very Miami. I also liked the Astros '70's rainbow unis. They were as loud and brash as the Astrodome, Judge Roy and a Texas oilman, and as futuristic as space travel -- a logical way to represent the franchise.

I LOVE it.

I hope those Marlins rotate around the sculpture. I'd be really disappointed if they didn't.

And they HAVE to have strippers dressed as mermaids on hand every game to dance around the statue. It just wouldn't be complete without it.

As for the logo, I can see free-agent sluggers thinking to themselves "I'd rather go to CitiField and hit 8 HR's than wear that uniform."

...but the coverage of this story (and the new logo) has gotten so goddamn snarky it's as though teams would be better off not bothering to try anything creative or new. They'd all be as dull as Citifield.


Excellent point!

I liked the Astros uniforms.

And I give the Marlins credit for going all in with the logos on the seats at the new ballpark. Most of the teams seemed to do something neat with their seats in the new parks, and the Mets just slapped stickers on the sides of theirs.

But by the seventh or eighth inning, would they still have those costumes on?

Later

Don't know about the strippers, but boy, does it rotate:



I love it, too. But I hate everything about the logo- the stylized fish shape, the use of Dolphins' color scheme, the inexplicable yellow, etc. It not even an "M". It's an upside-down "W". Yuck.

that thing is glorious.

in a way.


Ridiculous in a "can't look away" way. Looking forward to seeing it in action. Also hoping it takes the Marlins a week to activate it and it gives someone an epileptic seizure when they do.

Same here. Though whenever it goes off, I want someone standing next to it, for scale.

Still need a damn name for the thing. Presumably someone will sponsor it and we can call it the BumbleBee Tuna Float or something.


Speaking of that... were the Nationals not able to find a stadium sponsor, or did they decide that they didn't want to go that route?

My guess is a little of both. Didn't find a stadium sponsor willing to pay enough.

This thing is hee-larious. (The prospect of under-/overfed "floaters" drifting along in the tank behind home plate makes it doubly so.)

Seriously, how much more fun will this be to watch than Ol' Pale Green And Soggy Joe Robbie?

They actually exhibited there already, Marlins against some college team. Hanley bagged the first HR.
Tonight probably represents the first ML-v-ML game there.
