Notes from Nowhere Marlins & Padres New Looks, Ramos Rescued

The Florida Marlins are no more.  The Fish unveiled their new look for the 2012 season as they move into their new ballpark.

Miami Marlins players model the new black, orange, gray and white uniforms they will be wearing next season.  The players in attendance were Hanley Ramirez, Josh Johnson, Ricky Nolasco, Anibal Sanchez, Gaby Sanchez, Logan Morrison, Emilio Bonifacio, former Jay John Buck and Omar Infante.



The Miami Marlins new cap logo.

The Marlins also wasted no time revamping its official website where you can check out more details of the unveiling of the team's new look.

Earlier this week, the San Diego Padres tweaked their look for 2012.  From left to right are Jason Bartlett, Will Venable, Nick Hundley and Clayton Richard.  

Among the changes are blue piping on the home and road uniforms, same sized lettering across the road jersey and the addition of a new blue "SD" alternate jersey.

The Padres new primary logo.

The Baltimore Orioles and your Toronto Blue Jays are up next on the new uniform watch.  The O's are reportedly bringing back the cartoon bird logo on Tuesday.  The Jays will show off their new look on Friday.  The new font is rumoured to look like this.

Baseball fans will get to see Wilson Ramos wear a uniform in 2012.  The Washington Nationals catcher has been rescued after being kidnapped in Venezuela earlier this week.

Other talking points to consider...

  • Jonathan Papelbon leaves the American League East for the National League East.  The former Boston closer signed a four year deal with Philadelphia.
  • Cardinals free agent slugger Albert Pujols is talking with the Marlins.

The Mets are unveiling new uniforms on Wednesday, and are rumoured to be ditching the black.

The Marlins' uniforms don't look as bad as I was expecting. If anything they look a bit bland and generic. The Padres' new logo and uniforms truly are bland and generic.

I agree that the Marlin's new uniforms are a bit bland. Which I suppose is a good thing because after the logo was leaked earlier this year I was expecting something quite gaudy.

I don't care for the "M" logo on the cap, I think just the new marlin fish that tops the "M" would have made a good cap logo on its own. One other quibble, their home uniforms should have "Marlins" instead of "Miami" written across the chest.

The Padre uniforms are very classy.

(1)  Yeah, the M is disappointing.  There are so many cool ways to write an M.

(2)  I'm very glad to hear that Ramos was rescued.  We do not want to encourage kidnappers, obviously - and Ramos is on my Strat-O team.

Anthony Gose had a cool first inning today.  He walked, stole second and scored on a groundout to third.  I am guessing that he was attempting to steal third and kept on running.

It appears they went with the inverted W instead of an M.  How's Josh Johnson doing these days anyway?
