Miami Ballpark's Home Run Celebration Is Huge

Miami Marlins: New Uniforms, New Logo — New Hope?

Should the Marlins go crazy with the free agent market this year? It depends on what their ultimate goal is -- and what price they are willing to pay.

PHOTOS: New Miami Marlins Uniform, New Marlins Logo

After much anticipation and wringing of hands and leaking of photos, the new Miami Marlins uniform and the new Marlins logo have been officially unveiled. And though a number of photos and renderings have already made the Internet rounds, it appears the Marlins uniforms will come in even greater diversities than initially anticipated.

First: The new Marlins Logo:

Marlins owner Jeffery Loria explained the new color scheme was designed specifically to reflect the city and culture of Miami. The colors and their corresponding meaning:

Orange: The Miami sunset and the south Florida citrus industry.
Blue: The blue Miami sky and ocean.
Yellow: The Florida sunshine... again.

Kudos to the Marlins for breaking the red-white-blue obsession in baseball. But, still...

They are a touch... Different.

On the right, we see an example of the new jackets. Presumably it will be the same jacket for home and away.

On the far left, we see either an another alternative jersey or a batting practice / spring training jersey. Loria confirmed the orange jersey on the right would be an alt-jersey.

So, after everyone got a good chance to look at the new Marlins unis, the players evacuated the stadium and the hard-hat-wearing audience got treated to this:

Purple, amirite?

So yeah, this bald guy from my XBOX dancing game came onto the stage, sang some very aggressive dance music for like 10 hours as the hard-hat audience sat in their seats, a few of them raising and rhythmically moving a first in solidarity.

You know a dance concert is going well when the entire audience remains seated and kindly nods their heads to the beat. And the musician, the aptly named Pitbull, sweats profusely.

But hey, some of the audience eventually got into it:

Teehee.

In all seriousness, the new unis are not terrible. And the team may not be either. It's an exciting time for Florida baseball.

Eyes bleeding? Use your ears instead:

The Marlins' new uniforms have not been officially revealed yet, but there are a few leaked pictures out there that look like the real deal.

Miami Marlins Logo And Uniform Unveiling: Details On The Event

The Miami Marlins are getting ready to unveil their new logos and uniforms tonight – see the leaked pictures here – and they are attempting to make tonight’s ceremony as ritzy and exciting as possible. They have built up excitement about the team over the past week by being linked to multiple high-profile free agents, including Albert Pujols, so tonight’s ceremony feels like more than just a uniform unveiling: it’s the beginning of a new era for the Marlins franchise.

For everyone curious how the event will unfold tonight, here are the details provided by MLB.com:

• The event will take place at the Marlins’ new ballpark starting at 9:00pm EST, and there will be a live stream on Marlins.com. It does not appear that fans will be allowed to enter the ballpark until after the main festivities at 11pm tonight.
• There will also be a live concert (“Mr. Worldwide” Pitbull, whoever that is) and a presentation by team owner Jeff Loria, so the actual uniform unveiling will not happen until closer to 9:50pm.
• Team manager Ozzie Guillen will speak. Also, the following players will be on hand to model the new uniforms: Emilio Bonifacio, John Buck, Omar Infante, Josh Johnson, Logan Morrison, Ricky Nolasco, Hanley Ramirez, Anibal Sanchez and Gaby Sanchez
• The new team gear will be available to purchase at the stadium starting at 11pm. Also, fans will be able to purchase merchandise in select locations around Miami throughout the weekend.
