  • Use of the Orange Cap at Home

    Let me start off by saying that I have grown to really like the orange cap. I did not in the beginning. It best symbolizes what the makeover was supposed to represent: something unique that said "Miami." But as is the case with many other things, I think they are missing an opportunity to do something correctly. Thankfully, after taking a year hiatus, the orange cap is back and being worn for every Friday home game with the home whites.

    I want to know which combination everyone prefers of the two below.

    Orange cap and black undershirt:

    Personally, I like everything in orange. It's vibrant, sharp, and unique-- at least for the National League. They should also wear orange helmets with the orange caps. They've worn black helmets with the orange caps. That bothers me to no end, especially considering the orange helmets have not been worn since the exhibition games against the Yankees in 2012.

    P.S. Bonus points if the orange cap is matched with the orange socks again.

    I prefer the combination of...the old uniforms. Any combination of this new stuff is garbage.

      Ok Todd, thanks. As always, you are a wealth of insight and bring unpredictable opinions to the table.

        Go eat a frog, you asswad.

        I like the orange hat with the black undershirt. The orange undershirt just kinda clashes and looks weird. It might look better if the pants weren't white.

              Todd, have you ever had sex?

              Like, consensual sex with an awake female.

                By the way, wondering if its just me but don't you notice that our "orange" has changed since they've brought in this scheme? Sometimes it's "red-orange," sometimes it's bright orange...even some of the merchandise I've purchased when held side to side does not have the same color. Early renditions look more red-orange whereas newer ones are more pure orange - which I prefer 100 times over.

                  I like the orange undershirt and orange socks with the orange hat, too.

                  Speaking of jersey combinations, do our gray road uni's even exist anymore? I don't even remember those being worn last year and they haven't been worn so far this year. Not that I really care for it since that was my least favorite one, but yeah.

                    The shade of orange has not changed. A lot of it is probably lighting. It looks like orange during day games and red orange under the lights.

                    The authentic jerseys and replicas are made of different materials which would explain the different shades of orange.

                    They don't exist anymore. They only wore camo grays last year.

                      Our PR department already confirmed we aren't wearing them again this season.



                      This franchise just doesn't do road gray, we hardly wore the old ones either.

                        They do "exist" though, they're still listed as our official road uniforms in the style guide.

                          I agree with Todd.
                          This is a Dolphins town, though.

                            i perfer the orange hat with the black undershirt.

                            i know the pr department said we wont wear gray anymore but id like that changed. while i like alternates, wearing them all the time is a little to much. also anybody think the home whites will ever say "marlins" in the future?

                              You know, that's something I really like on the uniform. Miami looks better on a uniform than the word Marlins.
