100 Greatest Pro Sports Logos Countdown - #87 Miami Marlins

#87 Miami Marlins

The Miami Marlins are a Major League Baseball team from Miami, Florida.




Logo referenced from Sportlogos.net.

The new Miami Marlins logo brought in more color when it switched from the original for the 2012 rebrand. This redesigned logo has caught a good amount of heat from fans and designers alike but I am going to defend this new look by placing it on this list. The font has the appropriate art deco look it obviously needs and the fish inspired shape swooshing around the peak of the 'M' is also ornate in the style of art deco flare. The lines within the 'M' create the mechanical texture popularized by art deco architecture. The new colors add the vibrance the city is known for, as well as represents the city's landscape. What's more, this logo looks fantastic on snap backs and apparel. I think the new logo is a not only a huge improvement, it is the kind of logo that can last decades as the primary brand mark for the team.
