Via Deadspin: Marlins New Ballpark & Its Home Run Sign

korme · 10-07-2011, 02:52 PM

The Marlins' New Ballpark Will Have A Light-Up Neon Home Run Structure That Will Blow Your Mind

It's horrific.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-07-2011, 03:16 PM

No way that comes to fruition. What a disaster.

Peregrine · 10-07-2011, 03:16 PM

That's going to look great in front of a Reno casino....err baseball stadium.

I kind of like it. It looks like some crazy, animated Hindu painting.

Toddzilla · 10-07-2011, 03:52 PM

Considering their new logo, it fits right in.

And no, this isn't some kind of promo logo or test, this is the Marlins' actuall new team logo:

ISiddiqui · 10-07-2011, 03:58 PM

I actually kinda don't mind the new logo.

Are the fishtanks in the backstop serious as well? It's like they are building a tacky baseball amusement park. Centered around marine life.

M GO BLUE!!! · 10-07-2011, 04:03 PM

And people wonder why there are teams like the Marlins...

Logan · 10-07-2011, 05:17 PM

Reading the MLB thread first, I really didn't think you guys were serious.

I'm hoping they build a hill with a flagpole in centerfield.

sabotai · 10-07-2011, 08:36 PM

My initial thought was "wow that's bad". My second thought was "Wait....why the fuck are the Marlins getting a new stadium? Are they building a much smaller one so that stop wasting so much space?"

I'm not a huge fan of the home run sign but I like the rest of the shtick they got going - the logo, the fish tanks, the weirdly small stadium. They can be like any other low-payroll loser team or they can bring something interesting to the table and actually have some kind of individual identity. Why not?

Edit: Miami baseball is either going to be a smattering of old men with ill-fitted trousers or its going to be something different with a lot of neon lights. Those are kind of the two choices.

I expect it to explode and go up in flames the first time someone hits a homerun.
