4 Teams with New Looks for 2012

Four Major League Baseball teams will have new identities in 2012. The Florida Marlins will now be known as the Miami Marlins and will be sporting new uniforms, hats and logos as they open their new park near Little Havana. The players will have their choice of three different home jerseys (white, black or phosphorescent orange), while the road jersey will be gray.

The M for Miami resembles a Metro logo in the subway and will be white, blue, yellow with stripes of orange and black.  A jumping orange and blue Marlin soars over the M for dramatic effect. Art Deco enthusiasts will love it but baseball purists will probably hate it. For a sneak peak click here:                New Uniforms for Miami Marlins

Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays new logo features a Canadian Maple Leaf over a bird on a bold, blue background. The new logo for caps will not feature the baseball that was found in the original club logo: Blue Jays Logo

The San Diego Padres will also be showing a new look, at least on their uniforms, if not on the field. The “SD” cap logo is inside a navy circle with the words “San Diego Padres Baseball Club”surrounding it:Padre Logos The “swinging friar” logo is also back: Swinging Padre.

And it’s back to the future for the New York Mets, who are looking for the retro 1962 look, to mark 50 years of existence in 2012: Mets Uniforms
