As the 2024 MLB season approaches, Miami Marlins fans are eager to see their team back on the diamond. Beyond the excitement of new signings and spring training performances, there’s always anticipation surrounding the team’s on-field look. For the 2024 season, the Miami Marlins are set to utilize five distinct uniform combinations, offering a mix of classic and updated styles for their games at loanDepot park and on the road. This guide breaks down each uniform in detail, providing insights into when you can expect to see the Marlins sporting each look.
Home White Uniforms: Classic Marlins Style
The quintessential home look for the Marlins remains their Home White uniforms. These crisp white tops feature the iconic “Miami” script across the chest in black, trimmed with blue and red. The tri-color trim detailing adds a signature Marlins touch to the sleeves and is mirrored on the white pants. Notably, the ADT patch is strategically placed on the sleeve – on the throwing arm for pitchers and the opposite arm for position players – ensuring maximum visibility for the center field camera during every pitch. In the 2023 season, the Marlins showcased a solid home record while wearing these uniforms, going 31-20.
These Home White uniforms are designated as the primary home uniform and will be worn for most games at loanDepot park, unless another uniform is specifically scheduled.
Road Grey Uniforms: Standard Away Attire
For games away from Miami, the Marlins will don their Road Grey uniforms. Mirroring the design of the home whites, these grey tops also display the “Miami” script in black with blue and red trim across the chest. The same tri-color trim accents the sleeves and grey pants, creating a cohesive team look on the road. While wearing the Road Greys in 2023, the Marlins recorded a 27-31 record.
The Road Grey uniforms are the standard choice for away games, worn unless an alternate uniform is planned for a particular road matchup.
City Connect Uniforms: Celebrating Miami’s Heritage
Returning for Saturday home games, the City Connect uniforms continue to be a vibrant part of the Marlins’ uniform rotation. These uniforms are a nod to Miami’s rich Cuban baseball history, featuring a distinctive red pinstriped top. “Miami” is scripted across the chest in white with a blue trim, while “Sugar Kings” – a tribute to the legendary Cuban team – is placed above the manufacturer’s patch in blue trimmed with white. The City Connect cap is blue with a red bill and displays the Sugar Kings logo, incorporating “MM” within a blue crown. A sleeve patch further celebrates the Sugar Kings, alongside “MIAMI MARLINS”. Completing the look are white pants with blue side trim and blue socks featuring a black and blue stripe and the Marlins logo. In 2023, the Marlins had a winning record of 7-5 when wearing the City Connect uniforms.
Look for the Marlins to wear their City Connect uniforms for all Saturday home games throughout the 2024 season.
New Alternate Black Uniforms: Enhanced Design for 2024
An update for the 2024 season is the New Alternate Black uniform. The Marlins have refined their black uniform option, addressing previous readability concerns. These black tops now feature “Marlins” scripted in white, trimmed with blue and red, ensuring the team name stands out clearly. The tops are accented with bi-color blue and red trims and can be paired with either grey (road) or white (home) pants, both featuring the tri-color black, blue, and red trim. The previous iteration of the Alternate Black uniforms, with black lettering, proved less popular, and the team had a 13-15 record in them in 2023.
The updated Alternate Black uniforms are scheduled for Friday home games and will also make appearances for select Friday, Saturday, and other road games throughout the season.
New Alternate Blue Uniforms: Sunday and Day Game Debut
Rounding out the 2024 uniform lineup is the New Alternate Blue uniform. This all-new addition features blue tops with “Marlins” scripted in black, trimmed with white and red across the chest. Tri-color black, blue, and red trims complete the tops, which are paired with white pants featuring matching trim. The Alternate Blue uniforms replace the Teal Throwback uniforms that were worn on Flashback Fridays in the previous season. In 2023, the Marlins’ record was 6-7 when wearing the Teal Throwbacks.
The Alternate Blue uniforms are set to be worn for Sunday home games and other day games at loanDepot park, providing a fresh and vibrant look for daytime matchups.
In conclusion, the Miami Marlins are entering the 2024 season with a well-rounded and visually appealing uniform collection. From the classic Home Whites and Road Greys to the culturally significant City Connect and the updated Alternate Black and Blue designs, Marlins fans will have plenty to cheer for, both in terms of on-field performance and on-field style.
