Yahoo! Sports writer David Brown latches onto @petzrawr’s tweeted notion that the new Miami Marlins uniforms look a lot like the Miami Dealers uniforms from the movie BASEketball.
Makes one wonder just what the average person gets out of the choices we make as designers. You know, subtle stuff like colors and font choice.
For the record, the BASEketball uniforms are way better.
