This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
I'd like there to be at least *some* orange on the uniform, whether it be the outline of the numerals on the jersey, or stripes on the side, the printing of the team name, or at least the socks?
I'm not a huge fan of the orange jerseys, but I do think there needs to be at least some orange somewhere on the uni.

I hadn't seen that photo 'til now. I still say the '72 Fins (Griese) is the best.

LoL. I watched just about every single game Marino ever played in, and I never noticed that. So, he was always sporting his socks prison style? Such a gangsta!
As for the brace, I think that holds true for most of his uniform towards the end of his career. Dude looked like a bionic man. I vaguely remember reading or hearing somewhere that his knees look like oak tree knots now, and that he has trouble working on the set in his TV gig.

LOL. I was trying not to go there. Yeah that Logo does Blow Like a crack whore in a hurricane .I'm warming up to the uniforms though.
It looks like a cruise ship logo. Wouldn't have expected anything different from Ross and Co.
The people running this team continue to disrespect its past and ignore the fans. Maybe because they want to move the team elsewhere and blame the fans for not filling the stadium.
The funny part is that if the new logo was the original logo and we were changing to the cartoon dolphin with the "M" helmet....everyone would still be just as unhappy.
The new Dolphin looks feminin. It looks like a logo for a feminin product. Worst logo in the NFL. If Ross wanted to sell more shirts, he should have brought back the original.

The Logos are supposed to be cartoonish. All 31 others are. There were so many other cool logos out there this one was one of the worst from the beginning. Nothing cool about it. Just a sketch of a mammal. I wish this stadium deal blew up in Ross's face before the Logo came out. He might have been more inclined to just leave well enough alone. He keeps talking about a new owner. That person is going to make a bundle on merchandise after he changes it back.

Actually I think you may be onto something there. The new logo might be the New Coke (does anyone remember that---from the mid 1980s) of the Miami Dolphins!
Oh yeah! That new Formula blew up in their faces. HRoss lost sight of what a Logo is supposed to be. Its a caricature of a Team .Its supposed to be unrealistic. A NFL team should represent courage or an attitude . Its the face of a brand. What he has now would work well for SeaWorld. It represents a realistic mammal. It doesn't convey any fighting sprit or anything a NFL team should represent.
I can deal with the new colors though. Actually kinda like it.
