    It's a good thing for us (those who think the old logo is better than good) that you annointed yourself the authority on people having serious problems. Now we know we're doing fine....

    There are four parts to qualifying any logo:

    1. Craftsmanship.
    The quality with which each element was constructed.

    2. Layout.
    The reason and aesthetics of putting each element where it is on a logo.

    3. Elements
    The individual parts of a logo. Pictures, Symbols, Font, Text, etc.

    4. Colors.
    The various colors and color combinations used and why.


    Now, 2-4 are subjective but 1 is not. You can like parts 2-4 all you want, but if #1 is poor then the whole logo is poor. I know, I know, you want to blah, blah, blah & bull****, bull****, bull****, but #1 is the first qualifier for every man made thing from airplanes to cars to ball bearings. And in all those things, if craftsmanship is poor, then you have a poor overall product. You can love everything about a given car, but if it is put together poorly and falls apart when you use it, then it is crap. Same with logos.

    The logo you guys like is a textbook example of poor craftsmanship. It would be fine for a local plumber but not for a multi million dollar franchise.

    All the above, is the actual graphic design explanation for why that logo sucks. Now, we'll talk about why your guys' opinion of it is pointless.

    There's nothing specific about that logo you like. You simply like it because you grew up with it. It could have been a dolphin ****ting in its own flipper and smearing it over its genitals with a thought bubble that said "I eat babies" and your arguments would be exactly the same for not changing it. That's because you like it for none other than tradition. Which is fine and good and your right. Kudos for you. But to sit back and tell people the old one is better on any level, when the only argument you guys have is "herp derp tradition", is silly.

    Guys, they literally changed the color by half-tones. I don't have my PMS book with me, or I could tell you the exact color changes.

    FinD is 1,069% spot on. The design of the logo is crap. No amount of color tweaking will make it any more aesthetically pleasing.

    Actually, I'd love to have a graphics artist mock up some of everyone's ideas and see how they look just to prove this point.

    Doesn't matter. There were plenty of character style logos from back then then didn't look like a fish with mold.

    Of course it is largely marketing. That is most of what uniforms are is marketing. Jerseys market the team and the uniforms themselves.

    It isn't change for the sake of change. It is change to make the uniforms look better, more modern and to sell more jerseys.

    And for those of you who don't like the Dolphin wearing a helmet, this is what it would look like without it:

    Fvck 'em. I ain't buying any of their new crap. If I ever attend another game in person, I'll wear my Timbo jersey, circa 1995.

    The logo is sharp.

    The uniforms are HIDEOUS. The numbers are a joke. They will look dated in a week. The orange is to bright, neon looking. Again, it will look dated quickly. The stripe on the helmet is atrocious.

    These are the type of uniforms that get changed in 2 years because they are a "fad". I don't want to be Oregon. We are a professional football team, not a college team or an arena league team. IF we wear this rubbish with that helmet stripe I will be embarrassed.

    Keep the logo, bring the orange down a few notches, get rid of the logo on the pants, use a real font for the numbers not that crap, use white numbers on the aqua uniforms and for the love of everything, do NOT use that helmet stripe.

    Agreed,
    No different then any other company that sells a product..from potatoe chip companys changing the bags they are packaged in to car manufactures changing designs and making specialty models evey 5 years..Why? Because people will always buy it. So it may be nobel of some to wanna take a stance against "The Man" and not buy the new jersey, then dont be a hypocrit and dont buy any other product that changes product packaging for the sakes of generating sales either.

    Actually, I've been a professional graphic designer for almost 15 years. I even taught graphic design at the local community college. So, I in fact, do know exactly what goes into a logo. I'm 100% right about the parts of the logo.

    As for why you like it, I notice you just said I was wrong but gave no reason. That smacks of butt-hurt because of the truth hurting.

    This proposed logo is something i could definitely live with.... but i still think its a little too much.

    All the dark blue, it makes the aqua facemask look out of place. I'm really leaning towards the facemask changing colors anyway....... the grey is sweet, but all white is just clean and fast... like the U's. Also notice the logo is 1/3 blue, but there is no blue on the uniform. ???

    I'd love to see orange numbers if they could make it work. Have you seen chicago's alternate? Thats all bears fans want to buy.

    The stripe on the helmet is a nice attempt.... i do want to see something different than the ole timey 3 stripe there. Then apply that modern stripe to the uni's.

    Just 4.5 months until the draft and new uniforms are unveiled....

    no confirmations...... but they pretty much have to be unveiled by the draft. Perhaps we should hit up Mr. Mike Dee on twitter. He just finished touring the new San Fran Stadium, let's see whats on his mind.

    Again, you have no clue how any artist goes about making a certain logo of a particular artist. So what if you teach graphics design to people who WANT to be artists.

    Sigh.

    I didn't say any of that.

    I said there are 4 parts to judging or qualifying a logo. Learn to read. Learn to accept the truth. Learn to work through your butt hurt.

    I love the uniforms worn when we beat the Bears back in 1986. Both the color and those AWESOME SLEEVE STRIPES. Puhleaze bring those back. I also like the blocky old-school lettering and numbering and am not a huge fan of these weird futuristic numbers some of these teams have going on nowadays. Wouldn't mind a logo change as long as it isn't too drastic. I think we should do something like Boise did with their new helmets, of course a dolphin would take place of the bronco.

    I can't remember who posted it, but there was a supposed "leaked" cell phone picture of the new helmet (from the front only, no logo) on twitter. Same stripe, but silver helmet instead of white. Could obviously just have been a photoshop, but it is possible they could change to a silver helmet.

    Again, its probably fake though.

    I think it was more of an artistic expression from Nike, I guess you could call it a concept. Not sure if they ever intended it for gameday.
