    the kid also said the actual color scheme change is "bigger than people think" and that it's going to be along the lines of what the Patriots did years ago. Wonder if that's supposed to mean the addition of silver or something similar.

    Personally I'm still leaning toward the leak being the real one.

    I'm sorry you dont understand. I did my very best to put my feelings into text to try to describe why I feel the way I do. I'm sorry you still cant understand it... I'd suggest giving up trying to understand.

    To me that's the main thing I'm sure about. I've always disliked the old logo. The whole cartoon dolphin wearing a helmet (worse a helmet for some other team?) always irked me. As long as the new logo still had a dolphin, kept our colors and that dolphin lost the helmet and didn't look like a cartoon then odds were high that I would consider it an improvement. I see this leak as a huge improvement over what we currently have.

    Re: Miami Dolphins New Logo Thread

    For the record, I've come to like the flat earth analogy being made.

    Explaining the difference between symbols and reality to people is analogous to trying to explain to people that the earth is round.

    The earth revolves around the sun, and a symbol that evokes the wrong reality is a failed symbol.

    that's fair enough but that is the only way to really judge the logo imo

    The Dolphins already said multiple times that the colors are only changing slightly. Probably lightening the colors a bit like they used to have.

    I'd be stunned if the logo leaked isn't real. Looks way too official.

    BTW, I like the sun from the original leak better than this one.

    Yeah I'm not crazy about the sun but I love the new dolphin. The pose is different but it looks very clean. And it still keeps up with the classic logo.

    I agree about thinking the leak is probably the real one. If the kid is accurate, I wonder if the color change could be represented in the uniform and not the logo? That could be the big change he's referring to. I do think that gray and aqua are a nice color combination. Maybe there's some alternative uniform options that include that?

    I agree with you here. I like the sun points. I think it would grow on me, and hopefully it translates really well onto helmets and gear. I may be slowly beginning to not give a crap too. Kinda like my feelings about Ireland.

    Probably is real. I'm just holding out with the last remaining hope that it's not. I seriously can't believe with all the resources an NFL organization has and Nike at their disposal, this is the best they could come up with. That logo is the one where everyone looked around at one another and said, "This is it... We've done it!" and started celebrating. It's so awkward in every way and completely unaesthetic. The only thing they got right was making the aqua more blue. For all the **** the "fan made" logo's got in this thread, about half are superior, IMO. And the vast majority sucked.

    If it is real, I hope the majority of fans revolt and don't buy merch and worst case scenario , we revert back to our old logo next season. We can keep the new uniforms if they're cool.

    That's why I have not been overly concerned about the logo changing. IMO there was very little chance I'd like the new logo less. Although I had to temper that position when I saw the logo contest. I thought those were all pretty bad. But I had seen the leak posted here by then and I thought it was a likely prototype. I figured the new logo would be a tweaked version of that, so as long as they didn't turn it over to some crazy fan I felt good about the change.

    Folks, Dolphins CEO Mike Dee assures me the Dolphins logo has not been leaked anywyere. So there's that.

    also with this, we don't know the last time they talked, and if Dee saw the latest leak, he has by now im sure, but until he says anything on his twitter, I am prone to believe that the leaked logo is legit. Also the fact he had the jags jersey makes me also convinced

    It makes sense to believe this is the real one. The packaging, the Nike symbol, looks like the left shoulder of our new jersey. I thought the jersey teal would contain a little more blue than is showing though, if it is real.

    Right now Dee has to deny, deny, deny. They have tried their hardest to keep it a secret and have they launch party all planned out. They need to leave some mystery so it is still an "event". So right now it is deny until you can't deny anymore.

    Again my only worry is the no stripes on the jersey, the no sign of a number makes sense because it would be above the shoulder, hopefully its just how it looks

    I'm not sure why the logo leaking out is such a big deal to the team anyway. They'll still have the official unveiling party with the players dressed in the new uniform and tons of stuff decorated with the new logo. It will still be a big deal. Mike Dee should just not say anything.

    Well technically Dee hasn't said anything yet. Armando is saying Dee is denying, but Dee hasn't posted anything on Twitter yet.

    BTW, can't we all get along with the Whale vs. Dolphin comment? Maybe this video inspired them to accommodate both into the design. :lol:

    Hell if its up to me I would go with the color scheme in your avatar..

    But I do love this color scheme, Just want that uni to be three colors..that deep rich aqua, some orange and some white, keep it solid, heavy on the aqua, light on the orange..

    My prediction has been that their gonna knock this out of the park, I'm really happy that Nike is involved..if those colors are any indication, I'm freakin stoked..that orange swoosh against that aqua is so choice..

    I'm tellin y'all,it's gonna be old school meets new school, it's so obvious that is why their excited..I can see it in their faces..
