    I'm not saying that the uni is bland, I'm just saying that their ugly. I DO however like the old school colors.

    Oh, that's fine. If you don't like the design then you don't like it. You have every right to your opinion.

    I'm just saying for those who said they don't like it because it's bland. That's fine as well, but if you're telling me our new unis are bland, but say, the Giants, Colts and Raiders aren't then you're crazy.

    and this is a team with a logo that doesnt appear anywhere on the uniform. they just rock the horns. If i were a fan, i could care less about the unused rathgar cartoon.

    Miami Dolphins New Logo/Uniform Thread: Uniform Leak

    Yeah but everything else is the Norseman logo, field, merchandise, posters ect. The horns are really just on the helmet. That's it

    I remember being dumbfounded when I first saw this. Because A. It took me a while to even see what changed, and B. I have no idea why they even bothered.

    I mean, seriously, what is the point of that?

    They didn't even change the hair style, all they did was take away a few knots.

    Is the stadium logo still different?

    It always tripped me out that we have two logos.

    I guess, but to me it's just as pointless of a change as you can have. And I like the Vikings look. Purple and yellow is a solid combo.

    And that brings me to my next pet peeve. Can we stop referring to the color yellow as "gold" in the sports world? The 49ers, Rams and Saints wear gold. The Packers and Vikings don't wear gold, they wear yellow. The Redskins aren't burgundy and gold, they're burgundy and yellow.

    That needed to be said.

    Sorry dj, but when I hate something, I really hate it. I'm trying to be more positive in life, but I've been a Dolphins fan for 40 years and my beloved team has switched logos and uni's that look like colored turds, it's hard to be positive.

    I wasnt a fan of the new logo but it is growing on me, Still alittle lite in the testosterone dept for my taste.

    But I must say i was afraid we were gonna go drastic on the unis and have weird color schemes ect. SO i'm very happy with the new UNi's. Crisp clean basic uniform great colors. Seems some expected and wanted Arena football uni 2.0. Love the fact we kept it simple just home and away. New change allows us to take fans opinions on designing a new alternate and make subtle changes as the yrs go on. Its like we reset.

    Nice clean stylish crisp uniform IMO. This can hold up over time and is not some abomination of mish mash colors or over the top creation from over zelous designers.

    Our tastes are really different. IMO it is not perfect, but this is the best uniform we have ever had. And the logo change is the best part. I look at all the gear I have with the old logo and I can't stand it. I was wearing a hat today and this girl asked what team it was (obviously not a football fan). I told her and mentioned that the logo had changed and showed her the wall paper on my phone with the new logo (thanks JT!). Her very quick reaction was, "... that's so much better!" My experience is that most unbiased observers like the new logo better. I generally try to not give any indication of which I preferred so as not to color their opinion and when I do that most seem to think the old one looks like a cartoon and prefer the new logo.

    I've been rooting for this team since long before you were even crapping in your diapers. I don't like the new uniforms or logo and I'll say so anytime I gawd damn well please. I don't need some kid telling me to go root for another team because of it. I'll keep wearing the old stuff.

    Fan since birth but got into in grade 5 in 83.. Any ******* tells me to go root for a another team because i i care what my team wears is a *******. worse this guy tells me to pack up and leave. get the **** out. You sir CJ can lick my salty balls. ok rant over.

    I kinda like the clean style of the new uni. but doesnt mean we just get use to change for a team that has alot of history. CJ lawanda needs to sit on his frosty dolphins mug and take a chill pill.

    I'm not totally thrilled with how the new logo or uniforms turned out either, but I'm not gonna complain about it because I'm not the one making the decisions for the Dolphins. I never said people can't have their own opinion, but I choose to keep mine to myself instead of b****ing on a public forum. I joined this site to get inside information and learn more about the team I love, not to read grown men whine about every little thing that happens. And just because I'm young, doesn't mean I'm a kid.

    Not trying to attack you but you asked for a little backlash by telling people to go root for another team.

    Well when you say you're not gonna support a team, or buy merchandise, or watch them play anymore because of their uniforms or logo change is that not basically the same. Reading that people are going to protest until they change things back.. how is that rooting for your team?

    I think the main reason they made changes by shortening the horns and braid, was to reduce the overall footprint of the logo and make it fit a circular area better. The rest of the major changes darkened the accents and details so they don't disappear as easy when seen from a distance or small. The changes were 99% for practical reasons in my opinion.

    What I find the most disappointing in these "leaked" pics is that the orange is really downplayed. I find myself squinting to see it, outside the sun on the logo. But what really get's my goat is how they hung those draft caps in front of our noses that were EXCLUSIVELY Aqua and Orange. Even under the bill! Nothing but Aqua and Orange. Now this blue/black or whatever the heck it is around the numbers. Not impressed.

    I don't mind the basic look of the uniform. It's reminiscent of the uniforms the Dolphins wore in 1970, 1971 and (for some of the team) 1972. I do wish they'd remove the logo from the sleeve, though.

    I'll reserve judgment on the numerical font until I see more. A close look seems to reveal that it looks a bit more unique than people think, but I'd have to see more #'s. Still not sure I like the way the black/navy outline works on the aqua uniforms, though.

    I'd be in favor of those, as long as that logo of an aborted dolphin fetus was changed to the new one.

    It's interesting, here and elsewhere, I see more negative comments about the new logo than positive. And I think a lot of it may have to do w/ the way this has been rolled out by the Dolphins - all hodge podge, leaks here/there, with the logo and uniforms not presented in an official capacity, right lighting, etc. etc. Instead, we get glimpses, or the logo presented by others roughing it the best they can.

    The Dolphins should've simply let this out a month ago, w/ some big fanfare, all at once. But we get the logo leaked sideways on a Nike shirt first, then on a really poorly silkscreened shirt worn by Odrick at that charity event. Then, yesterday, we get the jerseys taken w/ bad lighting and a poor phone camera. Of course it isn't going to look as good as it probably really does when presented correctly.

    Will be interesting to see if people's opinions change after the "unveiling" tomorrow.
