    I saw a live shot of the helmet and that aqua thick stripe is exactly that of Miami ocean water on a clear day, it's like a light aqua fluorescent mix...it's looks awesome man..

    I wanted Orange, but if I had to pick a color, it would be that! Looks great! Love that color blue. My only wish was the blue stripe on the helmet was thiner and the orange was thicker. In some spots you can't even see the orange. IMO the new uni is way nicer then the old!

    After seeing the Jags and Seahawks uni, Miami really got away from Nike unharmed. They really did things their way, and not nikes, which I like! They stood true to their opinions and stuck with the lighter colors! Even the Vikings couldn't get away from Nike adding black! We did!

    Omgoodness..the colors in that stripe down the leg, the helmet, the sharpness of the lines and font, it's really cool.

    Actually, looking closely, you're right. The decal on the helmet in the draft table picture is just on an angle so it fits in nicely. Same exact logo.

    "Miami wide receiver Mike Wallace says he loves the tight fit of the all-white uniform. “When you put on that uniform on game day your whole mentality changes,” he says. “It is business time. You turn into a superhero, like Batman or Superman putting on that cape.”

    The Miami Dolphin uni is finally cool..well done Nike and Mike Dee.

    The videos of them being made form concept to finish really shows the sharp modernness combined with our roots as a culture and city, and hit a homer.

    Ok, now that everything is official and revealed, here are my final thoughts:

    The logo: Love it and have loved it since it was leaked. Yeah, it's takes a little getting used to since it's a whole new pose, but it works well. I liked the old logo as well but there was too much going on, too much detail. This new one is much cleaner and sleeker.

    The word mark: Decent. Very basic but that's the theme now. Don't love it but certainly don't hate it either.

    The helmet: Easily my favorite part of the uniform. The all-white look is bad *** and I love the way the logo looks on white. Stripe is well done as well. Thick aqua stripe with slim blue and slim orange stripes on both sides. Gets all the colors in there.

    Jerseys: My big issue with this is that the player names are outlined in blue instead of orange. Not a big fan of that really. Other than that, they look good. Again going with a cleaner, more simpler look. The number font is much better than it was and I like the logos on the sleeve and the word mark on the chest. Not sure why people are saying they took away the orange because the old ones had the same amount of orange. The numbers are outlined in orange on the new jerseys just like they were on the old ones. The big difference as I already mentioned is the lack of orange trim on the player names, but there is now orange on the word mark so it evens out a bit. Will be buying a few for sure.

    Pants: Really nothing to see here. Pretty much what you'd expect with the same stripe scheme running down the sides like it is on the helmet. The one big difference here is "MIAMI" on the back of the pants in orange. A nice touch that incorporates the city. I've always been a big fan of the aqua pants but we never wore them last year so who knows if we'll even see them. I hope so though, because as much as I love the all-white look, a little variety is good.

    Overall, the re-design in my opinion was well done. Is it perfect? No, but for the most part I think they did a pretty damn good job. I'm a fan of keeping things more simple and clean and that's obviously what the team had in mind. Won't have to worry about this look going outdated. Some fans don't like it but it seems to me most are excited.

    Christ. The aqua pants have not been murdered. Again, again, again, again: gray pants are the answer to the away uni problem. But I'll deal

    lol. I am anything but a hater. I think I have made that clear. I have defended new logo/uni discussion as long as I have been here.

    I love the new logo and the new colors. They got that right.

    I have hated green pants since the day I laid eyes on them. But they aren't shiny and the color is right

    For a very long time, my solution has been to strike the blue for gray and incorporate it in the uni. I am thankful that the aqua/green issue has been solved.

    My stance has not changed. The Nike mockups floated around with the gray pants is still my choice and I will defend it as the best away uni. Considering that the organization doesn't do what I want them to do, I am still happy

    That's was the highlight of the evening right there..this is exciting stuff..

    Anybody hate on that is just a hater..

    Ellerbe looks like a badass, fills that uni out in style.

    Did you see Wake release the Kracken, he released a little..


    Love the way the took the colors from our water and our sunsets and got it right..

    We're the youngest freshest looking team in the league...those youngsters were having fun up there, because they know they looked good..

    Logo: Love the logo. Love it. Huge fan of the upgrade. Hated the first leak because of the use of the blue, but love the finish product. I remember not being a fan of the position at first, then seeing the leaked logo in the old dolphin pose, and automaticly loved the current pose better. I think its a huge upgrade. A+
    Wordmark: Not a big fan, nor do I hate it. It is plain, and I really liked the old one. Nothing really bad about it, but its going to take some time to grow on me. C
    Helmet: I am not a big fan of the helmet as Rocky is. I love the face mask, my only problem is, I wish you could see the Orange better. It is hard to see in some images. I wish it was just the Aqua stripe with the orange trim. C
    Colors: I love the new colors. Everything about them, the lighter Aqua, the orange, the new blue! Love it. Huge upgrade, and when I first found out about the color changes, I wasn't to happy. Now I can't imagine going back! Best colors the Dolphins ever had! A+
    Unifrom:I am actually liking the uniforms a lot more every time I see them. The Aquas are my favorite. I just love the color. The blue stripe is growing on me a lot! I love the color of it. I too wish the names had Orange stripes, but overall I really like the Uniforms. Yes they are plain, but that's what I like about it. Yes I wish their was stripes, but overall I am really please. Pants, like Rocky said, they are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook... wait I think I am confusing Rocky and Dennis Green. Anyway, I can't wait to see them in person on Saturday! B

    Overall: B+

    Pros:
    Logo
    Colors
    Uniform
    No Black

    Cons
    Wish Orange was more prevalent.
    Wish their was an Orange uniform!

    Its been a fun ride! Exciting off season with all this logo/uniform talk!

    Thats the problem, it looks fine, like in that pic, in some instances, but the image I posted is the same helmet, and sorry but it looks like **** there.

    There is a decent looking tush on the left of the helmet. That's all.

    Yeah. The helmet is a two-face. Honestly it looks like someone was playing with spray paint on that one

    Jags should have went all gold. or all black, and to be honest, I would have went with all black, would have looked nice, and Jags would have had a decent uniform. I don't think these are terrible, the helmet makes it terrible.

    I think nike doesn't realize that sometimes simple is better. You don't always have to be revolutionary in your designs. As much as i am against the new logo I'm thankful that our organization didn't let Nike go "futuristic" with our unis, like the Seahawks or Jags.

    If they would've just kept classic style numbers with 2 parallel stripes on the sleeves they would've nailed it. On the purple jersey the white stripe on the sleeve just looks odd and out of place.

    Just noticed that the NOB has serifs as well. Interesting.

    I don't mind the 28 ... but I do think this will look weird with some number combinations.

    I have to say... I was a skeptic going in, and now. I really like everything about the new uniform! If I had one complaint I would just say not enough orange. Other than that, pretty sweet uni! Love the new aqua! On the other hand, how can the Jags wear an all black uni in FL???? Just dumb!

    Logo: 6/10
    Didn't love the new and still don't. It is however miles better than anything before it.

    Wordmark: 8/10
    I much prefer this to the old one. I agreed with Section, when he said he wanted the wordmark to fit the classic era of Miami the city, and I think it does that. The old one wasn't horrible, but to me, it always felt more like a logo that had more to do with baseball than football or the city of Miami.

    Colors: 8/10
    I love that the new aqua is more like the original aqua, and not the algae green of the last redesign. I also like the sparse use of orange. I've always liked orange as merely an accent, it makes the new aqua and navy pop.

    Uniforms: 10/10
    Holy crap I didn't think I'd like them this much. When every NFL pundit acts like the SD powder blues are the best, they'll have to now consider our all whites. Seriously, I even like the "tramp stamp".

    LOGO 7/10

    I'm digging it more than when it has been released, but I still think it's not perfect for a football team. It would be great for SeaWorld, not as much for our Phins. I do like the perspective of the pose, though!


    HELMET 8/10

    Love it, but I would've liked the orange stripes to be a tiny bit thicker.


    WHITE UNIFORM 9/10

    It's a thing of beauty. Nearly perfect, but it doesn't get a 10/10 because...


    AQUA UNIFORM 10/10

    ...I just love the aqua one a bit more! The contrast between the number outlines is a bit better than on the whites.


    WHITE PANTS 8/10

    Consistent with the helmet and therefore just lacks thickness in the orange striping.


    AQUA PANTS -/10

    I reserve judgement on the aqua pants, because I haven't seen any decent picture of it as of now.


    WORDMARK 7/10

    Good font choice, but nothing to get too excited about. I'm not a great fan of the horizontal spacing. Could've been a little less.


    NUMBER FONT 8/10

    Nice choice, legible and not too complicated like the Vikes' and Jags' ones. 1 and 3 look a bit weird, though


    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


    OVERALL: 9/10 (not an average)
