With a new logo,a back to basics color scheme and the franchise on the upswing, the old logo will eventually be associated with "those years."
Danny at the Fins Golf Tourney... something makes me think he is "sporting" more than the babes and new logo on his hat...
Just got this hat. The colors are freaking awesome and the new logo is very quickly growing on me. I'm a big fan of the change.
Sorry I'm a little late on this (work has been crazy busy), but I had a total of 4 items cancelled from the Dolphins pro shop. 3 t-shirts and a Wake jersey. On 3/4 items, I initially got sent a "your item has been back-ordered" email, followed by the cancellation. I sent them an email basically saying that was the worst customer experience I've had - i'm yet to get a reply. Pretty disappointing.
No word yet on limited/authentic jerseys. Also, when the new gear first hit the Phins store, there were two white Nike t-shirts. One with the wordmark, one with the logo. That was one of the items I had cancelled - haven't seen them on the site since...
I posted this in the logo thread but be careful of fakes. They don't even use the right logo, it's really bad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Love the new direction of the Dolphins , but I wonder if most of you just want change more then that new Logo? We needed a change I agree. But deep down I think most of ypu know that new logo sucks nutz. But when your grasping for change any change will do. What I find truly sad is that one can't express his opinion without personal attacks. Even from fellow Dolphins fans. Whatever. Wear the little Fishy thing and enjoy it. I'll stick with my classic Dolphins gear thank you. And you KNOW Ross will be selling this Team within 5 yrs. And that owner is going classic again. I Garanfingtee it. 5 yrs. Tops.
1. The people you're addressing hated the last 2 logos and always have. We hated the piss poor craftsmanship of the first one and the stupid cartoony look of the last one. Also, nothing is more ridiculous than the Dolphin wearing a helmet, let alone it wasn't even a team helmet. This new logo, is not cartoony, poorly constructed or sporting a stupid tard helmet. 2. The logo in your avatar is not the classic logo, ftr. The last logo we had before this change you despise is not the classic logo. All of you that *****, never seem to address the fact that the logo that was changed was only around since 1997. And it was pretty far removed looks wise from the original that you pine for. 3. No one insulted you because you disliked it. You were insulted because you would not stop telling us how much you disliked it. We got it, you don't like it, we don't need multiple posts about how much you don't like it.
The new logo is such a huge improvement over anything that we've had. This wasn't about change for change sake but rather about improvement over something that was piss poor. As far as any guarantee from a guy who seems to have been wrong about anything regarding the new logo's popularity, what's that worth? If anything that probably guarantees the opposite. And why is somebody *****ing about the new logo in the merchandise thread? These redundant and irrelevant complaints should at least be constricted to the appropriate thread.
Dude, I hope you don't really believe that statement. I don't think most of us know that deep down. Most of us know that the new logo is light years ahead of where the old logo was. This is coming from someone who was just as upset as you initially. But I accepted that there was nothing I could do and started looking at it for what it is. The current sunburst is better than ever. The colors are better than ever. The dolphin's pose is better than ever. The old logo was just a sticker on a helmet. Watch some practice video and see how the new logo looks closer to a dolphin swimming as the players move across the field. Now for the part I hated to lose, but now I see that it just makes so much more sense. Yes, I wanted to keep the helmet on the dolphin. THAT was the part of the logo that was really iconic to me. HOWEVER, I can now admit that the helmet on the dolphin was a little silly. The new logo is sleek and streamlined. While I CAN'T guarantee anything, I would bet you that the design team did some research to determine what the best logo would be. They didn't just slap a drawing on paper like a lot of fans did. They determined what made the most sense. Our old logo said "feed me a dead fish because I just hit a ball with my nose." Our new logo says "I'm about to hammer the crap out of a shark and make him wish he'd never set fin in my water."
Gotta laugh at a winning percentage being given to a logo...... but I know some think that way so to each his own and Fiedler being referenced as one of our best QB's...... Good Lord!
Looked in here to see what products were being focused on and see the justification of the new logo is continuing in here? Since that's the case..... Look, I know you guys that hang out in these new logo threads like the new logo have an uninterrupted love fest going on here. That does not mean everyone or even a majority likes it. It just means that those of us that don't are not going to continue to argue about it as much as you guys continue to fixate on it in the threads. The yeah and Nay stats on it have differed in a number of polls on it from different sources. "Most of us know...." is simply your take on it and quite frankly a lot of people disagree as much as those that agree with you. I fully think our original logo and the version we went to prior to the 747 coming in for a landing version we have now were unquestionably better. It is what it is. Continue to love on the new logo since you like it but to make such blanket statements about everyone simply is not correct. Just sayin.
I really don't think you get my point, I am not saying that the logo caused us losing, I am saying that there was no good history with this logo. When people say I point out that, we never really had a winning streak with that logo
Also I wouldn't call it a "uninterrupted love fest going on here" we get our fair share of people who complain about the logo too!
if anyone sees this available online in L/XL, send me a PM with website url and I'll be eternally grateful.
How many of you didn't get that I was joking when I said that trying to lighten up this Love fest on the new lame assed logo? You all need to lighten up a bit. The Logo sucks , but I will still love the Phins. And again, I love the new colors and change of direction. Let me explain one more time for those too obtuse to get it. IMO we have had this logo for the whole 47 yrs. yes it has gone through changes. Duh. Upgrades, downgrades whatever. but basically at its core its the the same Logo that the 72-73' Team wore back in the glory days. Same one Dan the Man wore back in 84' , 92'when we were a force to be reckoned with. Instead of upgrading it again its completely gone. Its a lame looking fish now from 3 feet away. All our history has been erased from it. Don't know about you but there is more to this Team to me personally then just winning. Since the late 60's I have spent countless hours with my family watching and rooting for my Team. I can look back at that logo and see a wash of memories and remember who I was sitting with and where over the last 40 +yrs. I look at this thing and I see NOTHING. Na Da. O. Doughnuts. I feel the same. I was looking forward to winning again WITH my old logo. Hopefully a new owner in 5 or so yrs will agree. I believe it will be back. Just in time for Ryan Tanihill to be hitting his prime.
There are more reasons why this logo will be around longer then 5 years then there are that it wont Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Time will tell. But after recent events in the Miami political arena I see Mr Ross retiring and selling the Fins with in 5 yrs. I see a new owner wanting to put HIS stamp on the Team. One that goes back to the roots and the original Dolphins Logo. I can see it clear as day. Its coming. Just intime for Ryans prime winning years.
Also you say the new owner would change the logo back to the old, but at the same time leave his stamp. Makes no sense. He would want his own look, no? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lets move on guys and keep this thread about the Merchandise, if you like the logo or not keep it to the Logo thread. Respect other peoples opinions.
