    Perhaps they thought our new colors resemble this:

    It is kind of the same shade.

    I also don't understand how people who don't like the new logo think this logo is "kiddy", the old logo was way more cartoonish

    I feel like a lot of Dolphins fans don't like the new logo simply because it is different. I had so many people tell me how the old logo was the worst in sports and looked like a "special education" Dolphin with the helmet on.

    I was not a fan of the logo change, but now, seeing it, that is the least of my complaints. The color just ain't right to me. Looks more like a baby blanket blue, than a true blue aqua. The best thing about the new uniforms is the number font.

    Baby blanket blue? Is that like "Love ya, blue" from the old Oilers?

    Not seeing it...

    Some similarities, but I'll take the new Aqua... ;-)

    People seriously got a problem with powder blue? Everyone goes gaga for it when the Chargers wear it. It's an awesome color.

    off topic but the fact that the Chargers use Navy blue as a dominate color over their powder blue bothers me. Powder blue looks so much better for them.

    Back on:

    Our unis don't look like the oilers blue at all imo

    it's weird because when you look at the aqua jerseys in some photos, it looks nice, but when i saw them in action sunday, they looked exactly how i thought of them when i first saw it...like an aqua creamsicle color.

    those pics in this thread show a lot more green in the aqua than what I saw on my HDTV.. thankfully, they were far more blue for me.

    It seems to me to be similar to some of the old Jags uniforms. One friend said they looked like the old Portland Breakers of the USFL colors.

    I think he means a soft shade like how the orange in the old Bucs uniforms was a soft shade and called creamsicle orange. Ours are an aqua equivalent.

    Maybe. Pretty sure I have it calibrated right though. Honestly, I liked the way the color looked on it, so I'll stay put lol.

    **** I like them. They definitely stand out on tv. The color looks like that light bright greenish blue tropical water. Logo is at least no worse for wear.

    Lots of grumpy old men by the sound of things.

    Guys, aqua is a funky color that is greatly susceptible to lighting, photo quality, etc.

    Just check this out and you will see that the color really isn't all that different from older versions: http://www.shanelk.com/image/57574448675

    Yeah, the color really pops and gives us a look that's identifiable with the area and one that's pretty unique in sports.

    What I don't get are the silly complaints that the light colors don't look manly enough. The uniforms for the Oilers, Chargers and UCLA Bruins are all examples of light colored uniforms that are considered classic. I've never heard one player from any of those teams come out and say he thought the team look like a bunch of sissies dressed like that, nor have I heard anything from an opponent saying he thought those teams were soft due to their uniforms. Overt testosterone combined with a fascination with some overrated mythical quality that people think the Raiders uniforms hold I suppose.

    Pastel color?

    It is a weird critism. Changing the color changes everything. Light blue looks different than light orange. For instance, light blue is a nice color and I think light green is an ugly color.

    It is almost like criticing the old Dolphins uniforms because they are dark just like the ugly Broncos Brown uniforms, which at one point were in the Hall of Fame for being the ugliest uniforms in NFL history.

    Testosterone does decline with age so I can see why some of these guys are grumpy.

    i hope that none of the criticisms being tossed around here are being pointed at me. i actually like the sd powder blues and ucla's current blue jerseys. i'm just not a fan of the creamsicle-like aqua hue the dolphins have decided to go with. then again i'm not a fan of the color aqua as it is, so it doesn't take much for me not to like it.

    as long as we're wearing all white 90% of the time, i couldn't care less anyways.

    As long as we can still call it aqua..... But believe me it will look different on a real football field, under sunlight.

    Creamsicle? The color is considered "pastel"... like the colors Sonny Crockett used to wear on Miami Vice back in the day... :lol:

    pastel doesn't make it sound any better lol

    like mrclean pointed out, i use the word "creamsicle" to describe the color because it reminds me of the old tampa unis and the tennessee vols colors (in their case, orange).

    "Creamsicle" reminds me of "Dreamcicle" and a line from "Heaven's Prisoners" with Alec Baldwin... :lol:

    Please don't use that word to describe the unis.

    When I hear the word "pastel" the only things I think of are baby's rooms and easter eggs.
