so let me get this strait, he chose today to just make the announcement, its not an actual unveiling ?
Arn't the 66 colors and the current colors similar or the same? If so, the jersey doesnt have any logo on it anyway, so it wont look so out of place with the current helmets
Yes. Something seems weird, like they changed their minds late into the project or something. Or Nike couldn't come through on time, or couldn't make the color on the jersey that the team wanted (which they have a habit of the last few years. See the Eagles issue last season as an example).
Me too. Disappointed. Especially since they hyped it up originally as something new and changed... I don't care for throwbacks. Been there, done that. Over it.
imagine an all black, with just aqua highlighted, hicket the other day had a polo on that was all black with the dolphin just being outlined in a matte white..it was cool man.
Hey Rev. a friend of mine that is a Cleavland Browns fan said one of his favorite players ever was a Dolphin from this era. You have any recollection of John "Bull" Bramlett? Just Curious as it was a little before my time.
I think John Bramlett was one of the people who used to play both baseball and football in the early days of the AFL - until a few years after the merger.. Bramlett was a rugged individual at linebacker, and he is also, IIRC, one of the baseball players who is pictured as running through a billboard forming the outfield fence in a minor league ballpark. Those two memories seem to connect with his name. It seems to me that he was a Butkus style throwback - but that is from my onboard memory banks, which are faulty since they have not been defragged in some 60+ years.
Better than going with orange or being stupid with something like grey or black I guess. I'm going to remain upset indefinately that we don't have a darker shade of aqua as our color though.
Man, those throwbacks are sexy. I think our current uniforms are better, but those are great too. I can't wait to get me one.
The throwback's are awesome and were part of Championship Football, and great overall winning football for years. I hope this year's team is ready to wear them and plays football like the team's of yesteryear did.
I think gray would be great, at least as an accent color. Black is terrible yes. I think that phase is over. There's not much to complain about on this one. The color good. It's simple
The color you're talking about is not the correct aqua. The aqua we have now is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay closer to the original then that hunter green ugly crap we had.
If our current jerseys had the striped sleeves like these instead of the logo, they would be PERFECT imo.
Not a big fan, but they are supposed to emulate the ones from 50 years ago, which were pretty plain (as most uniforms were then), and I think that they do a fine job of that. Again, I would have chosen a dark aqua or blue true alternate instead of the throwback, but as a throwback, you can only do so much.
