new uniforms?

definitely need to wear the orange this year. Love them

 

That kinda falls under the argument I pointed out already.

Why such a fear of change? I honestly can't understand it.

If the Dolphins do change uniforms and not to the "nostalgia-pleasing' 70's uniforms, how many of you are actually going to stop being fans of the team?

I can understand if there was a total change of the team name and color scheme. The fact is, though, that the uniform isn't what made the team great in the 70's... It was the players, the coaching, and the ownership all working together.

The League today is not the League of the 70's. Most of the players today, while arguably bigger, stronger, and faster than their counterparts in the 70's, couldn't play with the ferocity and tenacity that the earlier players possessed. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that I'm totally against a change back to the "nostalgia-pleasing' uniforms of the 70's... Simply because the players of today don't deserve it.

Just my opinion.

 

Wow. Paragraph of the year.

 

Tougher looking colors??

Yeah this looks so wimpy....





Some good ol pure white with some good ol mud n dirt looks awesome to me.

 

qft

 

The all navy jerseys were nice. Not a lot of people remeber them

 

Well, don't forget that we still have this helmets sitting on the shelf just begging to be made:


"This unique helmet was first proposed around 1990. The obviously radical change was never adopted."

 

Sorry guys but the 70's are over. Don't mess with what we have now. I think they are the best looking uniform's in the NFL today.

 

I wouldn't go that far. I think we are due for a change as well, but can mix the old and new without going that far into the new arena football heavy style uniforms.

For starters, I would like to see us get rid of the stripes on the helmet and go back to more of a cream color helmet than the bright glitter filled white.

 

It's cool, but it doesn't feel right for the team.

 

Man this looks like it comes out of arena football

 

I'm with you. I would like to see the Orange ones at least once a year around a Halloween home game. I really like the all aqua ones too.

 

I think it's also worth noting...Czonk could've been wearing a pink tu tu, and he still would've been the biggest bad *** on the football field!

 

we never wore them in a game.. wish I could say the same for those ugly assed orange abominations.

 

can you link me up with this "proof" bro? can you offer us an example where the colors or logo has won even a single game.. I can't remember any teams coming out for warm ups and deciding to go home because the other teams colors scared them into a forfeit. I've been watching a LOT of years now and can't recall seeing this supposed phenomenon even once.

 

Yeah, like it does the Raiders...just as long as they have good enough players.

Otherwise, their intimidating silver and black, with the raider on the helmet means jack squat when they field a team of less talented players.

 

Our unis will not change this year or next according to the Ross Q&A this morning. Who gave this 2 stars? lol

 

As they say up here in South Georgia;

I heard THAT!!!

No bloody ORANGE JERSEYS!!!

 

Sorry bro, but that isn't a scientific study, it's a guy making claims based on his assumptions of a soapbox derby race outcome. How does he know that the other drivers were effected by the color and weren't just crappy driver? How does he know the outcome wasn't impact on the car's design rather than the color effect on the competitors? How many runs in a controlled setting did he run?

That isn't a scientific conclusion in the least.

Now there have been studies done that say that color can effect your mood, but out on the football field it's more than likely going to be nil because players are focusing on the play, there is background noise, background colors, etc. I don't think that color of the uniform has anything to do with the success of a team, it's the players and the game plan that make the difference.

 

Please please please tell me you're joking?

This article is total BS and who knows how old it is? The LA Raiders?

You also realize that they mention two of the NFL's worst teams in recent history right? Especially the bungaloes.

Tell me I have to attack one of the following two people standing in front of me at the same time....Gilligan wearing Black and Kimbo Slice in pink an Gilligan better hope black makes him run faster than me...

 

Well, this does speak volumes:

Iowa's visitors locker rooms..


"Iowa’s legendary former coach, Hayden Fry, was a psychology major in college and read that pink can have a calming effect on people (like certain narcotics). But it’s also possible that he just thought it was funny. Some opposing coaches, like Michigan’s Bo Schembechler, hated the pink so much that he had the walls covered when Michigan played there. Gotta love quirky coaches.

When Kinnick was renovated in 2004, the walls got even pinker."

 

ah they were not remembered, beacause THEY NEVER WERE WORN!

 

Don't mess with the colors. There are enough Red/xxx teams and blue/xxx teams in the league. Our colors are original and help define the team.

There's another thread where Ross says they're not messing with the uni's this year or next year (missed deadlines) so don't expect anything radical at all in the next 2 years.

Tweaks in the unis are fine, but the base colors MUST stay the same.

I actually thought TB should've kept their old orange unis. Their current unis look ok, but it's like they are a different team.

 

This is my argument for preserving the "originality" of the uniforms.
To suggest to the player who wears it, a tradition, that win or lose, they'll be compared against those before them, as they become part of that tradition. This imo is what should be conveyed, a sense of inclusion that they, as do their uniforms, carry the sublime proclivity or disposition, as those who were never beaten in them.

 

I can see where you are coming from in this, but i'd like to point out that the US military has gone through many, many uniform changes over its many years. Does this change the connection to the heritage of the men and women who wore the US Military Uniform before them? Is there not a connection between the 18th century Sailor to today's 21st century sailor? Is a Marine any less of a Marine because he doesn't where the same uniform as those back in 1776?

 

No thanks! Colors have nothing to do with being better or worse in football. Period!! That's all BS!

 

colors that you wear don't.. colors that you apply DO..

black and blue brother.. put it on um!

 

Colors.....

Our Aqua and Orange will make opponents Black and Blue

 

The fact they both wear uniforms, is about the extent to what I can see the two associations share in common.

 

good idea

lets also all self mutilate our groins in mass at the same time. thats a good idea too
