I would bet if you polled (even a sample size) of the fans 80% would pick this logo/these unis over the current ones.

Should be darker orange around the burst, tweak the current dolphin to look a bit more menacing. I feel the uniforms going to have more color going forward youth like the neon brighter colors in fashion so I’m guessing a more vibrant teal and orange grey uniform.

The Dolphins light bluish-green color is aqua, as in aquamarine, not teal. It's aqua which has a root definition of water, as in what dolphins swim in . . .aqua, folks.

The new uniforms look like they are part of the Mothercare range for tots aged 3 - 7. It's such a gay hue of turquoise, not at all appropriate for the NFL.

Give me the old shade of aqua any day.

But an old children cartoon dolphin as in the old logo is???????????

It's instantly recognisable. A design classic compared to the generic can of tuna logo that we have now.

Well if that is all a team's logo should be, then might as well switch to this:

Tony, there’s no animal based logo on any NFL team that isn’t going to look either cartoonish or a bland stencil.

The idea then becomes to design said logo that’s eye appealing and instantly recognizable. The Dolphins logo of old met those requirements

No it didn't. The logo of old is "recognizable" because the Dolphins won more and were popular but mostly you have the benefit of time to say that. On it's own, the original logo is objectively terrible and the one after is subjectively terrible. The one now is bland, but that is its worse crime.

You like because you are used to it. No other reason.

Cartoon look doesn't really mean anything, neither does stencil. The reason they don't is because many different looks and feels can exist under "cartoon look" or "stencil".

What an incredibly pompous post. He only likes it because he's used to it?

Why do I prefer it as well when I grew up with the awful cartoon logo? Shouldn't I prefer that because I'm "used to it"?

Didn't you defend that graffiti "art" in Brooklyn that got torn down in lounge? Why are you the arbiter of what is deemed visually appealing?
