Online Petition to keep throwback uniforms

I hope that petition is raped by a gorilla, then beaten with a mallet, then eaten by John Jerry after which he craps it out.

Lol good luck with all that. They just renovated the entire stadium based on the new design. All those new seats have the current logo and color. The new logo is painted, decorated, and embroidered all over the place. They're not changing it.

Fin D, you're a graphic designer aren't you? Isn't there an understanding that new designs often take time for people to come around to? I think anyone who doesn't like the new logo will come around to it eventually. Especially once we (hopefully) start winning consistently again. Hell, I've already seen a large number of people who have said they didn't like it at first but have since come around.

People see nostalgia in the throwbacks. A time with championship teams and hall of fame players. That's why they want it back. I like the throwbacks too, but not nearly as much as I like the current look.

As long as they don't go back to the old logo.

Such a terrible design.

Tell us how you really feel Fin.

:lol:

I just wish the whole online petition world would go away in general.

Its got nothing to do with time per se, its more about people as a whole don't like change.

"This is what I know, so its better, dammit!!!!" Its why old people tell the times they grew up in were better, even though Nazi's were committing genocide, we interred entire portions of our American population in camps based on race, blacks and latinos were second class citizens as were women and homosexuals.

The problem is people are stupid.

We see this every single time a team changes their uniforms and logo. The fan base hates it and deems it a downgrade. Patriots, Broncos, Eagles, Bucs, 49ers, and now Browns fans still scream to go back to their old looks. And that's just the NFL.

In reality, NFL teams should change their logo and look every 5 to 10 years. They are leaving money on the table. Plus things improve.

Imagine the amazingly terrible designs of the extreme 90s. That would have been glorious!

The funniest part is that its already happened to the Dolphins.

When we changed from the original to the 90]s era stuff (first dramatic change) people lost their collective ****.

Fast forward to last year, and people lost their collective **** again when we changed from the 90's era to current.

Its dumb. Its why I hate people in general. Its also why when I get my degree from my correspondence course at DeVry, I'm going full super villain.

You can't do that. I already spend enough money on Dolphins stuff. Having to replace everything every 5-10 years would be a nightmare. Most fans are the same so I can't see that ever happening in sports.

Besides, fans will always be buying new merchandise even with the same logos. Players change so people want new jerseys and stuff like that. But changing logos and colors too much is overkill.

And to your point, that's why I really like the current logo. It's clean. It doesn't look like it's from any specific time period like the 90's and 60's logos do.

They do it in the NBA.

College football is changing every year, sometimes they have 4 or 5 a year.

It doesn't have to be super extreme like the change of the Bucs or Patriots. Simple changes like the Dolphins in the 90s or the Rams in the 2000s

Fill out the outline petition and maybe it'll happen in 10 years, when he sells or dies. We changed logos quite recently. The stadium was remodeled with it and there's a ton of merchandise with it. Not happening any time soon.

I think we should wear the throwbacks once or twice per season... they aren't changing the uniforms permanently anytime soon.

Pretty naive to think it would even be considered.

Personally I love the look of the throwback jerseys but hate the antiquated look of the old logo. If it were up to me I'd like to see something that mixes old with new, which I think could probably be accomplished by keeping the new logo and accentuating the orange more on the jerseys, and perhaps adding the sleeve stripes back.

You'll always have fans that feel that way. It's just personal taste. I happen to like our current set much more than the previous set, but not as much as the throwbacks. IMO, some of the designs on the teams you mention were improvements, while others were not.

Well, I should say I'm taking about the logo more so than the uniforms. Jerseys can change every so often, but the logo should last way, way longer than 10 years.

The thing I don't like about college football is the constant helmet changes. Helmets should always be the same as long as the logo is.

Agreed on both posts. Throwbacks once a year would be cool. And I think the throwback uniforms are fine, but the logo and helmet are much better as they are currently.

Here is what I want to see

Hello all,
I just found this site and this is my first post. I am a Fins fan in South Carolina.
I would like to see the current logo with the tail turned down like the old logos. I like the current uniforms except for the logo. It just doesn't work for me. I have yet to buy anything with new logo. Can someone post a graphic of new logo with tail turned down.

Welcome... what you're looking was already posted a year or two ago on this site. You can find it by searching back to the time of the logo changes.

Well, this could get confusing.

Not bad on those uniforms, but I would like to see the orange thicker around the dolphin.

I really like the throwback, I ill not buy anything with the new design as I do not like it at all. I am ok with the old Helmets too. However, I could live with the new helmets if the orange was more dominate.
