Some people are saying that the Dolphins might wear them for the home opener against the Jets. thephinsider- I hope! RT @DavidDwork: I'm hearing that the Dolphins will be wearing their orange jerseys for the home opener Sunday the 26th vs. the Jets -twitter. Obviously not official news or anything, but it does seem likely after last years memorable game. And they'll probably announce it sooner to try and make it a tradition to get the fans to all wear orange like in college. But...who do you want to see them worn against? home opener against the Jets?-Try to make it a tradition, or risk jinxing it by wearing them against the same team two years in a row? vs. Patriots?-Switch it up again against a different team, not that we need any help against Brady in Miami. vs. Bears? -Switch it even more against a completely different team on Thursday Night? also the 25th anniversary of when the Dolphins put a stop to the Bears going undefeated. [Maybe they'll wear 1985 throwbacks?] Other-Day game...maybe around Halloween. Doubt it...it's a primetime thing.
Haha, I was just thinking about this today. My guess will be the Bears game. I doubt it will be the home opener, makes no sense to wear an alternate for your home opener. New England is possible but mid-season game on Thursday night against an NFC opponent makes perfect sense. And yes, I am a fan of the orange jerseys.
I responded before I read the tweet in the OP. I would be pretty shocked if they wore the orange for the home opener. If it's an opener, it should be your regular jersey IMO.
NBC has requested that teams do not wear alternates in the past, I would assume that will be the case this year as well. Plus, let us not remember that we had two early primetime games last year and we wore Aqua vs. the Colts before wearing the orange against the Jets. If we wear them, it will be against the Patriots, ESPN loves the alternate stuff.
I'm torn on when I want them to wear the jerseys. Well, I hope they wear throwback jerseys either thanksgiving weekend[70s or early-mid 90s] or vs the Bears [1985]. So that leaves Patriots or Jets for me. I'm thinking it'll end up being Patriots once the date approaches and they put in the requests, but I kinda want to see them vs the Jets again. Rex must have nightmares of that orange...Oh wait, they won in Aqua too. Either color works then.
I'd like to see them wear the orange jerseys against a team they haven't worn them against, so I would have to say Chicago. On a side note, anyone notice how all of the wins w/ the orange jerseys have been epic?
It's official. They ARE wearing them in the home opener against the Jets. I find it a little weird we'd wear them for our first home game. Looks like another orange nightmare for the Jets! http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/individual-game-tickets-go-sale-saturday-july-31st-10-am
Against the Super Bowl champs, down by 11 with 3 minutes left and to top it all off, that last TD pass from Feeley was right in my face. The Jets being my most hated team was sweet but I just cannot tell you how it felt in that stadium that night...
Well then it's official, they're wearing them against the Jets. Well you can still vote for who you would have chosen. I wonder if they'll be building it as the "Orangeout" theme again. Last time they only said it like a week or 2 before, now it's exactly 2 months before that game. And did anyone notice that for the Bears game it says "Aqua Night"? Does that mean they'll be wearing the full Aqua jersey/pants combo that they last wore against the Bears in primetime? I'm guess that is what they mean. That was 2002 or 2003? And I guess that's a no for throwback jerseys again this year. And hey wasn't there also an honor roll induction on that night? Because that's when they're doing it this season too. all this Deja Vu from 2002/2003 and 2009 better not extend to the end of the season when the Dolphins collapsed.
Question: Is it just me going crazy, or do i remember a game where they wore black jerseys? I swear I remember that once, but I'm not a 100% sure.
Csonka's number was retired that night "officially" That was the game when Ricky ran for 216 yards. Something like that. Nope. Never happened. They sold black jerseys for a while, along the navy ones, but the team never actually played in them.
I really hated them initially but I've come to accept them. Not like them, but I have stopped complaining that the team wears them.
LOVE IT! I for one LOVE the orange jerseys... Crazy, the Dolphins incorporate all my favorite colors. Anyway, it makes sense I guess and it makes more sense that they are wearing aqua the week of Honor Roll induction against the Bears!
Nay, Nay, I say. Never shall a word save that of approbation proceed from my lips for this abomination of the ages. I shall rail against this atrocity whilst still I have voice with which to protest. I shall rail as my voice faileth, but so long as my digits hath capacity to give my thoughts speeding touch to the ubiquitous screens of Dolphindom, I shall with all my might and fortitude continue to struggle against this unseemly blight of the orange, which was formerly restricted to such as the Buccaneers in the youth of their long misfortuned franchise and the ever ridiculed Bruce the Buccaneer logo, or the altitude addled denizens of Denver who mismatched the name bronco with the color of a traffic cone, and which hath now has been by profiteering most foul been foisted upon the gray masters of the deepest blue, playing in clarity of the oceanic sun, as a most horrid means of cloaking our warriors of the Gridiron. I will fight this foul excrescence on the beaches, I will fight their existence on the written page. I shall fight on the air waves and give vent to my disdain when (and if) ever I am given opportunity, and I will fight on the net. I shall never aquiesce to the intrusion of the orange into the sacred realm of the white and aqua warriors of the gridiron. I SHALL NEVER SURRENDER!!!!!!!
I don't like the all dark color uniform at all, for ANY team. It looks like pajamas. I like the orange jerseys now. Didnt at first, but after beating the Patsies, I like them. After the Jets, I love them. lol
I was at that game, it was a great game...I believe that Mcknight was the one that caught the TD pass I might be wrong. I remember everyone going crazy, that said I do pick last years game as a better game just because its the hated Jets.
The orange jerseys grew on me, and now I want one! I hope to find a cheap one though, cause I mostly wear my aqua and white.
I beleive it was Derrius Thompson... QUOTE=yousamook;1192154]I was at that game, it was a great game...I believe that Mcknight was the one that caught the TD pass I might be wrong.
