    The Falcons logo isn't better. IMO that is one of the worst logos in all of sports. Hey look...it is a bird that has transformed into an F. *yawn*

    Interesting since it is pretty spot on for a dolphins tail.

    Any one who mentions "it looks like a whale" or "a whales tail" knows nothing about a dolphin and hasn't done any fact checking.

    Quick thoughts on logo leak: No clue if it's real and I think it's very easy to be negative right off the bat. Change scares people. I'll reserve judgment A) until we know if it's real and B) until we see how it looks on helmet/with uniform. Hard to judge it standing alone.

    Finally, as I've said a million times--there are no right/wrong answers with this kind of thing. Everyone has and is entitled to their own opinion. This sort of thing is as subjective as it comes. Respect all opinions.

    Jesse Agler will reserve judgment until it's unveiled and then tell you he loves it, because he remembers who signs his paychecks.

    You have it all wrong. This is what a whale tail looks like.

    Maybe it's just me, but they look exactly alike, except for the barnacles on the whale.

    It's just that Dolphins usually aren't seen with their tails up like that. So it's more of a Whale pose than a Dolphins one.

    Since everyone stole the wildcat concept from us, we should just steal other team's logos. Rotate them weekly. When we p,ay the Raiders, we have the same logo, but put the patch on the other eye. The Pats? Turn the flying Elvis around. And we do it in our own color scheme to really tick off the fan bases around the league.

    People complained because the current logo was too cartoony, now people are complaining that this one is too plain. I guess they could have made it more life-like but I really like the cleanness of it. And I love our current logo as well. My guess is you'll grow into it once it gets more exposure.

    Also, the Pats logo is often criticized. Most people don't like it and most rather have the classic logo and colors.

    The overall response to the new (now old) logo was positive. People thought it was a nice modern version. You can even check out Cris Creamer's Sports Logo site and see that it has a pretty high rating. Like I said, this proposed one is generic and corporate.

    And I've never met a single Pats fan who prefers the old logo to the new one. Patriot Pat was probably the second most made fun of Mascot, behind Bucco Bruce. Probably because both looked like the enjoyed it from behind.

    I visit that site often, and trust me, I love the logo we have now too. Hell, I grew up with it. But I have no issue with this change. The biggest problem everyone complained about was that there was too much going on. Too much detail. This one may be boring, but I like it. It's clean. And I like the way it looked photoshopped on the helmet even more.

    Really though, like Jesse Agler said, everyone will have their own opinions on it. This stuff will always be mixed.

    Like I said, I just think it's an unnecessary change. I'm sure there are financial reasons at play here for Ross, which is fine. I don't really blame him for that even though I think he's making a mistake if he settles for this.

    tell you what. Let's compromise.

    Drop the Sun. Add a "M" instead. I'll be happy with the blind Dolphin having a seizure.

    You're all about this "M" logo, huh?

    Would be pretty cool as a secondary logo inside the sun.

    Giants, Packers, Bears, 49ers, Ravens. All great franchises that incorporate a letter logo representing their city. let's join them.

    Unnecessary in that it doesn't look better. Sometimes logos become outdated, like the Buccs and Pats, as I mentioned.

    The Tigers, for example, changed their logo from a Tiger to an Old English 'D' because they were so horrible during those years and associated the logo with losing.

    It's change for the sake of change.

    It's really not though.

    Either way, do you consider it an upgrade? I don't see many here saying they love it.

    How is it outdated? I'm all for a new logo, but newer doesn't mean better. I prefer a lot of the fan made ones. Unfortunately, the one the Dolphins came up with is the one I like the least, and I'm not alone there.

    There's always throwback stuff. Maybe this new logo will grow on you. Or maybe that's not even the finished project.
