    Get off my lawn.
    I hope in the end it's revealed that the marketing team released all these fake logos just to **** with everybody and gain publicity.

    Really? That would be pretty funny if true...

    I don't think its the greatest logo ever, But I'm glad the cartoony-ness aspect of it is history along with the helmet on the dolphin.

    I really dont mind it. its growing on me. depending on the angle its at and colors i'd possible say its bad@$$.

    I think the hopes of him and the team, was that the logo backlash would be lost in the draft hooplah.

    First of they should have released the new logo and uniform design at the start of free agency. It was stupid to try and keep the new logo, under wrap for so long. People could have been buying hats, jersey, shirts and everything in between all this time.

    However, if all most people see of dolphins are the ones in the aquariums or on television, which depict them jumping through rings or some such. When you see them at sea, surfing either bow or counter wakes, they move a lot differently. And when they leap out there, they stretch out a lot more because they are leaping longer and not just higher.

    Not sure how free agents would view a team releasing their new logo while they're negotiating a contract, plus draft hooplah trumps Free agency hooplah 95% of the time.

    I'm talking about the fans who are upset about the logo overlooking it because what we did in free agentcy rather draft. And I doubt the players care if a team released the new logo when they were negotiating, dosnt affect them one bit

    Well if they're mad, they were asking for it. There's been enough hype and talk about it, they didn't really need to announce a date a full month ahead of time.

    Plus, this was guaranteed to happen. In order for them to sell the new merch and jerseys on the announce date, the clothes have to go into production beforehand, meaning someone was bound to take a cell phone picture. It isn't 1976. Even before cell phone cameras there were cameras small enough that people could carry them. March 28th or 29th would've been a better idea if clothes and jerseys are already being made.

    Assuming its true that this is it.

    I think the reaction isn't so bad. People like it, people hate it, and people don't care one way or the other as long as the team wins. That's typical. There's more people who like this than the prototype, so that's good. And there's WAY more people who like this update than the Marlins update, another plus.

    Also the person on Instagram that leaded the photos deleted them (our and the Jags jersey) and has now made his profile private. Seems he is in a little bit of hot water as well.

    Mike Dee smiles a lot and seems pretty happy all the time.

    I wouldn't want to piss him off though. I would imagine he is like this when angry...

    Is that true? I cant verify at work, but if that is the case i'm going to say the new logo is a done deal.

    Corey Mitchko is the one that discovered the leak on instagram and started tweeting it out...

    3 hours ago he posted this:

    Now his profile on Instagram is private. Connect the dots. :knucks:

    Sure you been fired from your job today and facing a major law suit from the NFL, but this Dolphin fan says thank you.

    The fins need to be fixed, no doubt. Specifically the one toward us needs to be made longer to fix the perspective. But it's far superior to the new leaked one. Better pose, more stylized, definitely an upgrade.

    If you do not like the new logo, just rock the old logo. No one is twisting your arm to buy new NFL merchandise.

    Well, since we have had no referendum on the issue, I would have to assume that there is no majority either way. Besides that, I am reminded of what happened in a Lincoln cabinet meeting. A decision was to be made and he polled the cabinet. I forget how many were present, but they all voted against the proposition. Lincoln was for it. He announced the decision something like this: "Gentlemen. There are seven 'nos' and one 'aye.' The 'Ayes' have it." I think Steven Ross had the 'aye' vote in this issue.

    This! If anything compared to most logo updates, this is more positive than most. The typical reaction is at least +80% against b/c most people resist change. Realistically, if maybe 25% like a new logo you consider it a win as eventually another 50% will get over it and then start liking it anyways. That last 10%-25% will probably never like it and always gripe that the old one was better (until they die off). My early impression is that most like the new logo. At worst it might be 50/50. We'll see if it's still like that when it's officially released. But if it remains 50/50 I would consider the new logo a huge success. My guess is that the main criticisms will be that it looks too corporate or like a cruise line, but IMO that's an upgrade over the special olympics jabs I've been hearing for almost 40 years. (Those immature "gay" comments will always be there unless you changed the mascot to something other than a dolphin).

    The other part to this is that some people care more about the uniform than the logo. The drop shadow was never that big of a deal to me. I didn't even notice it until I heard people complaining about it. After noticing it, I agreed that I like the simpler numbers better, but it was never going to be my big issue. But for others it clearly is. What they think of the changes will be largely based upon whatever they're big issue is. For some of course, the big issue is any change. You'll never satisfy them.

    So much butt hurt in this thread.

    Personally, I like it a lot. I was never too concerned about the logo to be honest. I knew they would do a good job and I think they have.

    The uniforms have been my biggest concern all along. Those can be ****ed up really easily.

    I laugh at the organization being upset. Did they sincerely think they could keep it under wraps the entire time? It has to go through suppliers and manufacturing, all of whom could leak it at some point.

    They went about it all wrong.

    If they released the logo a month ago, before it went to manufacturers and suppliers they would have had control over the release and would have dulled everyone's curiosity. They could have still had their "party" with the uniform release.

    Booth was a huge Patriots fan, at the time they where located in Virgina. Moved to New England after the Civil War and believe it or not Bill Belichick mother maiden name is Booth. [sad but true, I might have one or two facts wrong]

    I just don't get what people want, our mascot is a Dolphin. You aren't going to have a cartoony dolphin flexing his barb-wire tattooed bicep, smoking 3 cigars simultaneously, while smoking his own beef (tuna?) jerky. Go be a Raiders fan. I think this logo is sharp, I would love to see how it looks on the new jersey, and I would like for them to make this **** official already.

    My expectations were:
    *Our current logo, more modernized, more realistic, and more stylized. Not some business like, limited detailed, awkward pose that we are getting. Jacksonville got it right.
