    Here's another: http://pics.lockerz.com/s/288287146

    OK, so I keep reading on Twitter that Dee today confirmed it's the real deal (and why else would Odrick have it on his shirt). So if this is the case, waiting a month to "unveil" the logo is smart why exactly?

    May as well hold a press conference this Friday and show it off in it's full glory. Waiting now is about as dumb a decision as this team has ever made.

    It is really easy to make a custom t-shirt. I have friends that don't have 1/100th of Odrick's money who could make this shirt.

    Yeah, I said the same thing. It makes no sense.

    I won't judge the uniform though until I see what it really looks like.

    Oh, agreed, I would think though that Odrick wouldn't be able to do this w/out the team's approval, no? One would think anyway.

    It's.... The same thing. The wrap around on the helmet makes it look different, but it's not. Quick, someone with the Copperfield pic.

    If they're deep sixing the drop shadow, it's a certainty. Going by the logo, I'd say you're going to see a font with rounded corners and ends that come to some sort of point or sharp angle.

    ^ Looks a lot better with the orange outline. As great as Crazy has been, I'm hoping he was wrong about the navy outline.

    That's perfect, but the primary color is off. That appears to be teal blue instead of aqua.

    Is the aqua really any different than it was for the past 15 years? In the original leaked photo last week it looked like the same exact color.

    You are searching for a lot more nuance than has been given. I don't understand why, but too each his own. It doesn't look a whale just because the tail is in X position.

    We are talking about a shape, because the logo is not a photo or precise drawing of a dolphin. Just because the tail is in a position different than what people expect, doesn't change the shape of the logo, a shape that is very clearly dolphin.

    If people were saying why is that dolphin's tail in a position that is iconographic to a whale......then you'd have a point. That isn't what has happened, that is only your interpretation. In fact, its just as likely, that people have said it looks like a whale because they dislike change and are rationalizing their dislike, by taking anything they can think of to blast it.

    Personally, I'm content merely pointing out that:
    You'll notice, I took great pains to point out I'm taking about shape in my analogy.

    Well, I never knew the definition of the word "iconographic"... but that is exactly the point I was trying to make w/o the vocabulary to describe it.

    And I like change a lot. Traditionalists/purists annoy me. I hated... HATED... the helmet on the dolphin and how cartoony it looked.

    I do find that the rotation of the new dolphin helps remedy the position of the tail being iconographic to a whale...

    Yes. Dee confirmed it and it's starting to be leaked on purpose as Odrick is wearing a shirt with the new logo during a team charity event.

    Every single time you see several players together at a hospital..etc....

    They ARE ISSUED the apparel to wear.

    So this "leak" was intentional.

    The logo the NFL accidentally leaked looks like there is no change in the colors.

    But Odrick's shirt looks like it has a lighter aqua on it.

    I want to say again, I bet every leak has been intentional.

    The first leak from the Dolphin NYC group, for example. Ross and Dee happen to have an impromptu tailgate with these guys then a few weeks later.....the NYC guys leak the first logo. this has been done along the way to get feedback without putting it out there directly and more importantly to generate buzz and press.

    The Jags didn't do the same thing and released theirs earlier and are saving their uniform unveiling for later. Well, no one knew about any of that outside of this thread because no one cared. The way Mike Dee did it, we've gotten a deluge of local media coverage and quit a bit of national media coverage.....and we still haven't shown our uniforms either.

    Who did it right, us or the Jags? No question we did.

    Re: Miami Dolphins New Logo Thread

    I'm talking from my point of view, and defending those who share my POV. If they don't have the nuance to explain it, it doesn't make your argument any more valid.

    If Mr. T wore high heels, the silhouette logo of him would change his shape.

    A turd on your turkey affects the whole meal.

    -It looks more like a whale because it seems to be swimming. Which is a pose more iconically linked to a whale logo.

    -It looks more like a whale because the fin is flipped up. Again, a very iconic whale image even in nature since whale's submerge and leave the tail up and out of the water. While Dolphins jump.

    -It looks more like a whale because the iconic dolphin smile is greatly minimized compared to the current logo.

    -It looks more like a whale because of the teal, white and navy striping. Dolphins don't have such stark contrast in their coloring in nature. Whales do. As stark as can be by being black and white.

    All those combined don't make the new logo a whale logo. It still looks like a dolphin logo. But maybe now those of you who've been denying anyone who sees anything "whalish" about the logo can appreciate another reason beyond "you just hate it." Because I love the new Dolphin logo, even if it slants towards the iconography of a whale.

    Thank you. I hate today's "music". I listen to almost everything from the 60s to the 80s. Plus Nirvana, The White Stripes and, yes, Green Day. I have to say the Boss is my favorite. By far. Attended a concert last year. My next one will be in May.
    And The Beatles are my number two. :yes:

    Nor yours.

    But would it chnage the shape to look like a woman/ No. This is not a crazy point I'm making here.

    Um...ok?

    Most of those make no sense.

    Would it really be valid if I said because its in swimming pose it looks like an otter? No. Why?

    The only argument there is for anything "whalish" is the tail's position. That's it. Just like high heels aren't enough to make Mr. T's shape look like a woman's shape, an upturned tail is not enough to make the dolphin shape look like a whale shape.

    I don't love it or hate it, the only positive I'll give it, is that its not the old logos.
