    The reports/rumors are that the drop shadow is gone, but no stripes on the sleeves. I didn't like the orange on the mockups I saw. I've heard in a few places that other than the sunburst and the Nike logo there's no other orange.

    I'm a Florio fan. I've followed him since PFT was still widely unknown. Actually kind of cool to see a fan work his way up like he did. Much respect.

    LOL It's weird, but hearing his opinion made me like the new logo a little more. I'm a little surprised he didn't add a comment accusing us of tampering just for the hell of it.

    Yes. For a while his site was denied as a credible source.

    His work during the lockout was great.

    But IMO, he is very much the TMZ version of sports

    I am very much split on him. I get that his method gets traffic, but it's irritating when he appears to be purposely misleading

    There are no reports haha just me saying what it is. That's technically a rumor, since I have no way of verifying who I am or how I know.

    While I appreciate your report (I would consider it a report), that wasn't the only place I heard it. IMO reporting has now been relegated to the same level as rumors. I find that the posters who report stuff here (at least the ones I've grown to trust) tend to have a better accuracy rates than the "reporters" in the media.

    Do you know if the solid stipe on the helmet was for sure or was that still up for change? Also was the white facemask a definite? Thanks!

    Agreed. I hated that look. It reminded me of the collar on a golf shirt. That just felt off to me.

    The white facemask was confirmed. The look of the stripe was just rumors I believe.

    Agree. My friend brought those collars up when NFL revealed the new uniforms last year and I didn't think they were a big deal. Now, I just wish they would go away.

    I'm not always right. As a matter of fact, I can actually enjoy being wrong now and then.

    Now is the time where you go search all your posts to date and repost 50 of them in one post that subliminally show where you admit you were wrong by saying I'm right! Fact....




    You just cannot resist.

    That's too bad. I think with the white facemask it just makes for too much white (at least on the mock ups) overall. I liked the grey facemasks that we'd wear with our throwbacks. But maybe when they reveal the entire uniforms it'll look better.

    The logo did fail in one particular way. I was not alone here in wanting to see a shade of gray worked in the logo and subsequently the uniforms. That's pretty much off the table now. It looks as though orange/coral has taken a back seat to blue. The organization has been playing around with the color for a while now and it has found its way on the logo. It really is a new look and not a tweak

    The reason I am not more disappointed is that blue and the aqua work well together.

    As for how the logo might impact the uniforms, I would like to see how the blue translates. Is it just going to be an accent color? Will it be navy or Flag blue or something with a gray-ish tint?

    It seems that they are sticking with home all whites, but what about road games? I am hoping the aqua pants are killed and buried.

    I haven't heard any thing about how the aqua jerseys will look. I'll be looking forward to seeing the official release for those jerseys.

    :shh: a lot of people who are beat writers for the Dolphins either contacted me up front or via message boards asking for information regarding the uniform including pictures

    I'm curious where else you heard it though.

    Those who don't think this original logo leak was a club generated leak might be off base. Mike Dee worked for the Red Sox and Dr. Charles Steinberg. They were the master of that kind of nonsense. Dee is savvy and knows how these things go. I wouldn't at all be shocked if the Dolphins "leaked" the original design just to gain buzz, good or bad, over the new logo.

    I can say with 100% certainty that Mike Dee was not happy with the Nike leak and that his actions as a result tell me that he had nothing to do with it. I'll leave it at that.

    Resist what?

    See, I was always under the impression that for an argument to occur, there had to be a minimum of two parties who thought they were right. Now you're telling me when I argue with you and anyone else on this board, the argument is between only one party that thinks they are right...me. So, you've blown my mind now. I mean, I didn't know I was that...magical?

    The Dolphin NYC leak had to be on purpose though....didn't it????

    I like the logo, but I dont understand why they're going to the white facemasks. Not only is the aqua mask on the white helmet a great contrast, since they wear all white uniforms so often, it will eliminate one of the few aqua elements left! They might as well be dressed as ghosts. Are they going with all white socks next too? White numbers like the Heat's alternates (extremely lame)?

    SO crazy, now that the logo is official and we know there are white face masks...how about you put some of those photos of the uniform out there.

    No more words...just pics. Thanks. :knucks:

    The grey facemask wasn't because of any aesthetic choice, it was because they literally couldn't color the type of plastic that was used for a lot of the facemasks. Since you couldn't have mismatched facemasks, the metal ones had to be painted gray. Now it's different.

    You could be right. I remember, with the initial leak, the main complaint was that that logo was lifeless because it didn't have an eye.

    These things will undoubtedly always leak. Those hats and shirts don't just magically appear on the day of the unveiling. Lots of people see it, and most of them have a camera phone. Not saying they didn't leak it themselves, but it would have either way, eventually.

    Now at least we know why the mock ups of the stadium design have those navy blue seats.....it all makes sense now. They disguise better than orange when empty, and they match the new color being brought into the team logo design.

    i'm still not a fan of the pose as the logo is too elongated for my taste, but i do like the way the logo looks when it's positioned like this on the helmet (in other words, i can live with this):

    [​IMG]

    although, if the dolphins were going for this "complete change" and are moving away from the color orange, why did they insist on keeping the sun as the background? i mean, does it HAVE TO be there? at least for this version of the logo, it feels like it was tacked on.

    i think it would look better if the sun was removed and the dolphin was a bit larger and the only thing featured (ala ravens, seahawks).

    OK, so apparently I don't know how to post images anymore.

    Can someone who knows how please change the face mask color to either aqua or whatever that darker color is (navy?), or both, and post the results?

    On an aside, if anyone can give me instructions on how to post images, I'd be much obliged.
