    This is the part of Ben's Tweet that I hope is soooooo Wrong! I mean come on a Tramp Stamp. Let's just say it is real. Nobody in the stupid organization would point that out. What kind of idiots are designing this uniform, geez.

    I'm talking about their second logo which started in 74. Nothing that poor about it except the filling in of the colors. It does not have to be perfect and this newest logo is a good example of that. There are quite a few things that could be different thru my eyes.

    As for outliving everyone. I'm not THAT old yet but some in my family have lived well into their 90's including my gramma who was one month from 100. I always say dream big so hopefully I can come close.

    - Surgery was a success except for we lost a pair of forceps in the patient.
    - That house was painted perfectly except for all the drips.
    - Dinner was cooked to perfection except for the unthawed frozen mashed potatoes.
    - Best flight I ever had other than that engine stalling.
    - Talk about excellence? I bought this computer that was so awesome, half the programs worked.

    The quality level of craftsmanship is important and you'd agree if it wasn't the Dolphin's logo and me saying it.

    miami could be just leaking information about the orange so people are surprised when they see the black. obviously there are miami staff on all these boards monitoring miami fan's opinions. i like black better than orange personally.

    You love talking for people don't you?


    Great art is hardly ever perfect.

    Now you should go try getting under someone elses skin because you know damn well, I'll have you cussing and calling me names in about 5 more posts and It won't even be my intention...

    Great art is not the same thing as a great logo.

    And the craftsmanship portion of great art is the same as the craftsmanship of a logo or the craftsmanship of a shoe in that craftsmanship is not subjective.

    I'm also not speaking for you...you have already said you love the logo as is because its the Dolphins and that you'd never admit if I was right or not.

    Crazy was shown a photo, he was kind enough to share the information. Give the guy a break people and lay off. In a few weeks we will see the official uniform and we all see the end result.

    The outline in that photo looks more blue than black. I could live with that but would be really disappointed to see black accents. Makes no sense to me, since there is already a dark color in the palette to use.

    I dunno. But I have an unworn aqua tannehill jersey with the tag still on it. Im probably gonna leave it that way. If he becomes great, then 20 years from now I'll have a relatively rare Tannehill jersey with the 'old' logo on it.

    I was told by the pro shop staff at the practice facility that there won't be a firesale. There will be enough people buying the old stuff for them to just sell at reg price and have it move on its own. There will be a few clearance type items but not a major blowout sale.

    Logo is okay. But if they outline the numbers with blue it's gonna boarder on the Carolina Panthers look. Aqua and Orange on the numbers ONLY.

    Crazy, do you think maybe the navy outline was the original idea before they changed it to orange? You've been great throughout this process but IMO navy trim doesn't really make sense. Not that it won't look good but orange just seems like the norm.

    Though maybe that's what they don't want with the new unis.

    The Orange outline was first, the navy outline was last.

    They shot the promo (45 seconds) using the navy outline.

  23. MAN I hope it's aqua with navy trim, and not aqua with orange. Those mock ups with the wide stripe on the helmet that are aqua with navy trim have me pumped.

  24. If they change it back to orange outline instead of navy, I am going to throw up. I have been telling everyone how great our new uniforms were going to look, if they have the orange trim I am going to be a liar.

    Like Crazy said, he has shown me both photos of the 1st design, and photos of the new design. These photos are legit, so his information is legit. With that said, I hope ben volins info is legit too and they made another change to the uniforms

    Bottom line is, the Dolphins ARE Aqua and Orange. Not Aqua and blue. Uniform/Logo redesign? Fine. Change team colors? No thanks.

    Personally speaking I think there is a great deal of obfuscation going on. I do believe you saw the uniforms with the navy outlines, I've never doubted that. But I'm starting to think it was part of a focus group test, one that you were unknowingly part of, and that they changed their minds once the generally negative reaction came back. Think about it, how much would it actually cost a team to do a couple hundred mock-ups over the course of a two year design process?

    Also, even with all the info out there, I have the impression that quite a bit is being held back. Volin's info leaves a lot out, unless you actually think that Nike is going to do such a bland uniform after designing a logo that's a rather radical departure from past logos.

    The more I read the more concerned I get.
    I already dont like the logo, and now the unis are getting rid of orange for blue or black? Yeah, just great.
    So our color scheme is gonna be aqua and blue/black?
    WTF.

    What he's saying is that there have been a couple of different uniform prototypes. The first was apparently with orange trim, the second with black or navy trim. This isn't uncommon when a team is changing their look.

    They then used the uniforms with the black/navy trim in the photo/promo modeling shoot that would probably get shown at the draft party or put online to view.

    My thought here is that I believe that modeling shoot was done with Dansby, so I'd imagine that they'd re-do it with a different player. It may very well be that they've decided to go back to the Orange prototype during that time.

    BTW, perhaps an important distinction here. Ben Volin's tweet right before he describes the uniform:

    So he apparently hasn't actually seen it. Someone just told him the details.

    It should also be mentioned Ben Volin was being "told" this after I showed maybe 3 people the picture. I'm starting to wonder...

    But then again, he goes on to describe the pants. Granted, he describes the pants the same way I describe the front of the jersey above the numbers (DOLPHINS in silvery font) so maybe that's a coincidence or they decided to give the Dolphins a tramp stamp

    Why would anyone want the Miami Dolphins to look like the Tarheels? Aqua numbers with orange trim is the only way to go.

    B/c the aqua with orange is ugly b/c the colors don't compliment each other... and not near as visually appealling. Right now, we have aqua and orange as our primary colors with navy being the accent. Instead, we are going to aqua and navy (which compliments the aqua much better than the orange) and use the orange the 3rd color more as an accent.

    And the Tarheels are a baby blue... which is nothing like aqua.

    Thick Aqua stripe down middle of helmet with Orange stripes on the sides. Is the only way to go. IMO

    Doesn't even seem like that much of a change.......Meh. Although I like it, I was hoping for gray/black. I also thought the aqua helmet was dopeee.

    I disagree to an extent. Blue on Aqua can be complimentary, but I love the orange and the contrast is what makes both the aqua and orange stand out. Plus it's unique.
