    I'd be a happy man if we could ever get rid of the white on white.

    Not my problem if colored jerseys are superior. White on whites have had their time.

    Did you just call non-white jerseys, colored?

    Funny, I posted this same link 12 hours ago and it said "post requires approval". LOL! Guess cause I'm new here. Those Solphins.com uni's are awesome. The ORANGE stands out and compliments the AQUA to the max! According to a tweet yesterday by Volin, "No navy.... aqua numbers with orange trim". This mock up resembles the 1972/73 jersey numbers, with the fat Orange boarders around the shoulder numbers. That would be glorious!

    Anyone here a fan of Aqua tops with aqua bottoms. I remember a night game dolphins wore that where Ricky Williams broke out for over 200 yds rushing. I like that combo. at least once a year.

    They would have to have a dark and white set. I sincerely doubt there's any way the NFL allows them to get around it. Besides, I don't really think there's really definitive "home" and "away" jerseys anymore anyway. Some teams wear white at home earlier in the season and switch to darker jerseys as the season goes on. But there has to be contrast in a game which is why you need a dark and light set.

    In that scenario, if the "home" white uniforms are aqua with navy/black outline, then the other white uniform (with the orange outline) would have to be the alternate. The problem with that is unless the NFL changed their policy, I believe you can only wear an alternate twice a year, so one couldn't be a "home" white while another a "road" white. If I had to venture a guess, I might say the white jersey with the aqua and black/navy outline is the alternate jersey which might be worn a home a couple times this year.

    If you are talking about the Nike leak, I don't think that was a jersey, I think it was just fan apparel.

    Yes, that would be me! a "noob". After hearing about the leak from that Instagram post some dude put up, then Dolphins comfirming that was the logo. I quickly started googling "Dolphins new helmet" "Dolphins new uniform" and I always found mock up of those that lead me to this site. This is all for fun. Because as a true fan should know, what really matters is how the players make plays to win on the field. Dolphins goal should be to win the division and make it deep into the playoffs (and look nice while doing it).

    That's an interesting one. (I know it's not what we'll be wearing). I'm not crazy about the font for the numbers but I do like how clean it looks with no stripes on the pants or socks.

    You are not teaching anyone anything here. I know art enough to make my own mind up. Now you should shut up on the matter WITH ME but you won't. You don't seem to get it that I don't give a damn how you THINK you know everything on the subject of ART and especially graphic art. I don't care if you do it for a living either.

    And yes, once again, you're speaking for me and you're trying to narrow down one of about ten things that I said I liked about the old logo and seperate it into something that I guess is making you feel better.

    Whatever floats your boat.

    You're not very good at trying to get me mad. But remember that it does not take much for you to get mad. As a matter of fact, you'll read a post and get pissy when in fact the post had no content in it that should...

    But it's ok, I've seen you do the same thing to about ten people lately.

    Post RAGE sounds right.

    I just don't understand why they'd shoot a promo commercial with these uniforms and then not use them. Either I (as well as my source) was duped at an extremely high level or they are just ****ing confused right now.

    Ben Volin also doesn't like being told that he may be wrong. Yeesh.

    I know this is a longshot, but hear me out...

    I work in television and it is extremely easy to electronically change black to any color in editing...perhaps they always intended the trim to be orange, but used black in the shoot as a decoy...

    I've seen security measures like this used before in commercial shoots...

    My source works in the marketing department. I just don't understand why they'd lie to him.

    No big deal, Im likely wrong, I just know what I've seen and heard. No big deal. I guess we will all see

    I know I'm in the minority too but I always loved the white jersey/aqua pants combo. Was my favorite. I hope they incorporate aqua pants at some point for a change of pace.

    If our uniform looks anything like this then I'd consider it a home run. This is a nice, clean uniform.

    Maybe that is because that is what our uniform looks almost like now and you are afraid of change. ;) jk. But in all honesty it is pretty close to what we have now.

    I don't like to pick on anyone else's opinion because everyone is free too an opinion...

    That said, I'm going to do it anyway.

    I'm ELATED that we are getting rid of the ****ing aqua pants. The aqua pants are an abomination. Horrifyingly terrible. Aqua pants and white tops was a terrible look and when Saban put them in moth balls it was the best thing he ever did too the franchise.

    White tops with white pants. Aqua tops with white pants. That is all. Aqua tops with aqua pants is a college look, we are a professional football team, not Oregon. If/when we go with a third (because everyone does it for some reason) I want orange again, with white pants.

    not a fan of the number font or the shade of aqua they decided to go with (too light), but if this is what we roll with, i guess i can live with it.

    unified is still mad at the beat down my Flyers handed his Bruins yesterday.
     
  37. They need a wide aqua stripe with navy trim down the leg and it would be PERFECT!!!!! I kinda doubt it though at this point.
     
  38. Well Crazy I am still holding out hope that your info is correct. But with Dee saying that they going back to the original colors, I think I may be getting my hopes up for nothing. There is a chance that Dee has some investments in some local hospitals and is trying to make a quick buck. I am sure I won't be the only one vomiting uncontrollably if they go with orange trim, and if enough of us have to become hospitalized maybe Dee will get the return on his investment. That is the only way I can figure it. No sane person with good taste is going to like the aqua/orange over the aqua/navy. Unless they are secretly jet's fans. :cry:

    I've never tried to get you mad, that's never been my intention. My intention was to get you to understand that while many parts that go into a logo are subjective there is a very objective part and that's the craftsmanship. And in regards to our logos pre-1997, the craftsmanship is objectively bad. What sprang from that is a discussion claiming I'm everything from arrogant to petty to angry to purposely trying to make you mad, etc.

    I've went to school and worked my way up from unpaid intern to art director, in my career, I've even taught basic graphic design at the local community college for a few semesters. Its not arrogance to say I'm qualified to explain there's an objective part to logos or graphic design, its arrogant to act as if there isn't on your part. I am not making this up. This is not a rule only I know. I only brought this up again, because you acknowledged the logo wasn't perfect and wasn't "colored in" right and I thought since you could now at least admit that, you'd see that's the same thing as saying the craftsmanship is poor. It thought that was good opportunity to finally end this, I was wrong, because instead of that, you went full Ozzy.

    Sure, a logo can be art just as anything can technically be art. Since art is based on the eye of the person observing it..a roll of toilet paper can be art. Craftsmanship, however, is still important in all those things and still objective.

    I've never put words in your mouth. I've seen you type out that you like the logo because its the Dolphins logo and you'll never admit I'm right to me. Those are your words and sentiments. I didn't make them up. I didn't assign them importance.

    Personally, I think the only way that looks good is with a helmet like this:

    But, that would screw up the all white look this team is really kinda known for. IDK though, I could get used to an all aqua look for home night games. Shame the NFL doesn't allow for alternate helmets.
