    See my post with the logos. The new logo does not have navy in it. The miamidolphins website does not have navy on it. It has the same blue that's on the new logo. Which is not navy. If you can't see that, you either have a problem with your eyesight, or you need a better monitor. I would still consider it on the darker side, but it's certainly not navy. As the old and new logos show.
     
  3. You don't have to like it, but you do have to face it. If you are having trouble I left a number...
     
  4. So in your mind, navy is one shade of blue?? Maybe that is where your train is jumping the tracks. The color you show in both logos is definitely navy. Go to the link I left and that should clear it up.

    IMO, the accent color (i.e., other, darker shade of blue on the under side of the dolphin) is not the old navy. BUT, I've seen more than one variation on the density or darkness of that new color. So, not sure what to make of it right now. Maybe it is still being refined. Or, maybe it just looks different in different applications. I have to say that the darker (or closer to the old navy color) the better. BUT, I tend to like things on the contrasty side. JMHO. Different strokes for different folks.

    If you or I walked into a store wanted an item of clothing that's navy blue, it would be the same as the accent color that's in the old logo or the google search you conducted (there's a pic of a navy sweater). It would not be the blue that's seen in the new logo or on miamidolphins.com. That particular blue did not show up in your search. And also according to colorwerx, that shade of blue hasn't been used by any professional sports team before. Whereas obviously navy has. This has nothing to do with which you or I prefer. The fact is, what we've seen so far from the new logo isn't navy.

    I personally like the lighter blue color, but even if it turns out to be navy.. I'm also fine with that. I love the dolphins, always have and always will being from South Florida originally no matter what colors they decide to use. It is getting very annoying though every time I check this topic hoping for new information or a new leak or photo to read someone crying for the color navy and if it isn't how horrible and stupid it will be. Please grow up and stop posting the same things over and over again. Why don't you go start a new color topic, and you can discuss how dumb everyone else's opinions are there by yourself. Okay I'm done venting, I feel better now. :)

  8. THANK YOU, that is what I have been trying to tell them for 5 pages now. We KNOW it is going to be navy, that has already been established. Is it going to be as dark as before, that we do not know for sure, but by all indications, YES. Now can we drop it now??
     
  9. Right, I agree. And understand it is perfectly fine to be correct. I think the latest logo we have seen is obviously what they are going with. Ireland's presser looked perfect, and I think it is too late to change from that at this point. It may end up being slightly darker than last year's version. Let's hope so.
     
  10. If you walked in to a store and ordered a navy blue sweater you would get this:

    You obviously misread his post. But one done with this. If the color I see on dolphins.com is the actual color you can call it maroon for all I care, I like it. You say navy and I'll say light blue. We both like that color so who cares what we call it. I'm done with this color ****. We see the actual color with our own eyes, we can call it what we want, it still the same

    I hope it is NOT specifically Navy blue... I expect something uniquely ours as Navy blue is the blue used by the Pats and quite a few other teams... ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy_blue

    One final thing about the blue. I screen captured the photo of the Dolphin on Miamidolphins.com, eyedropped the blue, to find out the color in photoshop. The color is #005778. According to this site, http://www.colorhexa.com/005778 the blue on the Dolphin is
    Here is the interesting thing, that I noticed. Closest websafe color is: #006666

    006666 is the Webcolor of the old Dolphins logo. I found that interesting

    Also the old Dolphin navy is #13264c, #003333 websafe colors. So yeah, take it for what its worth. Now I am done with the blue

    Edit: did the same thing with the ESPN.com Dolphin logo, same results, #005778


    http://www.color-hex.com/color/005778 more info too

    Edit:
    checked the hat color #005574 very close, and its prone to be different because its not a vector image.

    oh and NFL.com version of the logo is the same blue. So if its navy, NFL.com, ESPN, and the Dolphins homepage all got the wrong logo

    And finally

  15. Are you saying that the color on the right is supposed to be our new blue?? REALLY??
     
  16. What is new about aqua, that has always been our color. Remove the old and new and you have our two new colors. Thanks
     
  17. Right, and white is used by about half the teams in the league, what's your point?? Are we wanting to drop white now also??
     
  18. If you mean the updated version in the Ireland's presser then yes we agree. It's certainly not light blue but call it what you want.

    I have yet to see navy on anything official, though i do see a lighter blue, or darker aqua, on the confirmed logo, and on the website. So either they're going to magically introduce navy on the uniform and use 5 colors, or navy is out. This conclusion took me all of 3 seconds. Why we have a navy blue awareness movement consuming the thread is beyond me.

    I love the new blue..... funny because i did a prototype mixing electric blue into our colors in this thread months ago.

    Haha :lol: look dude, do the same **** I did and see. I dot think I'm the one who needs the help getting use to the new color... And I don't think I'm in denial. Get over it. And idk if you missed this or not but the aqua is lighter then the old aqua. Hope you don't hate the either. Sorry to break it to you, Miami lighten up with their colors. Deal with it.

    IDK if you remember but Dee said that the colors have altered, and they were going with lighter colors. Going back to the old days. But dont take my word. test it yourself. These are the colors you will get. New colors are better by far!

    Well to be honest, the Aqua, Blue, and Orange are colors Dolphins never used before. The new aqua is close to the aqua used in the 70s but its different

    I have no problem with the color scheme. I like the new aqua and the lighter blue.
    The logo.....still trying to get used to it.
    The truth is, the uniforms will make or break this entire experiment.

    after some research, the New Aqua, is a new color the Dolphins will use. The orange how ever, was a color they used from 1980-1989.

    Just to tweak you into more of a Navy blue induced frenzy. Because there can never be enough posts from one user about said shade of blue. #000080 ;-)
