    Here is another story on this

    http://www.palmbeachpost.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/palmbeach/miamidolphins/index.html



    Found an interesting nugget from the fantastic blog Uniwatch, the world’s finest blog devoted to sports uniform minutiae.

    The writer, Paul Lukas, got a tip from a reader that the Dolphins are looking to make wholesale changes to their image.

    Monday, he wrote:

    “Word in Reebok/Adidas world is that the Miami Dolphins contacted them today to totally re-image them. We’re talking new logo, new color scheme, and new uniforms. Why? Because, according to their front office, they want to be “tough,” and unfortunately orange and teal don’t go along with tough.’”

    The story would have more credibility if the dumbass that wrote it knew we don't have teal in our uniforms.

    If the Dolphins ever change their uni's and/or logo and color scheme I'll never buy one. I like things just the way they are and repackaging the teams identity to try and change the image is silly, that change comes from results out on the field and not in a boardroom.

    The question is if this is a fresh lead or a regurgitation of a previous uniform change rumor.

    I'm hoping for and personally think it's a regurgitated rumor.

    That one rumor from the ESPN guy has been regurgitated about a hundred times now.

    I dug a little further and found that this story comes from a guy who writes in...
    I wonder if his friend's brother's neighbor's cousin has any insight on the QB battle? :wink2:

    I think it would be fun if we all emailed him some real zany info, just to see how far this could go. Like the new dolphin having fangs, or back hair.

    lol O man that would really suck. But at least the logo has nostalgia anyways.

    If you think that would be bad then listen to this:

    This girl I went to hs with was a diehard Detriot Red Wings fan. This girl has horrible luck. No common sense, coordination, etc. So she goes to get a tramp stamp tat of the Red Wing logo. The artist tattoed the logo backwards lol. Nobody noticed till it was all finished.

    Parcells and Co. have changed everything but the brand of toilet paper carried in the Locker Room. What makes anyone here think for a second they wouldnt change the Uni's?

    I'm always open to change, as long as it's GOOD change. A complete redesign of logo and color scheme may sound radical but i'll support it if it's done in good taste.

    I would be all for that. We just look bigger and tougher in those, when looking back at that thanksgiving game against the cowboys.

    Not talking smack, but real men do not call colors "aqua and coral"


    Light blue and light orange, maybe...:pointlol:

    Leave the unis alone

    I honestly don't think it can happen soon enough. I think a revamped and modern uniform and logo is past do.

    I would like to see something in Navy blue, aqua and white. But one thing is for sure....I would sure miss that Dolphin Orange.

    As for a logo, I would like something that would resemble the Dolphin Stadium or even somthing like we have here at The Phins. Just a little more modern.

    Don't get me wrong I still love our logo now and the old school logo we had. It would be a nice change.

    I believe there WILL be a change in Uni. ParLand have done everything possible to change the culture and image of this franchise.

    Dont be shocked if we have a new uni/logo next season. JMO though.

    we're good for a uniform change thread once every quarter. i think its been 3 or 4 months so...

    and we dont need to change. everyone knows dolphins are bad-***, and they kill sharks and rape and pillage and are hardcore. well they rape, i dont know about the pillaging.

    Exactly. The colors looked tough enough when Csonka was wearing them.
