    I am an old school style NFL fan. A teams uniform and helmet is their identification. And the Dolphins uniform during the 80's to mid 90's were their best looking colors and design. I loved the color of the jersey's and the orange made the uniform really bright. In 1996 the team made a change in helmet logo and added dark blue/purple and it looked just horrible, it was not how the Dolphins team logo and colors should be. The team front office should have never changed anything on the team uniform. So for years I was not happy with the uniform and logo look. And more recently when the team made a drastic change in team logo, and colors where very heartbreaking. The new logo wasn't all the bad, but the team uniform colors and helmet stripes and white facemask was a real bad decision. Just horrorible.
    I hope the team will go back to the team look during the Dan Marino era.

    I prefer the cleaner look of the new uniform. The new logo is also a vast improvement over the old one. I do like the sleeve stripes on the old ones, but the numbering is odd. I'm mixed on the aqua coloring. That has gone through so many shade variations that it is a debate just to figure out which one is the "old" one. The new shade feels more Miami and fits the overall feel of the uni, but it's not my favorite color.

    The old logos should die in a fire. They are hideous, stupid looking and (the older ones) are poorly crafted.

    I dislike the new uniforms and told my wife to never buy me anything that has the new dolphin in it. Every time I look at it I can't help but think of the "tilde" symbol. I like the old school outfits they wore in the SF game. Those are nice. I'll even settle for the Marino era style.

    The new 'aqua' looks too much like the Florida Marlins color, or too close to the Carolina Panthers color. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure my dentist had scrubs that were exactly the same color so when Miami wears the recent 'aqua' color they look like surgeons out there, and not in a cool way.

    I like the old style much more than the new.The old logo may be dated to some but I don't like the new one at all.

    The new uniforms suck. Think we should go back to our undefeated season and only wear those. That's our identity.....perfection
