    I was thinking that since it's almost a guarantee that in 2012 The Miami Dolphins will be introducing a new Head Coach, a New GM (GOD PLEASE!) and an entirely new staff as well as players, and schemes that we should do away with the current uniforms and breath a fresh breath of AIR into this franchise.

    Everytime I see that uniform now I recall all the failures this team has had since Shula left. Everyone around my town just snickers when I wear it outside. This proud franchise is now know as one of the worst teams ever. We have been bottom dwellers and half assers for years now and I'm sick of it. I'm not 100% sold on Cowher coming in and fixing things as well.

    I like him alot but in all his time with the perfect storm of players and ownership he won ONE Superbowl and has a losing record against the Pats. I don't want to go down that road in this thread but I do want to know if anyone else would support a fresh start and just allowing everyone to burn their jerseys and begin a new era for this once Mighty Franchise.. Someone needs to put that ailing wolf to sleep once and for AL!!

    I agree. I heard Ross brought in some new celebrity owners.. Batman and Robin now own 2% of the Dolphins and have agreed to change our logo from Dolphins to birds, since there are a lot of birds in Miami.

    The Miami Robins. With their new uniform:

    ****. Really? It's not even the offseason. I mean, sure, somebody has to bring this up every offseason, but Jesus Christ, were not even halfway there yet. We will not be getting new unis. With Nike taking over next year we MAY see a tweak, and that is extremely doubtful. Just stop it.

    Just as might create a thread talking bout how madden '13 ripped off the Dolphins.

    i like a lot of those. the fins one isn't awful. i would like to see the coral/orange highlighted a bit more

    i think our unis look a bit outdated. they are neither retro nor contemporary, imo. i think the first thing that needs to be changed are the away pants. at least get the shine off of them

    i wouldn't mind going to back to the retro scheme with a few modern updates. i was never crazy about the shadowing under the numbers and letters

    Those Nike ones are fugly...

    1. The logo must stay the same. It's classic. That new one is trashy looking.

    2. Orange should be our primary. Much more ascetically pleasing.

    3. I like Baltimore's. Switch the colors around and i'd like to see what they look like. Raiders are cool too.

    i just think they are interesting concepts. i didnt like the Bills one either. I actually like the Bills unis since they went to the white helmet, etc

    i agree on orange. i think we just get rid of the blue in our logos. someone a while ago suggested that we incorporate some grey into the unis since dolphins are grey lol. not a bad idea imo

    There are some that think a change of uniform can have a psychological effect on a team. I recall when Parcells took over as head coach of the Jets one of the first things he did was to go back to the throwback uniforms, as he thought that was truly representative of what the Jets are.

    I'd agree that this team could use a uniform change for similar reasons. While I certainly don't dislike the jerseys we have, they now seem representative of an era of failure. A time where we have drifted far from what made this franchise one of the keynote franchises in the NFL.

    Unless they've already put the machinations into place however, you probably won't see a uniform change until 2013. The NFL requires about a year's notice if you intend on making substantial changes to your uniform design.

    I actually really like the Raiders one in that link. And I usually detest the uni change threads that go on in here...but the original poster is on to something. If we are wiping the slate clean and starting completely over...might as well do it with the unis too. I mean, we have a fairly new owner, the stadium is going back to a football stadium only here in a short while whith the Marlins leaving, and obviously new coach/GM/players, etc.

    But I would want a MAJOR overhaul. Add new colors. Make the navy blue a part of the color scheme, or hell, experiment with black even. Maybe get away from the Dolphin logo on the helmet too. Make it the M like the dolphin wears or whatever. I really want a radical change, similar to how the Buccaneers did when they went from the gay pirate creamsicles to their current look.

    One thing I do love are grey facemasks. Colts and Giants look good with them. I liked our Grey's when we throw on the throwbacks.

    I like the Dolphins uni's in that link. It's time for a change. If not that, a monkey ****ing a football as a new logo would be fine by me as well.

    I could really careless. We could have clown outfits. If we're winning again, nothing else matters.

    i think they put the blue in to sell merchandise. that ought to tell them something about the current color scheme

    ill be honest, the only merchandise i buy now is either orange or grey with a faded or vintage look.

    the other thing too is that the aqua/marine seems like there a bunch of different shades of it

    Love 'em. Hands down the best I've seen! Very few photos of them for some reason. The new uniforms remind me of Jimmah, and we have been awful while wearing them. :pity:

    I wouldn't mind updated unis at all, and like some of the concepts thrown around. I'm fond of that grey idea too, wouldn't mind playing off the dolphins namesake a bit more. it would certainly work with the whole ushering in a new era idea

    Well im sorry but its my opinion that the idea sucks! The original poster listed his reason as to why and I think the uniform is rich in history, and I love seeing the uniform as it is/was...

    I love our unis, but I'm always open for some change if it's done right. As long as it isn't like the Maryland UnderArmour kind of change, I'd love to see what is possible!

    The only thing wrong with the throwback jerseys is the shading on the numbers on the shoulders... orange shading, hard to tell the number of the player. But those socks are bad ***...

    Hey, Maynard!

    The guy began the thread with smack to us who thing the whole idea sucks.. So why are you only supporting one side's smack???

    The proper idea for this thread is to stick it as far as I'm concerned!

    What is the fascination with the UNI's? I could care less what the team is wearing.
