That logo is just not designed to be on the front of a jersey. There's a reason the only time it ever was put on a jersey it led to the most hated design in franchise history.

Every single thing about this is wrong. The jersey color. The stripeless pants. The helmet color. The helmet logo. The combination of all of the above. And the opponent that also wears silver.

Nah. Tired of seeing the NFC East on primetime.

They're the same uniform except for the number font.

Yeah, I'd say it bothers me more with the Dolphins and Habs jerseys I previously mentioned because they're lighter colored numbers against a white background (aqua and royal blue, respectively). With white against black and navy against white there's enough contrast where it somewhat works.

As simple a disagreement you'll ever see. I respect your opinion, but you'll never convince me of that. I feel like the white gap in the numbers makes them (marginally) more difficult to read and overall weaker. For the same reason, I've always thought the Montreal Canadiens' white jerseys were downgraded massively in 1998 when they added a double outline to the numbers. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (The change in the shade of red doesn't bother me that much)

Double outlines with a meaningless white gap = I don't know how you can argue that this is better than this

You can have a classic visual identity and still have a modern brand. Look at teams like the 49ers and the Chiefs that have not drastically changed their modern uniforms in decades but still let the personality of their players shine through. That needle can be threaded. Look at the Steelers (yes, they changed their number font but they're still one of the most stagnant visual brands out there). A mashup of classic and modern can be amazing (Vikings, Browns, Lions, Bengals, Chargers) but it can also lead to massive flops or boring looks (Rams, Jaguars, Jets, Falcons). I think if the Dolphins want to go mashup, the early 90s uniforms are a good compromise (aqua facemask, sleeve logo, aqua pants). I'd still prefer the 70s, but this is a perfectly good look.

No Fun League indeed. The NFL and the Titans continue to feed my agenda that they only brought back the Oilers uniforms out of greed and spite.

A jersey that beautiful doesn't have an expiration date to me. And this isn't the first time a flashy, historic offense has worn these jerseys (1984). Modernization wouldn't be a bad thing, I'm not suggesting that everything should stay the same as it was for decades, but I don't think I would keep any aspect of the modern uniforms over the throwbacks.

The one time the Rams made it to the Super Bowl in the helmet endzone era, the horn didn't make it onto the NFC helmet. Strange that it did for the Bengals but not for the Rams. (Also I understand that there needed to be contrast for the helmets, but not really a fan of when both endzones are the same color)

If we're talking about fields... (If you can't tell, I really liked the classic helmet endzones.) Best recent field. Could have been even better if both teams did helmet logos.

Those stripes are beautiful and look better than the sleeve logos imo. Aqua pants would be great (without aqua socks).

Toothpaste dolphin doesn't come close to helmet dolphin. Not sure what you're talking about. Also, I will only support aqua pants with the throwback if they create some white striped socks to go with it (also don't wear the aqua pants with the aqua jersey, please). I agree that the current set doesn't suck, but I think it's worn out its welcome. Dolphins fans (as well as most NFL fans) have been begging the team for years to make the throwbacks permanent again. The "make throwbacks full-time" conversation is repetitive and frustrating, but it's the only sensible move for the Dolphins in my opinion.

I do think that the punishment should happen anyway, because one of the consequences of acquiring a faulty organization is dealing with the fallout of the previous regime. The fact that a new owner took over in Ottawa since this happened does not change the fact that they (allegedly) screwed Vegas over in the trade. I won't speak on whether the punishment they decide on is valid (it sounds like they will be getting more punishment than the Blackhawks did for Kyle Beach), but there should still be some consequences.

I mean, fair. Agree to disagree on this one as well. I've just always considered the classic Dolphins look to be one of my favorites of all time.

How'd the HC uniforms look in person?

The '72 throwbacks are absolutely worth tossing the current look. Superior logo, superior colors, superior number font (besides whatever happened to Tyreek Hill's TV number yesterday), superior shoulder striping, superior pants, superior socks, superior helmet. In my opinion, it blows the modern Dolphins look out of the water in every single aspect of the uniform.

Quick look at the Seahawks logo without the grey: Original logo for comparison:

Respectfully, I completely disagree. The neon green works as a highlight color, but a full jersey in that color just isn't it.

Out of the late games, Niners/Bengals was likely protected by CBS. Browns/Seahawks could have been interesting. Don't see the argument for Chiefs/Broncos or Ravens/Cardinals though. Rams/Cowboys from the early window might have been decent (on paper, the Rams got demolished on the field). But I agree that the 2023 Chicago Bears should not have been given a Sunday Night game.

That all sounds great, you just forgot one detail. There's a reason no one else wears action green. And that reason is that it looks horrible.

This is my vote for prettiest. The colors outside at Stanford absolutely POPPED.

This made me physically ill.

The other thing Brock Purdy's struggles have done is make the Trey Lance saga look way worse. The initial trade where we gave up all those futures for the third overall pick was horrible, but it was justified since we found our franchise quarterback from basically nothing -- the last pick of the draft. But if we don't have our franchise quarterback, then this trade in hindsight becomes one of the worst in NFL history.
