oldschoolvikings Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Have we seen the Dolphins new alts yet? I was at Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise tonight and an employee at Sportville put up a single aqua Tannehill youth jersey with the new nike template but old school Dolphins striping and numbers in the same rack as the regular ones. I knew she must had made a mistake so I asked her if it was the new alt but she seemed unaware and told me it was a vintage jersey and she put it back up after I showed her. I must say it looked pretty awesome.As far as I know they haven't been unveiled yet. That's really interesting that some stores have them already. You should try to get a picture if you can.Oh man.I've always been very happy with the Dolphins current unis and I still am, but that is so beautiful.I can't wait to see what they look like in game with the NFL style sleeves.I'm probably going to have to fork out for one of thoseRight, these "throwbacks" may look nice, but when players actually wear them, you might get 3 full stripes. . . maybe. I disagree...These are obviously more crowded than they used to be back in the 80's and before, but they are still all undeniably recognizable as stripe patterns on football jerseys. For any team interested in holding on to their traditional look, it's still preferable to dumping the idea completely.Of all the teams still wearing semi-traditional sleeve stripes, the only two teams that do a poor job IMO are the Steelers (who refuse to shrink theirs at all, and end up cutting off the bottoms on some jerseys) and the 49ers (with that silly slant). http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 But see how on the Steelers jersey, some players don't have the full set of stripes? That's how it could look on the Dolphins, especially since they are similar striping patterns. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

As someone mentioned above, the Steelers have refused to shrink their stripes to fit on the Nike sleeve caps for some reason.

Dynasty Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Sigh. This is exactly why the Dolphins should've just went the throwback route to begin with. Their current look is so good incredibly lifeless compared to anything they had before that they're ALREADY busting out a throwback.Just fix the mistake already, Dolphins. Go back to the classic look......Lifeless? I like these throwbacks, but if anything, the throwbacks are more "lifeless" than their current identity.Lifeless is a pretty good description of the current Dolphins uniform. From the lack of orange, to the bland corporate-style logo, to the brighter aqua (which in theory should have been nice, but in practice just looks faded and washed out) it does look like someone systematically took the old uniform and drained the life out of them.Funny, that's actually what I like about them (except for the lack of orange). The aqua actually looks aqua now instead of teal and the blandness of the logo has never bothered me to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Wine Pirate Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 .For the most part all of those look horrible with today's jersey style (except for the QB cut with the longer sleeves). Sadly, this is how the Dolphins alternate will look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These all look fine, and I can't wait to see the Dolphins looking like the Dolphins again.

To me, they all look like football jerseys... a little more crowded than ideal, maybe, but it's a look that some teams will never abandon and others will keep returning to. Certainly better than this...Which look like teams trying way too hard to reinvent something that wasn't broken. And, unlike sleeve stripes, these are looks that will most likely seem as dated as parachute pants and a few years. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing being criticized is that the pro-cut version that will be on the field will look crowded like every other striped team in today's jersey styles. Some like this look while others don't.

Their inability to recognize that fact doesn't change it.

leopard88 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The Ravens could take the tapered stripes/spikes off of their helmets tomorrow and it would be almost impossible to notice. The purple is so close to black that they're practically invisible most of the time.
