Maybe not for the shell, but the padding on the inside often needs a lot of breaking in. Ever played in a new helmet? Some of those pads can feel like rocks pressing against your head until they get worked a bit, even with air in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see the old Dolphin logo fit really well on the helmets of its era and more smooth sided helmets today. However, I think the new logo fits a little better on the more modern helmet with its angled shape and odd vent placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing beautiful about a world in which NFL teams look as disjointed and ridiculous as some second tier college program so desperate for attention you never know what they'll be wearing from one week to the next.

daniel75 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 The more i’m seeing the new Dolphins logo (especially beside the old one) the more I hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeypower Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I think the old Dolphins logo should have had the logo on the helmet so it’s like one of those never ending pictures. Or the players should have worn the “M” helmet the dolphin was wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sykotyk Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The face mask is definitely the most glaring issue with the helmet. Way too much white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Here's a thought I had that could make the Dolphins logo a bit more palatable. Since the positioning of the leaping dolphin shape was consisten until the most recent change, would a dolphin in the same design style but leaping like the historical logos make it better?

FALCON6 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I never understood why the new logo is hated so much. It's far more streamlined and less cartoon-ish than the old one. Overall, a more dignified brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinsUp1214 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Different opinions and different strokes, but I never saw a problem with the Dolphin wearing a helmet. Given that Orioles generally don’t wear caps, Penguins generally don’t wear skates, and Hornets generally don’t wear sneakers and dribble a basketball (among MANY other examples), a helmet-wearing Dolphin doesn’t bother me a bit. Hell, it’s not even the first NFL logo to feature something wearing a helmet that shouldn’t be; the Colts beat them to it more than a decade before, and that logo is still used on some merchandise today after a hiatus, so it’s not something they shun by any means. Point is, it’s not too far fetched for or beneath a professional team to be a little whimsical and it’s really not as big a problem in my eyes as some make it out to be. Besides, it’s hard for me to see the current Dolphin as “dignified” anyways when I can’t unsee it doing a belly flop. It probably would’ve sold me had it been in something closer to the original leaping position, but not that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good take. I won’t even ding you about your team having the official Easter colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
