Yeah that probably works even better since the jersey doesn't have any silver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andi if so, which one? The throwbacks use the original 1966 version. This is my main question as well. I love the design of the throwback uniforms, and I would prefer them to be full-time uniforms over the current set, but I never really liked the older throwback logo. It always look like someone just scratched out a chunk of the dolphin to me. I'd love to see an update of the logo, something like this concept that would still retain that classic feel yet be something a bit more modern that would not only look better as a standalone logo but also fit the rest of the league better. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManillaToad Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Miami "updating" their look to make it as sleek and soulless as possible really went under the radar as one of the worst rebrands the league's ever seen. It's akin to if the Celtics decided their logo needed mOdErNiZiNg. Dunno who the owner is but he clearly has a huge ego if he thought he was fixing a well-loved look represented by the likes of Dan Marino, Don Shula, and the only perfect team in history 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever came up with their current design was doing us a favor. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I think the post-Shula/Marino uniform had merit, it's true that the 2013-2017 uniform did not replace the "classic" Dolphins design. We also forget that that design itself went through a few changes like adding the logo to the sleeves, altering he width of the helmet stripes and changing the pants stripes.

The only thing they needed to do to that uniform is take away the drop shadow and the navy accents. The logo is better than the current Sea Colony Resort logo. 12 1 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't understand how you could possibly drive brand activation and engagement with such a positioning. Seems like a big mistake to me. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 22 hours ago, nuordr said: From Paul Lukas, Yesterday, however, I was interviewing a league executive about something else and got confirmation: The Cowboys will indeed be wearing both versions of the white helmet this season — one with their throwback uni and one with their CR uni. The league hadn’t initially planned on this when it allowed teams to add a second helmet color, but the Cowboys asked if they could give the white shell two different design treatments. Since the throwback and CR unis are both alternates (which means it’s permissible under league rules for them to be paired with an alternate helmet color), the league said yes. So based on this statement about alternate uniforms, it makes me wonder if the Panthers really did designate the black jerseys the alternate to pair with a black helmet.

Wasn't it reported that the league considers any "alternate jersey" game to be one where either the alt jersey or alt helmet is being used? So the stupid all-black Color Rush will eat into the three blue jersey games and not any of the normal black jersey games. 1 the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
