Dolphins aqua pants


Blue Falcon

Recommended Posts

I know they used them in 1990 and I always thought that was the first time ever. However, I have a Prolog magazine from 1990 which has pics from the 1989 season in it...and it appears the Fish wore aqua pants against the Oilers and some other team!!

Or could these pics been taken from the 1990 preseason?? Any Fish fans there know anything on this?

No. I'm pretty sure the Dolphins didn't have aqua pants until the Marino era. I wanna say late-80s is when they added them, probably the same time they added logos to their sleves.

They had them in 1990 at least...I remember 1991 Upper Deck cards (the Dan McGwire set) showing some Phins playing Buffalo in the snow with aqua pants. And yes I'm a nerd for remembering it that way :)

When do you mean when did they start using aqua pants? I believe they've always had aqua pants

I don't think Larry Csonka or Bob Griese ever wore aqua pants. I might be way off, but I doubt it.

They NEVER wore anything other than White prior to 1991.

PANTONE - I'm going to have to disagree with you, only because you're wrong.

Above is the 1991 Dan Marino card (Upper Deck) and the pic had to be taken in 1990.

The far left card in the pic above is 1991 Action Packed Marino. Notice the teal pants, with the pic taken in 1990 to be in the 1991 set.

I got a little evidence that the Fins wore aqua pants since at least 89...right next to me is a Pete Stoyanovich rookie card, Topps 1989 #84T.

OK...then Craig's site is wrong...

:P

When did the Dolphins drop the aqua pants at home and go back to the tradition of white jerseys/white pants?

Here's a pic from the Marino Timeline site:

Picture from 1990 - notice the patch on the front.
