Blue Falcon Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowBoutThemFins Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 When do you mean when did they start using aqua pants? I believe they've always had aqua pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 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 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 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. Smart is believing half of what you hear.

TruColor Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 They NEVER wore anything other than White prior to 1991. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 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. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 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.

WSU151 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 OK...then Craig's site is wrong... 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.

TruColor Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I think the aqua pants came out when the Dolphins moved into Joe Robbe Stadium 1987. Possibly, but they're not in the 1987 NFL Style Guide (I've got one)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh1068 Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Here is the definitive answer. The Dolphins introduced aqua pants for the first game of the 1989 season, at home versus the Buffalo Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh1068 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 I'm a Dolphins fan, and I remember exactly where I was watching that game and thinking, "wow...aqua pants for the first time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
