kewp80 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 My only problems are that the sun in the logo seems too round in shape, and the wordmark is not working for me at all. The uniforms and the dolphin look great though. Nice job on this!The sun is too round?Would you prefer it to be an oblong sun?I meant all the little lines coming off of it gives it a round shape. I would prefer the little lines off. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicfurth Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I really like this a lot. I'd like it a lot better if the helmet was not disproportionately large on the dolphin's head.B+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkansasdolfan Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Absolutely beautiful man! I have seen a lot of "modern" Phins concept, but this is what most fans want. Excellent concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Very, very nice.Seems so simple in retrospect - why can't the team do something like this?I love the wordmark, though I'm sure the team would say it's too plain and boring. But to my eye it's clean and clear, readable at any size yet just distinctive enough to belong to the team. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

mohelmets Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I think this package looks awesome....I never have liked the use of navy in their uniforms...I used to like watching the Dolphins back in the day when they wore the aqua jerseys...I loved those shirts...In my opinion, I wouldn't change a thing here...Looks great to me...Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 These look stellar. Excellent work. I love how you executed the main logo, keeping the old complicated sunburst pattern while still modernizing the dolphin enough. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirwuf Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 The only thing I would change is to move the Dolphin head inside the sun (like the one shown below), to match what they wore during their glory days of the early '70s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought the old one with the dolphin half through the jump looked funny, but the more symmetrical version was perfect. I might work up an orange alternate since this post was brought back for some reason, stay tuned. Flight 19 ::: Fort Lauderdale Soccer Supporters ::: DEFEND THE FORT!

fishheatcats Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 I've added an orange alternate for the concept plus a quick version of what I think the team's current alternate should be, the discontinued navy jersey they used to sell.

I might work up an orange alternate since this post was brought back for some reason, stay tuned.The "in the sun" logo was used in 1966, and again from 1969 thru 1973 (when they won their second Super Bowl)...near the end of the '73 season, some players started wearing the "across the sun" version, and continued to thru the playoffs and Super Bowl 8. This was the ONLY period in which both logos were worn at the same time. In 1974 they switched permanently to the "across the sun" version...The one with the Dolphin "in the sun" has always been the right one to me, and represents their perfect season and glory years...

BrianVlietDesign Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have never been a fan of the Dolphins orange uniform. But, with the updated logo you made and the modifications to the uniforms, this looks incredible. You've got my vote.

I knew I wasn't right on some of the details but I remember hearing that story. I can't tell who the #58 is in that picture, and if it's '73 I know it's not him, but an interesting personal story: my family bought our house from Kim Bokamper, who was at that point retired in '88. Csonka used to own the house across the street from us in the '70s. There's two big royal palms in my front yard with KB and LC and a bunch of other initials carved into them, apparently a bunch of the gang used to hang out here. I always catch myself seeing Bo on the local sports coverage and having to remind myself "that guy used to live here" it's funny. FYI, no, they didn't have houses as nice as pro athletes today do lol. Flight 19 ::: Fort Lauderdale Soccer Supporters ::: DEFEND THE FORT!

neworder Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I like all of these designs, but I would like to see the orange jersey with the aqua pants together. I think that would look great. I like how the striping gives the uniform a 'old-school' design and the logo is a work of art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
