FiddySicks Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The Dolphins are a unique case where their old logo was really good, and the tweak was great too (IMO), but it was more of a lateral move. They improved some things immensely, but definitely did some things wrong. Really though, if they ditch that crap navy and gave the uniforms a bit of an upgrade they'd be perfect. I would love to see them use the M logo that's on the dolphin's helmet as their new sleeve logos. It's pretty simple and may have to be tweaked slightly, but it could really give them a classic vibe. I love the primary logo, but having it on the helmets and jerseys is a bit overkill IMO. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

CubsFanBudMan Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I'd expect the logo would be a tweak, so here is what I'm thinking of something that is more acceptable:I changed one thing that I would to to add on your tweaked logo...I would get rid of navy from the unis and logo and I would also get rid of the stupid drop shadow... Bright up the jersey a tad and i think they would be perfect.I'd be in support of double teal... er, aqua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkatron101 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Part of me wishes for something more like the Dolphin stadium logo. This logo has a lot of history though, I can't imagine it would be well received if they made anything but minor tweaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gladsadmad Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 funny, I just posted this on the concepts forum yesterday..I wanted to incorporate elements of both logos, so I used the sun & body shape of the old with the detail of the new minus the navy.and some helmet renders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsephen Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Just. Remove. The. Navy.If the Dolphins removed navy from their identity, it would go to top 10 in the league. The stripes are great, but everything is so muddled by the navy. Sure, Nike can make them modern, but it would behoove them just to remove the navy from every place.yes!Why does everyone want to wear black or navy and if they can't, they add it in some form. Dolphins, Lions, Bucs, Titans, Bills kept some even after they got away from their Montreal Alouettes look.Uh... Titans kind of use navy because it's one of their primary colors. Unless you're meaning black, but they don't use black... so not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirwuf Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 A wonderful concept, the only thing I'd tweak is to put the dolphin's head inside the sun, ala our early '70 team...and my makeshift avatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29texan Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I've always thought that their logo could use the same kind of face lift that the Cardinals, Seahawks, and Panthers gave their logos. I feel the same way for the Jaguars.I think the Jags logo is perfect the way it is. But the other teams really needed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpawstu19 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 i wouldnt mind the fins replacing the navy with the greyish/gunmetal of an actual dolphin. with that i also wouldnt mind, as others have noted on this board, to change the helmet logo to either the "M" logo on the actual dolphin's helmet in the current logo, or even swap in the training camp logo the fins have used....

Replacing the current logo with either of those two options would be a downgrade. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

DeFrank Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The grey just goes against everything in their identity. Bright colors don't work well with grey imo.Not to toot my own horn, but... -No navy.-Use of a "burst M" concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light blue is their primary color for the last couple of years but still have navy in the trim and pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilray2k1 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I think they should just go completely modern/futuristic and develop something that looks similar to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jt0323 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I get that Dolphins are grey but look at the rest of the league, Ravens are not purple, Buffalos are not blue with a red stripe, Lions are not blue, Rams are not blue, ect... We don't have to have the color scheme of a dolphin. Since 1966 we have been Aqua and Orange, why change that?Also I am a huge fan of the old sun so I hope they bring that back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I always thought the older dolphin looked like a blob. The current dolphin was a huge upgrade over the old when it came out IMO. Guess I'll wait til something concrete comes up, as shrimp and bad pizza have addled my mind right now. My opinion would be substandard, and also suck.
