DeFrank Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 No because this is Internet discontent. Look at the comments of ANYTHING on the Internet, this site included, people who comment on articles, videos, and so on are overwhelmingly discontent. This will become well received as soon as mike Wallace's jersey goes on sale. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Unfortunately, I have to agree. Unless the 'fins bring home a Super Bowl within the five years that they have to stick with this, there's a pretty good chance we'll see some form of the original logo come back.

This will become well received as soon as mike Wallace's jersey goes on sale.Interesting point. The Niners proposed helmet change was in the early 1990s, so the uproar in San Francisco must have been huge.The other thing about the Niners helmet change is, how on earth could anyone think that was an upgrade? This may be more of a buffaslug situation; I don't think the Slug was such a bad logo, but it totally missed the mark of what fans wanted with the return to traditional colors. It may be that this misses the mark of what their fans want and if they never warm up to it, they'll bring the old one back. Or maybe they will warm up to it... Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Mile High Magic Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Don't quote me on this, because I haven't seen the full dolphins uniform, but does anyone else think that maybe the helmet won't have the new logo? Ex. the eagles have the logo on its sleeves, and then the wing decals on the helmet. R.I.P. Darrent Williams #27 (1982-2007) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sisdog Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 After reviewing the new Dolphins logo all day I now have to admit that this is the worst logo in the NFL. Jacksonville has now moved out of the cellar. I was looking forward to seeing the uniform unveiling, but now that we know the white mask is official I am extremely disappointed in the direction of the Dolphins and I should have expected it from Nike.+1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 This logo is actually very nice. The colors are better and represent Miami well, the shape of the dolphin is good too.Far from worst in the NFL. I'd say it's one of the better logos in the AFC now.

29texan Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Who cares if Miami's Facebook fans are slamming it? Last I checked, most fans wouldn't know a competent design if it bit 'em in the @$$.As far as the new Dolphin goes; I dig it. I just wish the shadow was on the rear of the dorsal fin. The sunburst; not so much a fan. Oh well. I'm sure they had their reasons for rendering it the way they did.In the end it is the fans that buy the merchandise, so it DOES matter what the fans say. Why else would the 49ers and the Bills revert back to their old school looks? MONEY talks and B.S. walks.Any fan who stops supporting their team because they don't like a logo isn't a real fan... Besides, the 49ers and Bills didn't truly revert back to their old school look. San Fran still has their late 90's logo, and Buffalo (before introducing the toilet seat collars last season) still had some changes to their "old school" look. Even the Giants and Jets LOOK like they went back to their older identities in the 90's, but still made some changes. That's how I'll view the Dolphins change... depending on the uniforms, anyway. No the new logo doesn't keep the helmet or the same arched pose, but that's probably for the best. Just as much as new doesn't always equal better, old doesn't always mean better, either.

debo0775 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Maybe I'm in the minority, but I really like the direction this logo takes not because I think it's superior but because I think its applications (if mock ups are close to accurate) are better than previous iterations.Stand-alone, I like the old logo more. Seeing it on a helmet (if mockups are close) and on the uniform (if the leak is correct) makes me like it much, much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jt0323 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 According to a very good source of someone whos seen the helmet, there is the Dolphins logo on it.Here is a pretty decent representation on how the helmet will look, yeah I know the outline is blacktake it for what its worth.also according to thephins.com poll, out of 172 votes, 61 Love it 35%57 says its Good 33%24 thinks it sucks 14%13 dont care 8%17 are glad its not wearing a helmet 10% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't the whole thing match the inside of the sunburst?2) I'm guessing the logo will be somewhat larger than what is pictured here.3) The source who first revealed the navy stripes keeps telling people that they are thicker than what is being portrayed...each navy stripe should be half the width of the center aqua one.

You are right, the white would be the same.Yeah I think the logo would be bigger too. Thats the biggest logo i can find of the leaked one.3. From what I understand they could be thicker, but they may be a decent depiction of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Island_Style Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Sorry if this has been posted. The leader himself just tweeted that the Vikes will show off the new uni's on April 25th. Same day as the Dolphins. Still no word on the Jags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinberwolvikings Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 FWIW - I have a well-placed source working in promotions at a local sports radio stations who can confirm that the Vikings are gettting new jerseys for 2013.
