Cosmic Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Since the "Oilers" name related directly to Texas, I don't think they should revert back to that name. "Titans" is fine. But their uniforms look like something designed in 1999 in an attempt to be modern and trendy, and now just look dated. The helmets, with the spikey things shooting up in the front and the asymmetrical fire ball thing on the sides, are the worst part of it.I would love to see them return to the Oilers look or a slightly modernized version of it (Bills, Vikings). They were the Tennessee Oilers for two years, after all. Replace the oil derrick with the sword/dagger "T" and they're set.Someone said this on this board a few weeks ago and I agree: We didn't appreciate the Oilers colors when they existed.Now helmet logos need to be symmetrical? How many of them are in the NFL... maybe a dozen? If you don't like the logo, that's one thing; don't go inventing new criteria for good design, though.

Not all asymmetrical logos are bad but this asymmetrical logo is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaline97 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I saw this on AJ Williams' twitter (23). He thought it was "dope" and "fresh". I'm surprised this is even allowed with all the rules by NFL these days. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chawls Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Dolphins in them aqua pants. I strongly dislike those socks. Quote If you hadn't noticed, Chawls loves his wrestling, whether it be real life or sim. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I liked the greenish aqua better. Those socks suck, as does the marginalization of orange and the corporatization of the logo.

8BW14 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 The aqua pants definitely liven those uniforms up a bit, but man, the decreased amount of orange really kills the set, and yeah those socks are atrocious.Honestly I didn't dislike the new logo at first but the more I see it, the more I wish they had just tweaked and updated the colors of the old one.

Lee Noire Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 That look would be great for the Dolphins if those socks were orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chawls Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 It'd be even better if those socks were white with stripes. Quote If you hadn't noticed, Chawls loves his wrestling, whether it be real life or sim. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveindc Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Love that aqua! It has the perfect amount of orange trim too. Any more of it would look stupid on this improved design. This uniform is the true definition of Miami Dolphins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhlyBoy Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I say it almost every week, but the new aqua for the Dolphins is just incredible. Them switching to that shade is best upgrade of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqua and blue represents the water, and orange the sun. Any more orange would ruin this look. There is also plenty of orange coming from the gloves and cleats.
