They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

hawk36 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Fixing the Dolphins logo... Here are my versions:Like the one on the right. What about doing this style but making the Dolphin arc like the existing one? Maybe it would be a nicer tie in to the original? Just a thought.

pcgd Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I've seen it mentioned a couple times that a dolphin can't be swimming underwater and be in front of the sun but:http://www.emerald-vision.com/wp-content/uploads/dolphin_silhuette.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Face it: there's just no way to make a dolphin look tough.Why does it have to be tough? The best part about the past Dolphins logos were that they didn't take themselves too seriously. Putting a helmet on the dolphin was a perfect way to do this. I think this would be a fine update if it just had the helmet and a face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Maybe I'll warm up to it, but man this new logo sucks (If that's it). I could be turned around, but I can't picture a scenario where it'll look significantly better than the old logo. I'm gonna miss that old logo.

Skape7 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Here is a very rough mockup I put together which is kind of like a merge between the old logo and leaked logo. The lines still need to be cleaned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 A sans-serif "G" in an oval isn't "tough", but it hasn't stopped them from winning four Super Bowls. Maybe if they ringed it in barbed wire or something, they'd have fifteen Lombardi Trophies by now.

Just because these are sports teams doesn't mean they always have to be tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigokusabre Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 My fervent hope is to see a red alternate for the Patriots. Not a throwback (from the era of futility), the modern jersey in red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
