DeFrank Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 That Dolphin stripe (if it exists) is probably a navy blue that appears black to someone who doesn't think about color and/or design as much as we do. I can't tell how many times I've had the conversation where somebody mentions, say, the Bears' "black" helmet (or the Yankees' "black" hat, etc...) and I'll correct them, just to get that "whatever" look from them.honestly, i dont get why people care so much if its black or navy. like in the carolina uni thread, some people were saying how great it was, and then as soon as they found out it was black, they were like this looks like .They have precedent for navy as a Carolina blue accent, but replacing that with black is as unnecessary as you think the difference between the colors are. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shumway Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Cowboys have black on their sleeves on their white uniforms.I thought that was navy as well?Looks black to me because if it's navy, it doesn't match any other navy on the uniformIt was black. I owned a Deion Sanders jersey back in the day (my mom thought it was Barry), and it was definitely blue stripes with black outlines. I think I wore that jersey only when Dallas beat the Eagles.

awuestenfeld Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I don't think its black or navy on the stripe, I think its the same color as the underbelly of the dolphin logo (darker aqua). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its aqua and orange, but if its anything its the dark aqua/aqua blue thats in the logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only thing that makes sense based on everything else we've seen; there has been no black, and with two blues in the logo already, I can't imagine them adding a third (navy) just for the helmet/uniforms. I'd put money that it looks just like the stripe pointed out on the website earlier in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 The more I look at that leaked image it looks pretty clear to me that the helmet stripe is teal (or aqua or whatever) with black stripes on either side and a thin orange stripe on the outside of the black stripes. Can't say that I love the idea, but the orange would make sense to me and help unify the look a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will likely be the same color as the belly of the dolphin, which, coincidentally, also looks black in that photo.

Fifty8_Black O Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Wow, the line weights in the different parts of the number look really strange. I'm guessing its the back of a 55 jersey. If so the 5's look really top heavy and long. Not to mention that it looks like there's some black in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Just a few months ago I was thinking about how much I really do like white facemasks. I thought it was great for the Giants and Browns. Happy to see the Dolphins resurrect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debo0775 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 That (IMO) looks pretty nice. If that orange-d. blue-aqua-d. blue-orange is transferred to a helmet stripe and a pant stripe, Miami might have a pretty nice, cohesive look that's modern and harkens back to tradition.

Jt0323 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 yeah its 55. its the same pic of the helmet posted above. Again, I was told this was an early version of the uniform. The updated version I got didn't even have orange in it, so it could be Dolphins are going back to this early design. Ben Volin says Helmet: All white, white facemask, new logo, thick aqua stripe from front to back with orange trim on both sidesDoes not mention blackalso in the pic. the pic, the name plate is Aqua lettering with black/blue outline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still inclined to think that's the darker blue from the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
