connriv Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I thought this deserved its own thread, since we're seeing the Fins uniforms on the field for the first time.I think they look great, but it's a little disorienting to see that the orange has been downgraded to a highlight color equal to the navy.Also disorienting is the huge "MIAMI" printed on the players' butts. I hope that's not something any other team emulates.One more thing - I'm watching football in HD for the first time and the Cowboys' pants no longer look green. Is it my TV? Or did they finally, FINALLY chuck the green pants? (Someone please tell me they chucked the green.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowbell204 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The lack of contrast between Miami's color vs. white on TV, especially when panned out, makes my eyes hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beruud Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Absolutely hideous. Color... Logo... Uniforms in general. Horrible. Please do not fool yourself, the Buccaneers jersey is conceptually and creatively an abomination. Read the "FANFARE" Here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connriv Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'm sorry to have to report that I adjusted my TV and discovered that the Cowboys pants are still green. What a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the green/silver pants are more pronounced against the aqua of the Dolphins jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I actually really like these dolphins uniforms. They should've made the sleeve logo way bigger however. And it looks like they're all wearing stock gear because their cleats and gloves look almost red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Cowboys blue looks darker....might be just the lighting. And is it me or do the shoulder stripes look better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Keep in mind Fawcett Stadium doesn't use the same quality of lighting NFL stadiums do. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmd9 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Dolphins look a bit plain/generic but overall it's not bad. It's at least an upgrade from their awful previous uniforms. Cowboys uniforms will never be fixed. Green tinted silver pants and cheap looking sleeve stripes need to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The Dolphins need more orange. What is it with the Florida teams and going with generic uniform less than impressive designs. I get the idea of not going Seattle Seahawk route of going over-board and stupid, but holy cow, it's like they didn't even try to look good.

Lee Noire Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I dig the new look on field. The aqua does look lighter than I originally thought it was but maybe it's the lighting. I do wish the orange outlines were thicker but I can still make them out ok. My Cowboys on the other hand...I can't wait for thanksgiving to see the unis they should be wearing full time.

TruColor Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Nothing has changed for the Cowboys for 2013. I agree re: the Dolphins...The lighter Orange gets lost on those unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrypep Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The Dolphins really need to put a little more orange in that uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy MidGrady Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The cowboys pants have the worst color ever, just change them to the helmet color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I agree that the aqua or teal or whatever we're calling it now isn't "contrasted" enough against their white. It's not pronounced enough so there's a weird effect to it. I don't really have an adjective for it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajeet Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 They'll be back to their old uniforms in a few years. I don't see these sticking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Here are the new Dolphins' colors in Pantone Textile terms: As always, these are the color descriptions that Pantone assigns to their colors; the Dolphins did not have anything to do with them (I highly doubt that they even know what they are).

WSU151 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I like the helmets, but I think an aqua (^^ "tile blue") facemask would be a huge upgrade. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 This is the first time and 17 years I didn't attend the HOF weekend. Too bad, I was looking forward to seeing these in person and reporting in, but this is usually an annual road trip / getaway for myself and a buddy, and he couldn't make it.On TV the orange was pretty much invisible. Whatever other changes anyone thinks they might need, I think its obvious they need to alter the ratio of thickness of dark blue and orange. Thin the blue slightly, thicken the orange slightly, and these improve noticeably. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
