Apparently no logo change for us

Do you like, or don't like?

I'd like us to go back to the 80's versions.

Don't mess with anything. Don't try and merge old and new. Just go back to the uniforms of the 1984 season. The end.
 
The throwback Logo is awful, really bad. It looks like a 9-year old designed it.

I'm all for changing the current logo, but keeping the basic look.
 
Here is a merge of the current logo in the Dolphin stadium logo

I love the orange jerseys, granted, I also like the fact that they're worn rarely. Makes it extra special to see.

I dont see what the hoopla is with changing the dolphin or the logo, etc. I like the helmet on him, I like that hes pissed. I'm pissed. Good match.
I guess I don't mind the realistic looking one from the 70's, reminds me of logos of hotels and seafood restaurants you see at the beaches.

I know you like this logo Skape but that thing looks like something you'd find hung up behind the desk at a Disney theme resort.

i would use this logo with the 80s style uniforms, you would get the best of both worlds new logo and sick throwbacks

Nice try but now the Dolphin looks like he was run over by speedboat.

At least you would find it in a Disney resort and not a Disney MOVIE like the current one! :p

True enough. I'm no fan of the current logo. As you can see by the sig, I prefer a return to the classic logo (and more important, the classic more blueish shade of aqua or teal or whatever people want to call it).

There's nothing we can do about having our mascot be the Dolphins. I mean, Dolphins are cool and everything, if you read about them, but awesome football mascot they are not. And colors like teal or aqua and coral are nice colors -- even pretty colors -- but also somewhat south of intimidating.

You can't make it cool, so you might as well make it classic, is how I think about it. To "fix" the situation would require a rebranding of the like none of us are likely to live long enough to see. Brand new colors, and a helmet design closer to that of San Francisco, whose logo used to be a cartoon of a drunken prospector.

Looks cool but you forgot the helmet. Needs a helmet.

Would you send your son out there on the field without a helmet?

I like these suggestions:

#1. Get rid of the helmet on the Dolphin. This is a sports design trend that should have stayed in the 60s. Modern sports teams have largely abandoned the tradition of incorporating sports equipment in their logos, for good reason. The Dolphin wearing a helmet with its stupid grin makes it look like it belongs in a 3rd rate Disney movie, not a football field.

#2. Get rid of the anthropomorphic cartoon Dolphin. The classic logo didn't look like a cartoon. We need a Dolphin that doesn't look like its ready to debut on Saturday Morning Cartoons. I personally like the dolphin in the old Dolphins Stadium logo (http://nysportsjournalism.squarespace.com/storage/DolphinStadLogo.gif) but I realize that may be a drastic change for many to accept.

#3. Go back to AQUA! The Dolphins in their heyday wore Aqua and Coral, not Teal and Orange. The teal is ugly. Go look back at classic photos of Marino in the 80s. That aqua jersey was sharp!

#4. Get rid of the drop shadow on the numbers. Its distracting and ugly. The numbers on the classic jerseys look clean and fresh.

The underlined and bold text is a ridiculous statement. Here are a list of teams that still have equipment in their logo (it's a pretty big list, so click on the spoiler button to see the list):


NFL
Miami Dolphins
Oakland Raiders
New York Jets
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Cleveland Browns (it's a damned helmet!)

NBA
Atlanta Hawks
Boston Celtics
Cleveland Cavilers
Dallas Maverick
Detroit Pistons
Indiana Pacers
LA Clippers
LA Lakers
Miami Heat
New Jersey Nets
New Orleans Hornets
New York Knicks
Oklahoma City Thunder
Orlando Magic
Philadelphia 76ers
Phoenix Suns
Sacramento Kings
Toronto Raptors
Utah Jazz
Washington Wizards

MLB
Minnesota Twins
New York Yankees
Tampa Bay Rays
Texas Rangers
Toronto Blue Jays
Colorado Rockies
LA Dodgers
Milwaukee Brewers
New York Mets
Philadelphia Phillies
Pittsburgh Pirates
San Francisco Giants
St. Louis Cardinals

NHL
Colorado Avalanche
New York Islanders
Pittsburgh Penguins
San Jose Sharks
Washington Capitals

And that is a list of their main logos. That is not including any type of alternate logo for each team, or unlisted teams alternate logos. So having the helmet on the Dolphins is not that out dated.

The glitter was nauseating and the blue collar was ugly. I think Nike is going in the right direction.

The matte finish on our jerseys will look so much nicer on television and photos.

I agree.

Of that list, only 5 feature anthropormorphic animals USING the sporting equipment... That is my main gripe, not that there is a sports symbol in the logo itself, but that the animal is USING the equipment like a cartoon character.
