yes it is, I like it but the outer ring words should be better placed or better worded. i.e. THE SOUND BE SMART WE ARE TOUGH or different set of words but I love everything else

sorry to be a critic also how about tridents instead of spears or harpoons a more sea theme
 
More Rah Rah stuff from Philbin...

Hopefully he has spent time on becoming a better coach.
 
See, I told you the shape of the logo reminded me of a spear. I've posted that a few times. Others have used spit of toothpaste, which is certainly valid, but I see more of a warped spear.

The franchise obviously detects the same value because the logo is positioned perfectly on the T shirt to align with the spear.

This wouldn't have been possible with the old logo. We were more of a cartoon, like Captain America.
 
This is SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There’s something new in the Dolphins locker room this week, and it’s really hard to miss. It’s a large shield, the kind someone would have seen in movies like “300” or “Gladiator.”

It’s also got a lot of meaning for Dolphins players and coaches.

“To me it’s like pretty much the whole team playing as one, just being smart and tough at the same time,” defensive end Olivier Vernon said. “It kind of reminds me of the Spartans in the ‘300’ movie, how all those guys were together facing off against the Persians. It signifies pretty much that: one as a unit.”

To go along with the shield, the players also now have T-shirts that read, “ONE TEAM, ONE FIGHT, WIN THE DAY,” at the top and bottom along with the words “smart,” “sound” and “tough” inscribed in a circle in between.

Head Coach Joe Philbin explained after practice Thursday how the shield and T-shirts came to be.

“The players took time on Sunday as a football team to kind of celebrate the 53 guys that made the roster and their position coaches gave them their T-shirts,” Philbin said. “The players kind of came up with that. As in a lot of things in life, there’s certain rituals and symbols. We wanted to kind of make it a special occasion for them, and the shield is kind of the symbol of everybody together, one team.”

Philbin pointed out that the coaching staff came up with the idea of the shield.

“It’s just a Spartan,” cornerback Brent Grimes said. “It’s something they have that protects the person next to them, not only themselves but the person next to them. It symbolizes how we are as a team. You see a lot of things that we talk about around here with hashtags and Twitter and all that, it’s us being together as one. That shield symbolizes that in a way.”

Grimes, incidentally, had an interesting reaction when he first saw the shield in the locker room.

“I want one,” he said laughing. “That was my first reaction. Where did you get it? I want one. I’m probably going to get one. It’s going to be in my house.”

While his teammates might not go as far as Grimes, they all appreciate what the shield symbolizes.

Lets hope this team doesnt decide to completely emmulate Sparta, you know, with the pederasty.
 
This "win the day" sounds stupid. If you have to go with phrases go with
"One Team. One Fight. One Goal."
or
"One Team. One Fight. One Destiny."

But forget phrases. Win the games and not the days.
