That factoid is why it pisses me off that the Pittsburgh Steelers are considered the team of the 1970s...F that - our Dolphins are the team of the 1970s!
 
  • Jim "Crash" Jensen was known for his exceptional versatility, playing multiple positions including wide receiver, running back, tight end, and even quarterback. Jensen wore jersey number 11, unusual for a wide receiver at the time, because he entered the NFL as a quarterback. He earned the nickname "the Thousand Uses" ("el Mil Usos") for his ability to contribute in many roles, including special teams, offense, and even as a backup quarterback.

Post a trivia gem about our Miami Dolphins!

The Name: Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins got their name through a public naming contest held in 1965, which received nearly 20,000 entries. The name "Dolphins" was chosen because it was the most popular among the submissions, with 622 people selecting it. Team owner Joe Robbie liked the name because dolphins are among the fastest and smartest creatures in the sea, symbolizing speed, intelligence, and agility. Additionally, dolphins are seen as protective animals by sailors, believed to bring good luck and able to fend off predators like sharks. The name also resonates with Miami's coastal and marine heritage, making it a fitting identity for the team.

The Miami Dolphins' colors—specifically aqua and orange—were chosen to represent the vibrant natural environment of South Florida. Aqua symbolizes the shoreline and ocean waters, while orange reflects the bright Florida sun and sunsets. This color scheme was intended to connect the team visually to its coastal location and the energy of the Miami area. The white represents crashing waves, and gray is inspired by the dolphin's skin tone. The colors were carefully selected to embody the team's identity and the lively atmosphere of Miami.
