Miami Dolphins Credo Shirt, where to buy?

For those of us that have said those words many times, they are more than just words on paper or a t-shirt. They are a way of life that is to be taken seriously. I don't necessarily mind if they use it, but they better be damn serious about living it.

I can respect that but its a different situation as this is a football team I dont think it is a matter of life or death as maybe your case. It is something to bring them together its hard to really be mad at that at least for me.
 
Pretty Sick! I'd buy one and hats off to the players for stepping up and embracing the task.

That shirt promotes snitching.

I think it promotes not doing things that could result in snitching. You know, being an adult and a professional rather than a thug and an idiot.

Did Pouncey get one of these for his birthday party?

It would explain why he was shirtless.

According to Abramson, who just interviewed Philbin, the t-shirt will not be sold.

Thats too bad because I think that would be a huge seller. Could probably get some company in China to copy it and make a mint.

Dunno what to think about this shirt. Its an obvious rip off of the Soldier's Creed. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but the blatant rip of a creed that stands for so much more than anything anyone on that team could possibly understand is rubbing me the wrong way.

Edit: to clarify, this not just the Soldier's creed - its my creed. One ive said thousands of times, one I lived for years before adopting the Creed of the Non Commisioned Officer, and one I hold near and dear to my heart. I don't expect anyone else to think its anything but an improvement, but to me it is personal.

Why? You think you're the only one that could understand it's meaning? Nobody else has ever lived that credo as much/if not greater than you?

I do understand where you are coming from and why it means so much to you. It shows respect and that's something I can appreciate. However, lets not take this as some negative connotation towards the men and women of the armed forces. It isn't. To me it shows complete resolve towards a common goal and it's something these guys pulled together and committed to do as a team. They have my respect for doing this. It's just a game.

this is correct. I just stopped by training camp and they said the shirt is only for players and will not be available to fans.
 
More credo articles:

I think the best way to do things is to give them some ownership and not let them feel like I’m coming down from the mountain top and saying ‘This is a must and this is a mandate,” Philbin explained. “I thought they did a good job. I thought they gave some consideration and some thought to it. I think it’s good.”

The Dolphins appear to be a more together team this summer. The team is moving on from last season’s harassment scandal involving former Dolphin Jonathan Martin. Even things like rookie hazing such as funny haircuts the Dolphins did nearly every year is a thing of the past.

The Miami Dolphins, rocked by a bullying scandal last season, are now wearing T-shirts bearing a credo of togetherness that was coined by the players.

One by one some of the members of the offense and defense removed their shoulder pads Wednesday and changed into the new gray shirt. On the back was a list of 10 sayings bordered by the words "I am a Miami Dolphin" that encompass their approach to the upcoming season.

it should not be for sale. its the US Army's Soldier's motto. I suppose they can base their creed on it and use it on a shirt, but you have to draw the line at trying to make money off it. If they did sell it they would need to give the proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project or something.

Obviously I'm not the only one who has lived this creed, this is the Soldier's Creed - In case you forgot. The implication is that Soldiers live this creed, thus, Soldiers and only Soldiers understand it's meaning. A creed is a belief system - a way of life.

I will always place the mission first

I will never accept defeat

I will never quit

I will never leave a fallen comrade

Soldiers have DIED living this creed. Forgive me, for believing that this creed may be sacred. I may live this creed everyday, but apparently my opinion matters little when our Fins "Resolve towards a common goal" are earning your respect. I'm not attempting to make this "some negative connotation towards the men and women of the Army (Fixed for you)." I was just expressing my opinion. I didn't expect you to agree with it, but I didn't expect criticizm either.
