New Times article insulting

[PassRush]

Screw them. They have no respect for tradition. Sure, the new Falcons logo is whats hip but you cannot argue with 40 years of dominance just because of a less scary logo

But Agua said "what is the purpose of the contest" , not "why are people entering it?"

The purpose of the contest is so the the New Times can present a predesigned logo to wayne in hopes that he'll use that logo.

Actually, it didn't seem Agua cared much why people wanted to enter the contest. he just wanted to belittle them.

Right along with the dopes from this site getting a stiffie at the idea of submitting a new logo.

That's what ticked me off.

No pi%@ing contest, Z.

That's really harsh, Agua. The folks working on the alternate logos took this as an opportunity to play around and experiment with their talent. That doesn't mean they're all for overhauling the logo and it CERTAINLY doesn't mean their dopes.

I think this post was uncalled for.

I think Agua was 100% correct. It's one thing to want to create a logo for the WEB site but its another to say our teams logo is awful or something like that.

Personally, I would have chosen the Marauders. But the Dolphins name is what it is and I love it. They can change the name after they kill me!

they r idiots, don't even like football, the paper is all adds anyway.

You consider 96 a big change in the logo?

Ok..........

Look at it! It went from looking like some abstract dolphin painting to looking like a cartoon character! THats a big change imo..

Now that's a hot Cardinal :D

By the way, the Cleveland Browns is the worst team name AND has the worst logo in the NFL.

Hey guys, let's be a color. Holy crap, here comes the Purples and the Ragin' Oranges!!!! :goof:

Other teams have already wised up. Look at the New England Patriots. Their original logo was a goofy-looking colonial soldier squatting in a rumpled uniform. Talk about embarrassing. In 1993 they redesigned and -- BAM! -- instantly became a Super Bowl powerhouse. Same thing with the Broncos. The most Miami ever did was tweak the image in 1997. Did you even notice?

I noticed the change in our logo BIG TIME. So now logos decide whether teams win championships? You can't be serious. Why even give in to this ridiculous crap? What happens if the logo changes yet we still win no SUPER BOWLS?

What a joke. Here is the Dolphins name and meaning from the miamidolphins.com website:

DOLPHINS NAME

Mariners, Marauders, Mustangs, Missiles, Moons, Sharks, Suns none of those other names suggested to the American Football League expansion franchise in 1965 could raise a fin to the runaway winner.

"Dolphins" was submitted by 622 entrants in a contest which attracted 19,843 entries and more than a thousand different names. The dozen finalists were delivered to a seven-member screening committee of local media.

The bottlenose dolphin, an intelligent creature with an irresistible built-in grin, has inspired wonder for centuries. Plutarch observed 1,900 years ago that the dolphin "is the only creature who loves man for his own sake." Every trainer will have a tale of the dolphin's cleverness and ingenuity, and scientists are fascinated by a dolphin's natural equipment which far surpasses the range of Navy sonar equipment.

"The dolphin is one of the fastest and smartest creatures of the sea," Joe Robbie said in announcing the team name on October 8, 1965. "Dolphins can attack and kill a shark or a whale. Sailors say bad luck will come to anyone who harms one of them."

Mrs. Robert Swanson of West Miami won two lifetime passes to Dolphin games with her nickname entry. The tiebreaker was picking the winner and score of the 1965 game between the University of Miami and Notre Dame. It ended in a scoreless tie.

I like the Dolphin name, but to be honest I wouldn't mind a uniform and helmet change. I don't agree with the article, but I do think we got some pretty weak uniforms

I LOVE the logo. I think it represents us really well. If you see that logo anywhere, you know its the MIAMI DOLPHINS. I would be really dissapointed if they changed it(Especially since I just got it tattooed on me). I dont even want the helmet taken off the dolphin. I might be wrong but it seems some people on here are never happy with anything inregards to this team. I dont understand how they are still fans of the Dolphins.

Who cares? Really, who cares what anyone thinks about our team?
