keep the helmet the way it is.
SkapePhin said:As is noticeable on the helmet in your sig, the logo has undergone many changes in 40 years.. At first the abstract painting looking Dolphin was offcentered on the sunburst.. Then the abstract painting Dolphin became centered... then the abstract painting dolphin became a cartoon dolphin in the mid 90s.. Im sorry, but the argument doesnt work.. It has changed significantly since its inception.. including a color change to darker shades.
Ozzy said:Uniform colors: Aqua Green and Orange (Dark Blue was added to the logo and uniforms as an accent color in the late 90's). The Dolphins primarily wear white jerseys at home, except for night contests when they dress in aqua jerseys. Since the 2003 season, the Dolphins have worn an alternate orange jersey once each season for nationally televised contests. They are 2-0 in games wearing the alternate jersey.
Helmet design: A dolphin wearing a football helmet, jumping in front of an orange sunburst
The only change was when Jimmy Johnson centered it, inserted blue, and changed the face to a meaner looking Dolphin. A change that I was opposed to. If you tweak it too many times, it's gonna start looking like a Dude, not a Dolphin.
I am not a Michigan Fan but there uni's are kick a$$.DrAstroZoom said:Oooooh kay. I get you. I guess that makes sense. That's why I started following the University of Michigan, although it didn't in the final analysis make me a fan.

I became a fan of the Dolphins at age 6 because that was Miami's football team, and I was living in Homestead! :)
SkapePhin said:They didnt just change the face, they changed the entire Dolphin and Sunburst..
And the colors have changed.. It was a light aqua back in the old days.. Now its almost green..
Ozzy said:The Color has always been the same. It was changed once. By none other than Jimmy Johnson.
Nothing says 'Miami' like a banjo-driven upidy song.
It's embarassing. It's a buzzkill. It needs to be tossed out.

SkapePhin said:Thats what Im saying though.. The colors have changed.. They arent the same as the traditional 70s era..
They darkened the aqua and added navy.. The "tradition" everyone speaks of here is already in the past.. We dont have the same uniforms and logo that we had in the 70s/80s..
Ozzy said:It should have never been touched. That's what I'm saying.
Your nit picking it because you would further like to change it. The logo is not that different than what it started out to be.
At least it still slightly resembles the name, and that's a Dolphin.

SkapePhin said:I personally think that taking the helmet off the Dolphin would fix that problem.. Dolphins have the only animal logo that anthromorphises the animal and puts football equipment on it..
