There isn't a throwback uniform in the NFL that can top the Dolphins, who don the uniforms of the only perfect season in NFL history. Miami brought back the aqua throwbacks in 2015 and the white throwbacks in 2019, never wearing them together until 2021 -- which catapulted them to No. 1 on this impressive list.

These uniforms are actually a "a modern-day homage to the original uniform" with the bold stripes on the sleeves and original logo. The Dolphins wore their throwback aqua and white uniforms from the franchise's inaugural season in 1966 until 1973, before making a few tweaks to the helmet and the uniform in the late-1970s and 1980s.

If any uniform combination defines a franchise, it's the Dolphins' uniforms they wore during their glory years. Miami needs to make these throwbacks permanent.


 
Regarding a permanent change, need to notify the league office by March. This year would have been the earliest we were eligible to change after the last change.

If they cared about the fans they would do this. But they won't because Ross is attached to the ugly whale looking obscenity he put on our helmets. Plus merchandise.
 
Question...if Miami can win a super bowl in the next couple of years with the current uniform would fans still want a change?

It's funny how much better uniforms look when teams are winning. Just wondering.

If they win a SB I don't care what they look like.

Having said that yes let's go back.

Agreed. It seemed everyone hated the Broncos uniforms when they changed in the nineties, then they won a few Super Bowls and the uniforms suddenly looked better.

Some will always like the originals, but winning does change a lot.

I do like aspects of the current uniform, but it could be better. I like the deeper aqua of the classics. I think the current logo is missing something, although I like the fighting position of the dolphin.

My least favorite logo was the steroid dolphin, but the face of the dolphin was probably the best. Helmet vs. no helmet? I'm not sure.

I do believe winning changes perception, though.
