I still liked the one that started the whole logo thread the best and I would have LOVED that one, this is just meh. I don't see it as an upgrade over the current one in any way shape or form.

Wouldn't have been my first choice but it's not as bad as some of you are making it out to be either.  I am fine with it

I have not held back my feeling on this logo at all......I voted for the Abomination!!!!!!

Exactly.

And as Dave said, it's bland, boring and uninspired. A dolphin swimming in front of the sun...okaaay.   

Just another reminder of who's in charge, and why?

^^^ He must have been concerned that a great offseason would make us forget!!

It's an abomination!!!

I think the poll results speak volumes

Best line from opposing fan so far... "At least without the helmet it's easier for the Dolphins to blow!!!"

Gotta look at the bright side... For all of you nameless, faceless board members who like to constantly whine and complain about the team (you know who your anonymous asses are), now you'll have something to fall back on when the team starts playing really well.

One can only wonder, if this poll was expanded to the masses.

ABOMINATION,  Maybe in a few years they will make the tail go down again

I can't imagine the amount of sedation one would have to be under to "love" this design.

I would like to imagine it, though.  If you could give me the number of your dealer, I'd be willing to experiment...

Dolphin wearing a Dolphins helmet is a little bit gimmicky, but it's traditional. I can understand the need to modernise it, bring into this century, especially from a marketing perspective.

It's always going to be difficult to make the Dolphin an aggressive logo so I'd argue why bother trying, the logo doesn't have to be aggressive it just have to be unique.

I'm probably not as attached to the logo as you guys are but it's ok, just a bit generic.

horrible

THE DOLPHIN IS NOT SWIMMING IT'S LEAPING!!  (but it still sucks)

Is it better than these?

^^^ Yes, to all but the Steelers logo.

I wish I could change my vote. Seeing it on a helmet is starting to sway me a bit. It definitely looks better that way than stand alone.

Like I said, wait for the uniforms.

If the uniforms are good, the change will be good.
If the uniforms are bad, none of the rest of this will matter.

I'm just hoping we get rid of the clown collars.

Doubtful.  According to the Dolphins' equipment manger, it is a result of the Nike "Fly" collar jersey design.  Most teams (not all) have it, supposed to make the jersey fit better.  Teams which have different color front and neck line will end up with "clown collar," as you say, unless the opt to not have the special "fly collar" at all.

White collar.  Problem solved.

See, I like some contrast.  I like aqua pants, aqua collar, aqua facemask.  I don't like the all-white insane-asylum look.  The "clown collar" doesn't bother me at all - I actually like the way it looks.  I hope they add more colorful elements to the new uniforms.  Integrate more orange into the look.  All white may be "cooler" in the heat, but it lacks any character or imagination.  Every team has white as a color.  How about a little identity?

I don't mind aqua collars... if they can go all the way around and not look like polo shirts are sticking out.

Yes, but I don't consider those the standard to compare the new logo against. I prefer to compare it to the previous logo.

This seems like a better fit for this logo than a football team!!!!!

I also found this rather amusing!!!!! It won't let me add the picture so click the link.

The photo you linked to is cute, in an anatomically incorrect kind of way. A female dolphin's "goodies" are on her underside, about halfway up the torso. Apparently the old logo dolphin enjoys dry-humping the new logo dolphin's spine.

The preceding marine biology moment was brought to you by Jacques Cousteau...

^^^^
Hey now I said it was amusing not anatomically correct lol.  ;D

Well, dolphins have been known to rape other dolphin's blowholes.  Such kind and gentle creatures they are.

Now that I've brought it up,  the new logo makes me feel like I've been raped in my blowhole also.

Dave, what do you think about this?  Instead of the dark blue in the sun.

Quit teasing with what could've been.

Dave doesn't like Aqua and orange touching each other.  He says it hurts his eyes.

Lmfao! Score
