...just in case anyone forgot.

Facebook had some jersey-unveiling crap recently, where they were taking orders.  People still hate it.  Anyone want to start making custom-made jerseys of the fan-made logo?  We could make millions...

Build a bridge and get over it.

^^^ lol


I'm in, Dave. And no, I haven't forgotten.  ;D

Dave Gray for president!!!

I feel like this every time I see ...still.

(yep, I went there!  :D)

I'm the crying Native American from the 1970's environmental PSA....

When I see the new logo...a little tear runs down my face in sadness in what it has become..... :'(

I think the logo might look better in context with the entire uniform, but it's still hard to stomach.

I'm there with you. And Dammit, I give a hoot.

This is how I feel when I'm told to "get over it":

Still my all-time favorite PSA... I remember when I was a little kid, explaining to my little brother why the Indian was crying.

I ordered a new Tannehill jersey.

I figure there's no use in fighting it.  Regardless of what Dave thinks, its not going to go away.  May as well embrace it.

I'm with you Dave.....I still hate it and still refuse to wear anything with that hideous logo on it.

That should make you pretty easy to spot. You might even get on tv at the games. If you do please kiss SportsChick so everyone realizes that you aren't ... well ... happy!!  ;) ;D

^^ I bet you you're wrong....

...about me being the only one, not about being "happy"

+1 I won't wear anything with a hideous dolphin's logo.  No change.   :)

I keep hoping that I'll learn to like the new logo.  So far I'm still a slow learner.   ;D

I didn't like it at first, I still don't really love it, but I like the new jersey design.  I wish they were a bit more interesting around the sleeve area.

Maybe he could appoint you to the Chief Whine Steward position... ;)

I was walking into Chipotle' the other day and this guy was walking out wearing a t-shirt with the new logo on it. It was upside down with a circle and slash over it. I started cracking up and let him know I didn't care for it either. As my daughter and I were discussing it while standing in line I realized I should have gotten a picture of it but it was too late.

I need to look around and see if anyone is making them.  I'm guessing that's a mom and pop kind of thing since I'm guessing it's an infringement of copyright.

Pretty funny...

CF, I'm looking for that shirt.  It must be for sale somewhere.

I liked the old logo better (actually I liked the original logo and uniform better than anything else) but as logos go, they could have screwed this one up so much worse.

After the logo presentation i was like ewwwww WTF. >:( >:(

Then the unveiling of the entire uniform, my reaction was a lil mixed. Its ok except I firmly want the dolphin tail to swope down instead of up. The Uni is more simplistic.


We  all can agree its no where near as abysmal as the marlins .

Hell people in new england still hate the Flying Elvis. Many would like to see Patriot Pat again.

If the Fins start winning , the new look wil be overshadowed.

I think this is worse than the Marlins change.  The Marlins had no storied identity, so a re-branding made sense.

The Dolphins have a storied franchise, and that logo represents a team that we all grew up loving.  This logo represents more media-buzz bullshit that the fanbase hates already.

I read Daves post and thought....It's Windows 8!  :D

I can appreciate the sentiment behind the, well...sentiment in your "history-yada-yada" argument, but on straight graphical quality, it smokes the Marlins logo seven ways to Sunday. The new Marlins logo is one of the cheesiest, lamest pieces of branding art I have ever seen. It looks like what someone might come up with if Whataburger decided to open a theme park.

I agree that on a purely aesthetic level, the old Marlins logo trumps the new one.  But branding is also about new identities and speaking to a general concept with your design, which the new Marlins logo conveys very well, I believe.

The Dolphins logo, I would argue is ALSO less aesthetically pleasing than its predecessor, it successfully conveys a new message that we don't want sent -- that we are soft and new.

As opposed to the hard cartoon dolphin that Miami had before, right?

^^^ exactly...the new Dolphins logo at least represents a dolphin, while the new Marlins logo just looks like the Wally World sign flipped upside down in a storm.

Absolutely, hard lines vs soft lines.  The previous Dolphins had hard-line animation.  The new one has wisps of color.

The lines still look harder than this:

Yes, they do.  If we went from the old, old logo to this, I might be more sympathetic

Teams go throwback all the damn time, the one time I would absolutely love it (love our old logo).  We go suck.
