The new white jersey looks like they are wearing a white polo shirt with an aqua collar.  It's totally amateurish.

And the worst part is that once we get out of September, opponents (except WSH and DAL, whom MIA doesn't play for 3 more years) will be wearing their dark colors at home (so MIA will be wearing white), and MIA always wears white at home.  So we'll have plenty of time to see this clownish jersey.

edit: Well, at least the Dolphins won't be the only ones looking like idiots:

The collars are the only thing that piss me off.  It looks like everybody's wearing one of those Jim Jensen neck rolls when they're really not.  For a lineman or a fullback that's not a big deal but like on Tannehill and the WR's it looks so out of place it's ridiculous.

I'm usually a uniform snob but this really doesn't bother me although I do prefer the green around the whole collar.  Maybe it's from watching so much soccer but this doesn't stand out to me.

I try to focus on how the team plays and not on ancillary things like the unforms, but yeah, I hate the "fake collar" thing too.

It was bothering me constantly during the game.  It looked like they were douchey 80s guys with popped collars.  There's a few teams who have that same look.  Nike has no idea how to make a uniform.

I guess it could be worse.  It could have been the uniforms that Seattle wore yesterday.  Wow.

Did no one watch any other games last week?  All the Nike white uniforms are like this, for every team, as far as I've seen.  Thank Nike.

Those Seahawk unis were tough to look at.  To me, they looked like a Dept. of Corrections team with that neon stripe running down their legs.

I think Nike felt they had to change "something" since they won the contract. It could have been worse. Put a bunch of gay (not that there is anything wrong with that) guys designing stuff with scissors in their hands and anything can happen. It could have been worse.

Not all of them but most I think. I don't think Houston, Arizona, Dallas, NYJ, or Eagles have this look.

I thought the same thing though, there are several teams with this and people just noticed?

right maybe not all, but a lot.

Most of them also have that fake-stitching-look printed at the neckline on the "colored" jerseys that also looks horrible.  Looks like the guy sneezed and the snots went all over the front of his shirt.

Miami did not wear white jerseys in any preseason game and they wore aqua against HOU in Week 1.

Furthermore, some teams apparently had the foresight to prevent Nike from making them look like idiots in their whites.  For example:





Although there is a silver lining, I suppose... the Bills look like jackasses no matter which jersey they're in:

That would be an excuse if you only watch Miami play and do not watch any highlights during the week.

And given that not every team has this ridiculous color scheme in their whites, how would I possibly know whether Miami would until I saw it?

Furthermore:






The clown collars are far from a standard.  Miami has played 5 games against teams wearing their whites and exactly one had these stupid collars.
