Over/Under on New Logo/Uniforms

If the Dolphins marketing team is at all smart, they will keep this logo for a while (other than minor tweaks) then in about 10-12 years start selling throwbacks to the old logo.

If the Dolphins marketing team is at all smart......

I think this logo speaks volumes that can answer that question pretty easily.

I have seen a few people say it is ok and very few say they love it. This logo is hated by a majority from what I have read and seen and not just on this site.

^^ just reading some general football website many non-dolphins fans seem to like the new logo and thought the old one was lame and corny.

Really?  In my day to day life, I haven't heard one iota of support for this new logo.  I get a lot of head shakes and laughs when I show them the pic.

I honestly don't care what non-dolphins fans think of our logo just like the Bills should care less about what we think of theirs. They are not the ones who are supposed to be wearing this shit stain of a logo. Not to mention most non-dolphins fans I personally know which is a lot considering I don't live in Florida are in tears from laughter at how ridiculous this thing is.

For purposes of comparison, how many of these non-Dolphins fans thought Miami's prior logo was awesome and respect-worthy?

I've never heard one single complaint from any human about any of the Dolphin logos until this one.

Every single one I talked to thought the old logo was better and they would have kept it over this new one if given the choice. I am not sure that translates to "awesome" or "respect-worthy" as that was not asked but it speaks much the same.

I ask because I've seen non-local celebrities wearing stuff like Raiders, Cowboys, White Sox, Sixers, L.A. Kings gear (even when those teams weren't very good), but I've never really seen Dolphins gear sported out the same way (even back when the Dolphins were good).

I guess I underestimated how many people were unhappy with the idea of changing the logo, period.  Compared to what the Patriots or Broncos or Bucs did, this change is pretty tame.

I see people with Dolphins gear on all the time in Dallas. I'm talking about people just going to the movies, at the mall, at the state fair, etc. I often get a "nice shirt" when I wear one of my many Dolphins shirts around town. There are a lot more fans outside of the state of Florida then you would think.

I agree with that, being an out of town fan when I wear my Fins gear I always get something said along the lines of "nice shirt" or "hey I like Miami too"..etc.  In the NFL there are a handful of "NATIONAL TEAMS" that have very big national following. Miami is one of those teams. They are (in no special order) Dallas, Pittsburgh, Miami, Chicago, San Fran, Green Bay, Raiders.

Agreed.....I have a sticker in the back window of my truck and a hitch cover. I get people all the time on the road that pull up next to me with a thumbs up showing off their Dolphins merchandise as well as comments on my hats when I am around town.

Everytime the Phins come out here to play the Cardinals the fans come out in in large volume. It is quite impressive. I remember my first game in 96 here in Phoenix when Marino and Jimmy were running the show and I was in awe because I had never seen so many Marino jerseys in one place.

So was the flying elvis when it first rolled out. 

Change the logo will sell more merchandise then keeping the old one.  And they will be able to do throwbacks.  When the logo only had minor changes the throwbacks weren't noticeably different.

Changing the logo was good marketing.
