Looks like a cross between the 1966 and something more modern.. or maybe its just a comparison from old faded photo's in my head of back then..

Sigh, I know its a pipe-dream, but wish Ross would recognize the feedback on these that I've seen and go back to these classics. I've gotten a little more used to the new ones, but these really are gorgeous.. but.. I know it won't happen any time soon.

Hey, remember when Spurrier took over the 'Skins a few years ago and changed the look? They went back.. Just sayin! And apparently they'll sell them in the team proshop.. I'd buy these way over the new ones.

They look awesome and I love them, but I don't know if I will get one.  Makes them justified for these gimmicks every year.  How to sell more jerseys - make a new one every year!  Its an obvious money-making scheme.

I really dislike the pre-97 logo (the dolphin looks like the ditto machine was low on ink) and to be honest, I prefer the new uniforms.  I do miss the navy blue from the JT-era uniforms, though.

Strictly color wise I like the current color of "aqua" or "teal" or whatever technically it is. I do like the current color alot.

The new logo has grown on me over time. Still don't love it but its not a huge deal honestly.

Please, for the love of all that's good and holy, I hope one day in my lifetime we go back to these and trash the new crap. I actually like the 80' s logo in my sig. better, but at this point I'll take this over the pre-school drawn dolphin that adorns that horrible get up.

I agree  the new logo is trash,  the color scheme of the new era is awesome but the logo needs to be reworked. If they make a change to have the dolphin tail swoop down instead of up maybe it won't be such an eyesore. Then i can buy new Dolphin stuff.. for now Im atill stuck in the 97  Zach-JT era jersey

It's really a no brainer. Even non-Dolphin fans really like the old uniforms better. I really hope they can move on form their current mistake in the near future. There's no doubt this throwback is to try and appease the majority of fans they have offended with the newer "softer" colors.

Getting offended by something you see on the internet is like choosing to step in dog shite instead of walking around it.

The throwback is an attempt to sell those "vintage" jerseys just before Christmas time! lol

It's a money grab plain and simple

I like the "throwback" uniforms, but other than the helmet logo they really don't look the 70's era uniforms.

DING DING DING!  We have a winner.

They aren't admitting mistakes or doing anything.  They are doing this to sell more jerseys.  At some point, when jersey sales start falling off cause everyone already owns their favorite players' jersey, they introduce a throwback or a alternate (orange) color to try to boost sales for people who just can't get enough.

Money grab, all day every day.

That's because this is a throwback to 1996.
