It has a gallery showing all different views,gloves socks,front,back,etc....

I'm not sure I like the little foil strips on the collar...

Its not much different.  But, once again, people will run out and buy jerseys.  They are starting pre-sale on the 15th. ::)

I wonder if they will be cheaper.  My guess is they will go up to $100 for replicas.

It must be a popular view. I tried a few times and cannot access the pictures. It looks like the web server is down from the last message it showed me.

All this hype for new gloves?

NIKE is no different than any clothes designer, they are proud of their creation. This is more than new gloves although I can see why someone would say that since the color scheme and immediate appearance are about the same. NIKE isn't trying to show off a new look for the Dolphins, they are trying to show off a new look for their NFL jersey design.

I agree, I was just being a smartass lol

Those gloves are pretty sweet though.  ;D

Overall, pretty nice.

I'd still like to see some kind of "crazy" uni to use as a once a year alternate...although the gloves are pretty cool.

Sweet. We will look good while sucking.  ;)

I like the cleats.

I also like how Buffalo has their logo on the pants and back of the jersey.

Just once I'd like to see the orange jersey with the aqua pants.  I'm sure it would look weird, but I've wanted to see that combo since the Great Pumpkin unis were rolled out.

Dolphins announced a "slight change" to the LOGO next year in 20123

So we have to wait 18,111 years for a new logo?


 ;D

lol, oops. No just till 2013!

Same 'ol same 'ol

Any idea what that means? 

In the past, the slight logo changes have been little tweaks to the ratio of size between the dolphin and the sun.  The updated, cleaner logo introduced in the 90s was the largest cahnge, and one that I thought was needed. 

I'm guessing that we're talking about making the Dolphin "meaner?"  Angry eyes, like Mr. Potato Head, perhaps???

LOL. Maybe he'll be using his rear flipper to kick a field goal.

^^
Laces out!!!!!!  ;D

I saw one model recently of removing the sun burst the Dolphin is jumping through and placing the sun burst orange things around the top of the visor so to speak. Coming up almost like orange shark teeth. It wasn't an awful look in reality. I might not be doing it justice describing it. Might be something along those lines but I would consider that more than a slight change. Who knows.

Has anyone ever had the "No, Ray Finkle is not a real kicker" conversation with someone?

Not the color, but they could do something like this. Imagine that logo on a white helmet. I think it will be something along those lines.

Or something like this

I'm all for changing the primary color to blue like that.  There's nothing manly about teal lol

Flipper riding a flaming football?!

They need to just leave it the hell alone. Not everything on this planet needs to change.

I haven't but I can imagine that it has happened on a few occasions.


I kinda like that especially the helmet!!!!!

^^  I like it too, but maybe have orange numbers with a teal trim?  The teal on blue is too dark imo

another thing they could do is take the helmet off the dolphin. I would actually be in favor of that

I've always wondered if they could make the helmet like the one Flipper is wearing...all white with an orange M on it.
It would look very college, and I'm totally fine with that.  I think it would look great with the all white scheme at home.

I don't mind any of the change ups, as long as they are only "special occasion" type deals.  I LOVE the Dolphins color scheme and unis and don't want them to change.  However, I don't like the dolphin on the blue helmet because it looks like he's humping the damn ball.  As randy as dolphins are in the wild, perhaps it is appropriate, though. :P

the blue helmet is not going to happen. That is just a NIKE mock up for a 1 time deal which the team isn't doing, they shot that down.

But the logo on that helmet they might keep. Just picture it on the white helmet.

Another "possible" look would be to make the Dolphin gray (a normal color of a Dolphin) and remove the helmet off it. That might also be a good look.

But the whole blue uni and helmet is not going to happen. I just showed it to show the "logo" on that helmet and how it is a slight change from our current logo

Man, leave the uniform and logo alone. That mock-up is horrible.

If they change the colors away from aqua and orange, I'm going to lose it.

I know I'm late to this party, but I would love that change. It wouldn't work for daytime home games in September. But that would be awesome. As far as the "real" changes, love the gloves. Hate the pants.

I hear the logo that is being rolled out next year is the same guy who did this for the marlins.....

Alternate logos by a graphic designer:

Personally, I'm not a fan of our "all white" uniforms,and really don't like the all white throwbacks...I really wouldn't mind seeing an alternative or a change to a non white helmet.Maybe I'd like the All white uniforms better....I wouldn't be opposed to maybe navy blue,or orange pants mixed in the rotation...

The other thought, I'm not really seeing a radical logo that I like so far.....I'm afraid if they tweek the logo they might end up with something like the "Dolphins stadium Logo" or the Miami Marlins logo  :'( Both bad IMO

Everyone needs to face it already. The dolphin is the sissiest animal in all of pro sports. No matter how pissed off the scowl no one is going to be intimidated. Short of Navy Seals using dolphins Day of the Dolphin style to take out Iranian warships we're screwed. 

^^^

Ducks, Penguins, Cardinals, Bucks, Orioles, Blue Jays and maybe Cubs.

Yeah, there are some just as sissy.  ;)

Birds will mess you up.

^^^ Dolphins kill sharks, so....

Take it to the Trayvon/Zimmerman thread.  ;D

I actually really like the logo on the white helmet!!!!!!

like both logos. But on a white helmet you must have a stripe down the middle on the top

See I love the all white uniforms. When I think of the Dolphins that is the look I think of. White on White really is the Dolphins tradmark colors. Dating back to the glory days from the 70's! I was never a fan of the "TEAL" pants and white jerseys.

The all white at home look is as good as it gets in all of football IMHO.

Dolphins CEO Mike Dee said they won't do anything drastic with changes. And might end up making no changes at all. Said what you saw Tampa do a bunch of years back going from Orange to Pewter gray won't happen!

I guess that answers that.  Disgusting.

At $100, guess I won't be needing any new jersey's for a while.

I have come to terms with the idea that I don't really like jerseys anymore.  I always wore them just because that's what I did.  However, they never fit right unless you're a stocky dude.  I don't like the cut, and they are built for pads.  They just don't look right.

I've almost stopped wearing them entirely.

Back to China for my Jersey orders.

They wonder why China jerseys are so popular. ::)

I am with Dave.  As a guy who once collected jerseys to wear and currently own more than I can count, I think the sheer cost of them makes them un-affordable.  And, because I don't want to look like a d-bag, I refuse to wear them once the players leave the team.  That makes them only useful for 1-2 seasons, and I refuse to spend that much on such a useless item.  A shirt I can only wear 20 or 30 times that costs $100.  F that.

I've said it repeatedly, if you want a jersey it should be personalized.

I have always thought grown men and adults in jersey's looked foolish. The fact that they pay upwards of $100 to buy those things confirm they aren't that bright either!

Never been a jersey buying guy.

Yeah, I'm with you, guys--I love the all whites!  I don't know what it is particularly about them, but they just look awesome to me, particularly when they get dirty throughout the game (though I like them pretty untarnished in appearance as well--so long as it's the offensive, i.e. skill players  ;) ).  I'd say I even like them better than the aqua/teal top w/ white pants, though we wear that particular combo a lot more rarely these days (preseason, night games, and the occasional road game, depending on what the home team is wearing).  I think I may have started appreciating the all whites more when Saban was here, even though they wore them almost all the damn time.  Ha ha.  That's the only good thing that SOB did for this franchise, having us wear the all whites on the road as well rather than the aqua/teal pants, if possible. 

I guess it probably comes down to what MikeO said--to me, perhaps the all-white look is actually the "classic" Dolphins look to me, in my mind, even moreso than the aqua top.  That, and I just think it's sharp lookin' in that bright Miami sun!   :)

I disagree.  As a person who always covered games and could never actively root for my teams, I was always jealous of people who could really "get into it" at games.  Wear those jerseys, hats, shirts, what-have-you.  I think it's great.  Get as into the games as you want.  You only live once.

I believe buying players of "today" comes with a cautionary tale.  I have a Marshall jersey I can never wear again, same with Ricky Williams (although the Ricky Williams is a $40 junk jersey).  If I ever buy another "player" jersey again, it'll be a throw back.  Marino, maybe Offerdahl.

I recently purchased a personalized Boston Bruins jersey with my name on it.  I love it.  I don't wear it often, but it's great.  I suspect when I have a few extra bucks floating around I'll do the same for Miami and the Red Sox.

^^ I would LOVE an Offerdahl jersey.  I haven't been able to find one, and I've been looking.

I have a Marshall, Ricky, Bell, Madison, Mare, Zach, Welker, Ronnie...  The list is long.

I have mostly bought "blank" jerseys for both Panthers and Marlins, until now.  I got a Stanton Marlins jersey for Christmas and a Weiss Panthers jersey (from China).  But I also have a Jovanovski jersey and one with my name on it.  The Panthers have a "buy a blank jersey and we'll customize it while you wait" station in the stadium. 

But I don't think I'll be buying any more Dolphins jerseys unless I get a deal.  Especially for that kind of money.

I agree with both Mike O & Maine, let me explain. Grown males watching games it is perfectly acceptable to wear their jerseys I feel. On a Wednesday evening while going through the grocery store, you can sport your gear but I feel the jersey is kind of cheesy then.

Modified to add my $.02 on Offerdahl. I was a big fan of his back in the day so when I got my personalized authentic (I got a great sale when the NFL switched jerseys so people might want to see if NFL.com might be offering good specials on the Reebocks) I chose his 56 in tribute and then put my name on the back.

^^ I agree with this as well.  I only wear a jersey on game day.

I dig mine out on game day(s).

Most of my Cubs jersey's have no name (I do have a Lee,Ramirez,and a Theriot, Mark Grace  throw back,but he is my favorite Cub) But I have a Red,Dark blue spring training,84 throwback, with no names....I think Baseball jersey's look fine without a name,Football without name or number don't look right....

I would like to get a personalized Dolphins jersey,but don't want to fork out the cash....

 :-[ Jersies of players no longer with the team...Multiples - Chambers,Ronnie Brown,Thomas,Taylor,Clayton,and Marino Singles - Pritchett,Gadsden,Jabbar reversible,Marshall,Culpepper,Mcduffie Then I have a couple of baseball style jersey's...

I always wanted but don't own.... Keith Jackson,Byars...Non Dolphin Walter Payton,Muster,and a Rathman

Anymore I only wear them game day while watching the game,at a game...Baseball jerseys,occasionally non game days,being button down (except my throwbacks) I can wear them as a second shirt when cooler...
