New Dolphins logo...sort of

If you were watching NFL Total Access on NFL Network on Thursday, you'd know that the released a new version of the Miami Dolphins logo.  Well - in a way, at least.

There really isn't anything that new.  The only change I have noticed is the "logotype" - which is basically the lettering.  Below is a photo I took of my TV screen - so it isn't the best quality.  But it allows you to see the difference.

You can click on the image to enlarge it.  As you can see, the only difference seems to be the lettering - known as the "logotype."  More specifically, they have eliminated the thick orange stripe on the bottom with the word "Miami" written in it.  The font of the "logotype" still seems the same.

If you make the jump, you can see two photos of the actual helmet logo that I took.  With my eyes, I only notice a small difference.  Take a look for yourself and tell us if you see any difference.

New:

Once again, you can enlarge the images by clicking on them.

The only thing that might be different is the white outline around the orange sun.  In the newer one, it might be a little thicker.

Thoughts?

i disagree

I don’t see why we’d have to change it. It’s fine the way it is. Now – the uniforms could be tweaked a little.

yeah you know what, i've never gotten why sports like baseball and football are so monotonous

uniforms wise. In soccer, specially the huge teams like Real Madrid and Manchester U, they change their uniforms every single year, and for NFL standards you could call those changes really substantial. I think that is really cool because they respect the traditional colors and all but it is still a big change in design and material. Take a look for yourself.

I agree with Matty's disagreement.

One of the coolest parts about the Dolphins to me is how they HAVEN’T changed their look that much over the years. Same reason I like the Steelers or Bears uniforms.

Would you guys rather us be a team like Jacksonville who used to changed their look twice a season? I have a buddy who’s a huge Jaguars fan and he hated it because it seemed like every time he bought a new jersey, they’d change, and he’d magically have a throwback that was only actually 2 months old.

Now, I mean, don’t get me wrong, some teams NEEDED to change their uniforms, such as the Pats or Bucs, but once you find a good, classic look, I believe in sticking to it.

I can see the differences.

I like it. Not a big deal or difference, but I like it.

The only other difference I see

is that the lettering looks a little more modernized (less curvy)…

still waiting on my black-on-black road alternates ;-) lol
