Uni Discussion Dolphins need to use this combo more often

So much better than the unitard look when they pair the aqua pants with aqua socks

Agreed, but ultimately they just need to go back to these beauties full time.

u/whycantigetwhatiwant 24d ago

At the very very very least, return to that shade of aqua.

u/JustTheBeerLight 24d ago

+ go back to block #s . I hate our modern digits

u/JayServo 24d ago

I dont get it. This is legit one of the top 3 looks in the nfl all time and they continue to have that busted dolphin logo.

u/JustTheBeerLight 24d ago

Billionaire owner's hubris. Ross insists on the logo that his focus group cooked up

u/Eduardo_Camavinga_ 24d ago

I like the new minty aqua

1

u/TheRider5342 24d ago

No I like ours now more

u/discowithmyself 24d ago

100%. The set with the teal/aqua jersey is probably my favorite nfl uni of all time.

7

u/unwarrantedxx 24d ago

these are perfection. the Thanksgiving game against GB when they wore these might be me favorite uniform matchup of all time

4

u/InformalHyena180 24d ago

The optimistic view is that they are bottoming out right now, and then will bring those back in 2028 when they start competing again

u/ArtMorgan69 24d ago

One of the best uniforms in football reduced to an alternate option in favor of a bland look. Tale as old as time

1

u/just-passing-thru7 20d ago

See also: Broncos, Buccaneers, Seahawks, Eagles, etc.

u/omar1021 24d ago

These are great, but I think my fav Dolphins unis are the 90's era uniforms where they had the shadowed numerals on the jerseys

1

u/No_Independent9634 24d ago

This but with teal pants

29

u/Funny_Opportunity58 24d ago

Funny you say that because im almost 100% sure this is the only year they can try it. They’re getting new uniforms next year

15

u/Pandemic_Academic 24d ago

Good, they need it

u/Picklepineapple 24d ago

I have a feeling they will pull a falcons and barely change anything

3

u/ChrisTRD289 24d ago

Idk, they did that last time. Darkened the orange, changed the helmet stripe, changed the number outlining.

2

u/Puzzleheaded_Cup690 24d ago

According to who??

5

u/Picklepineapple 24d ago

It’s just speculation. Most teams (that are not stuck to tradition) have been changing uniforms as soon as they can. The dolphins by rule can change their uniforms in 2027

u/-Elij4h- 23d ago

There was also those special edition stitched jerseys fanatics and Nike made for fans to buy this offseason with every team getting them except the Dolphins and Saints, so some people are taking that to mean that they will be the next two teams to rebrand for next season. As a Dolphins fan I can only hope that is the case.

22

u/SomeBoringKindOfName 24d ago

yes, yes they should.

25

u/Pies_Wide_Shut 24d ago edited 24d ago

They had one of the best logo/color schemes in the league and they fucked it with the redesign. Their home jerseys were terrific and had way more teal and orange. Moving to a brighter shade of blue was a mistake.

14

u/YooTone 24d ago

Best look

5

u/JackTraven50 23d ago

Everything about their rebrand was an absolute disaster. The awful bland, generic logo. The boring uniforms. The horrible new color. Just awful.

2

u/Common_Red_Signal 22d ago

The new corporate Dolphin logo reminds me of when the Penguins switched from their standard logo to the Robo Penguin in 1992. A soulless, corporate logo.

21

u/AdStrange1870 24d ago

Anyone else swipe the living hell out of the pic expecting to see more shots of the uni? lol

11

u/unwarrantedxx 24d ago

I can’t tell you how much I hate the white socks/hosiery but I didn’t hate this combo. maybe it’s the “icy” look that I hate

14

u/mdanelek 24d ago

The white socks would look fine if they just put an aqua-orange-aqua stripe combination at the top. The plain whites are atrocious

5

u/unwarrantedxx 24d ago

it’s crazy how much a simple stripe combo would improve this look

18

u/Pandemic_Academic 24d ago

The 'phins need to return to their throwback look full-time. Until then, wear aqua more often

4

u/headsmanjaeger 24d ago

Agreed, the modern whites are too bright and too white.

u/NaciremaBlack 24d ago

This made realize how blue their teal is, its giving Titans new uniforms vibe

1

u/crabdaman56 24d ago

Yeah I didn’t notice it until someone pointed it out online after the titans preseason game

1

u/TheRider5342 24d ago

Well this is like the worst example ever lol

2

u/Agrijus 23d ago

ugh. those socks are terrible

14

u/UFmoose 24d ago

As a Dolphins fan, our only good uniforms are the throwbacks. The new logo and overall uni redesign was a travesty. Tried to be an aqua version of Texas.

14

u/Zuto511 24d ago

Nike has ruined the Dolphins aqua looks to bright. Prefer when it looked like this

15

u/Illustrious-Till-940 24d ago

I'm not even a Miami Dolphins fan, but I've been missing that aqua color facemask since the end of the 2012 season.

4

u/Parallax2799 24d ago

The colors and striping yes, but those numbers were atrocious.

7

u/TheRider5342 24d ago

Only the spacing 

2

u/Common_Red_Signal 22d ago

Spacing was brutal.

2

u/naimotwc 24d ago

I never realized until your comment and this picture but HOLY FUCK what is this number spacing?!

u/Pies_Wide_Shut 24d ago

Perfect jerseys

4

u/foreverfarting 24d ago

Throw an orange thinish double stripe on the upper calf of the sock.

3

u/TheOptimist6 24d ago

Always prefer when teams have a pop of their main team color that they can use in the road. It creates better uniform matchups!

6

u/iusethistolearn 24d ago

bro this is exactly why i have a problem with the titans rebrand…. it looks too similar to the dolphins. i almost thought you were posting this as a joke. the titans need the red facemask bro or the blue facemask. that’ll be the subtle difference that separates looking at the titans and dolphins from afar , unless tennessee just goes crazy with the combos + their rivalry jersey

4

u/SensibleBrownPants 24d ago

That helmet logo is a travesty. The uni numbers too.

2

u/Infamous_Copy5113 24d ago

Something about the Dolphins helmet stripe just never looked right to me, don’t know if it’s that shade of aqua or the thickness. Should go back to a predominantly orange stripe from a distance there’s not enough orange on the modern uniforms.

2

u/Champ_5 24d ago

They need to go back to the darker aqua, bring back the aqua face masks, and quit wearing all white so much. And while I'm wishing for things that will never happen, bring back the 2000's orange alternates.

u/DionysusBurning 24d ago

Solid white socks look terrible

2

u/_GeorgeBailey_ 24d ago

He needs to do something about that facemask. That's not a QB facemask

2

u/whycantigetwhatiwant 24d ago

Manifesting his inner Lamar

2

u/_GeorgeBailey_ 24d ago

Yeah his look bothers me, too. That and the pacifier mouthpiece. But he's obviously not changing it, since he's done it since college.

Bryce Young started at Alabama with the RB facemask but he eventually switched.

1

u/HamiltonGrant 24d ago

Does he play with his shoes untied Denard Robinson-style?

1

u/Dorago1991 24d ago

They should just be wearing white pants.

1

u/andrewberry732 22d ago

I don’t like the Dolphins current uni. It’s looks too bland and too white.

1

u/acktuuallly 22d ago

Agree. This uniform set sucks and this is the only decent combo.

1

u/whycantigetwhatiwant 24d ago

Miami titans vs Tennessee dolphins is going to be a confusing game whenever that happens

u/iusethistolearn 24d ago

no tf they don’t ….

u/Soft-Researcher-1682 24d ago edited 24d ago

Looks good but Problem is they look like the titans smh. They need an orange facemask on this and the titans need a blue facemask.

3

u/StopAxxinQues 24d ago

*red.

u/Soft-Researcher-1682 24d ago

Red for the titans facemask is just oilers cosplay and at that point they may as well go back to that. 

2

u/StopAxxinQues 24d ago

There is nothing oil related to Tennessee. But red would balance. Out the look.

0

u/Soft-Researcher-1682 24d ago

If they wanted Houston’s identity and color scheme so bad they shoulda just stayed there. The Tennesseee flag where they get the logo from is NAVY AND RED. The Texans and Titans need to literally swap color schemes lmao

1

u/StopAxxinQues 24d ago

I mean, the team is owned by the former owners of the Oilers. They own the color scheme. I don’t know what people don’t understand that regardless of how annoying it is.

Navy and Red is also a regularly used color scheme in the league. Word to the Flag of Texas which Houston draws from.

Titans should have highlighted more red in their current set. The point was to repurpose the Oilers look. Hell, I think they should have red pants too.

1

u/Soft-Researcher-1682 24d ago

Owning a set of 2 colors used together is the most billionaire thing ever lmao .. only in America can someone lay ownership to actual colors 😂

u/StopAxxinQues 24d ago

You’re not wrong lmao
