Every dolphins logo sucks, in fact, everything dolphins sucks. As long as the jets only 2 wins this year are against the dolphins, I will be happy.

Yeah, those unis are terrible. Teams with the classic look always win. I hate the Giants, but their uniforms are nice. The Raiders, Jets, Redskins, Bears, etc...all look better (for the most part) than teams with new school / arena football looking unis.

Once exception is the Cowboys...they have a classic look, but the color scheme is all fucked up. I mean the Star on the helmet is navy blue, but when they wear white jerseys, they have royal blue. Then the pants with the white jerseys are like some weird color, also with royal, but when they wear the dark jerseys, it's navy blue, and the pants are more silver. Overall, it's just a mess.

They need to go back to this look:

I'm glad that the Broncos went back to orange jerseys, but I still have never been a huge fan of the helmet logo. They should go with this as a compromise between the old and the new:

I love the old school "D" look of Denver. I also prefer the lighter blue to the navy. It's weird, almost every team that was once lighter blue, switched to navy / dark blue (Chargers, Denver, Dallas(kinda), Patriots, Seattle).

I'm glad the Bills got rid of those terrible uniforms they were wearing and went back to a more old school look.

Everyone loves the Chargers powder blues, but to me, this is their best look:

Denver was way better like this:

The Seahawks were better like this:

The Patriots were better like this:

The Rams also need to change back to the pure yellow in their uniforms as opposed to the mustard yellow that they try to pass off as gold.

^Definitely. I forgot about the Rams.

This should be their Home uniform right here:

And this should be their away:

I wouldn't mind seeing the Redskins go back to the darker Burgundy and darker Gold look.

Something like this but without the "spear" helmet:

For the Chargers, I changed my mind...THIS should be their look:

Yeah, I suppose so, but call me crazy, I actually LIKE those creamsicle uniforms.

The new Dolphin's logo is an improvement. It was time for the that old mammal-in-a-helmet thing to go. Something my 5 year old woulda come up with.

That's pretty cool. I think the Patriots should do something similar, a compromise between the old and the new. Go back to red jerseys with shoulder stripes, and white helmet. The blue/silver does nothing for me.

Think Kraft will let me make a pitch? I have the Power Point presentation ready to go.

I forgot to mention that one of the urban legends of the time was that Bowlen changed the uniforms with the first intention of removing the D to up the stakes of threatening to move the team to Houston in order to get the new stadium built.

Listening to ESPN analysts breakdown Riley Cooper's behavior is amusing. I'm willing to wager that his racial slur at the KC concert had more to do with immature drunkenness than actually being a racist. Heck, my roommates in college would make racial jokes all the time, but they all had black friends etc.

Cris Carter: "I know his (Cooper's) dad, watched him play college ball in Flordia. He didn't have this problem. So the question is, where does it stem from?"

Honestly, they need to stop thinking so hard.

i actually like cris carter but lost respect for him a bit when he channeled stephan A in his HoF speech

im not saying cooper isnt racist as i dont know the man and it is usually a given that you tend to be yourself more when you are drunk. you want to say that around a lot of black people go right ahead. in some circles it is acceptable behavior given the relationships you have with others. but i would be very careful with just labeling someone something as powerful as that

I hate Cris Carter. Ever since he's been on a personal mission to get into the HoF, saying in years past how he was more deserving than others who got in. And that HoF speech at the end was awful. Also, I hate when he and Keyshawn are on NFL Countdown together. Where is that "crap on ESPN" thread we used to have?
