Miami Dolphins CEO Mike Dee says that the leaks that have surfaced the Internet of the new Dolphins logo is accurate and Nike is the blame for it. They had planned to slowly roll out elements of the new logo (and subsequent new uniforms) in the following month leading up to the draft but now he has no choice but to change plans.
Of course, no matter whose fault it is, these things are so common now with the Internet. One person needs to take a photo of a logo and the rest goes viral on the Internet. The best solution is for teams to just reveal the logo once it’s been decided. Teams that haven’t had these kind of mishaps with leaks normally are the teams that immediately reveal them or they somehow lock it up, bury it and dig it out when it’s time to reveal.
But at least with this out, we get a chance to see what possibilities are out there for the new uniform
“There’s a lot of history in this in that we went back to colors, the true aqua and the true orange that were part of the first 29 years of the franchise’s history,” Dee said. “But the logo design itself and some other things you’ll see respect that tradition in the past but also have an eye on the 21st century Dolphins.”
I am not sure exactly what it means that they’re going to make it more 21st century. But as long as it doesn’t go super crazy like the Seahawks, I can live with this new look. But I just hope they don’t go storm trooper for every game.
