Miami Dolphins jerseys![]()
Monthly Specials For JulyThe Miami Dolphins are a professional football team based in the Miami, Florida metropolitan area and belong to the Eastern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Dolphins were founded by Joseph Robbie, and began play in the American Football League as an expansion team in 1966. The team made its first Super Bowl appearance following the 1971 season in Super Bowl VI. In 1972, the Dolphins completed the NFL's first and only perfect season culminating in a Super Bowl win, winning all 14 regular season games, two playoff games and Super Bowl VII. The team also won Super Bowl VIII, becoming the first team to appear in three consecutive Super Bowls, and the second team (first AFL/AFC team) to win back-to-back championships. Dolphins uniforms The Dolphins logo and uniforms have remained essentially the same since the team's founding. The team's colors are aqua and orange; navy was added as a trim color in 1997. The logo consists of a flaming hoop (or, sunburst) with a leaping dolphin wearing a football helmet bearing the letter M. At their debut in 1966, the dolphin's head was near the center of the sunburst. By 1974, the dolphin's body was centered on the sunburst. The most substantial revision took place in 1997: the sunburst was simplified and the dolphin was darkened and given a more serious game-face expression. The uniform features white helmets with either white or aqua jerseys and either white or aqua pants. The pants are composed of a high grade cotton/lycra polymer. The most substantial revisions took place in 1997. Navy was introduced as a trim color. The logo was reworked to make the dolphin appear proportionally larger and more three-dimensional in effect. The hashmarks around the perimeters of the logo's sunburst were removed.Navy drop shadows were added to the uniform numbers. The new road uniform featured aqua rather than white pants. The Dolphins made a cameo appearance in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. For much of their history the Dolphins have worn their white jerseys at home for daytime games, thus forcing their opponents to suffer in their darker jerseys in the humid weather that is typical of South Florida for most of the year. The aqua home jerseys are typically worn for night games. The Dolphins began this tradition during the perfect season of 1972 and have continued it ever since. Aqua jerseys also are sometimes worn for road games against the other two teams known for wearing white home jerseys — the San Diego Chargers and Dallas Cowboys, or other teams who choose to wear white at home in the early season. Miami and Dallas are the only NFL teams that wear white home jerseys throughout the season. Washington only wears white for the first half of the season. In 2003 the Dolphins introduced an alternate orange jersey worn once each season for home night contests in 2003 and 2004. They recorded wins both times, against Washington in 2003 and New England in 2004. The alternate jersey was worn again on Monday Night Football against the New York Jets on October 12, 2009. The Dolphins also won this game, 31-27. In 2005 and 2006 the Dolphins wore white pants with the white jerseys, recalling the solid-white look worn in Super Bowl VII by the undefeated 1972 team. From 2000 through 2004 the Dolphins usually wore all-white at home and aqua pants with white jerseys on the road under former coach Dave Wannstedt (2000–2004) and interim coach Jim Bates (2004). This trend continued in 2007 under head coach Cam Cameron. However, in a pre-season game on August 16, 2008 at Jacksonville, the Dolphins did wear the white jersey/aqua pants road combination made popular in the 1990s/2000s. The aqua pants were once again worn on September 14, 2008 against the Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the season's away games when other teams were wearing their color jerseys. On three occasions the Dolphins have worn an all-aqua combination for prime-time games: a win over the Chicago Bears in 2002, a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2003, and a win over the Cleveland Browns in 2004. For 2008 the navy blue drop shadow on the uniform numbers were thinned in order to make them easier to read.
