The new logo, for the first time, features a Dolphin whose tail is pointed upwards jumping through the sunburst rather than down, as it happened in the previous logo. This is the fourth time the logo has been changed, the first since 1997. While the old logo changes featured a progressively more mean-looking Dolphin and increasingly bolder colors, the new Dolphins brass felt it necessary to make the Dolphin less mean and go back to more of the original aqua and orange.
I personally disliked the last logo, so I can't find too much room to complain; however, I will anyway. While I like the new color scheme and, well, never mind, that's about it. The fact that the new Dolphin looks alarmingly like a Nike swoosh and no longer wears an "M" helmet frankly pisses me off. What makes Steve Ross and his band of clowns think that they can emasculate my Dolphin? Huh? The only thing that fits here is that the Dolphin no longer looks like a cartoon that would appear on Nickelodeon.
This is apparently the sleeve of the new jerseys. This is DE Jared Odrick sporting Dolphins gear with the new logo. And this is Dan Marino approving of the new look:
Saw the new @miamidolphins logo. Followed the development stage & now its great to see the finished product. #NewEraNewLook #13ApprovedAt least there's that.

In other Fins news, the team signed former Chicago Bears guard Lance Louis, apparently to be, or at least compete for, the new RG. This guy just came off of knee surgery.
God I hate this team. Now back to the Heat game.
