After months of speculation from Miami Dolphins fans (and an extensive fan-drawn new-look uniform contest from ESPN), the new logo for one of the NFL’s worst teams for the last decade has been inadvertently unveiled and—shocker—it doesn’t have the dolphin wearing a football helmet. The logo was leaked last week on NFL.com and was confirmed Wednesday by Dolphins CEO Mike Dee. 

Speaking at a stadium renovation conference, Dee confirmed that the logo was leaked by someone at Nike, however he said "the logo is only one part of the announcement. It’s a complete re-branding of the team," the Sun Sentinel reports. Dee noted that the uniform design will be reflective of the team's origical aqua and orange color scheme.Continue reading...

The Miami Dolphins finished out the NFL season with a disappointing 7-9 record, but that hasn’t stopped fans of the team from getting very excited about one aspect of the team: its logo.

The rumor mill is buzzing that the Dolphins are busy redesigning the logo that has been around in one form or another since the team joined the NFL in 1966. Since then, the team has donned helmets that feature a dolphin wearing a helmet with an M on the side jumping in front of a fiery sun. 

It isn’t clear what is coming next but Dolphins CEO Mike Dee is happy to have his team getting some attention. On Dec. 24, he tweeted, “I hear all the logo buzz out there...I'll provide an update soon! Happy holidays to all. Be safe!” But Dee’s definition of “soon” probably doesn’t equate to a lot of the team’s fans. Two days later, he tweeted, “Lots of buzz re logos. Love the passion! We continue to explore a # of design alternatives...final decision by Draft. Happy holidays!” NFL execs won’t be walking the stage at Radio City Music Hall and naming their draft choices till April 25. 

So hurry up and wait, Dolphin fans. Until then, snap up whatever old Dolphin merchandise you can and speculate all you want.Continue reading...

Those watching ESPN's Monday Night Football this week may have wondered what was going on when, just before the game, a truck commercial came on... in Spanish. There were no subtitles. President Obama then addressed viewers to honor contributions of Hispanic football players. That it's Hispanic Heritage Month isn’t the whole story.

One of the teams playing, the Miami Dolphins, is positioning itself to better appeal to Hispanic Americans. Before the game, Marc Anthony (Marco Antonio Muñiz), a singing superstar of Puerto Rican heritage, sang the Star Spangled Banner. During the game, cameras caught Anthony's wife, Jenifer Lopez, cheering. The two have become minority owners of the team. Later in the game, Gloria Estefan, the godmother of US-based Latin pop music, was featured signing autographs on the sidelines.

A 2009 Harris Interactive poll found 51% of US Hispanics said they follow pro football, and NFL teams in states with large Latino populations are vying for their fanship.Continue reading...
