Miami Dolphins logo

They are thinking about changing the helmet logo:



Dave Dameshek pointed out on the Adam Carolla podcast today that the dolphin on the Dolphins helmet is not wearing a Dolphins helmet. He is wearing the helmet of some mystical team whose logo is a big M.

If he was wearing a Dolphins helmet, he would be the dolphin on his own helmet.

And that dolphin would also be wearing a Dolphins helmet with him on it. And so on out to infinity.

Did they think it was important, when they designed the logo, to avoid recursion?

Yes, some mystical team from Miami. But not the Dolphins.

Now it could be a nautilus attacking a dolphin over a bottle cap.
Take care, Glatt. Miller beer could have something to say about infringement, etc.

Many of the NFL teams are going to be updating their looks soon, with the new Nike contract.

The Cowboys probably won't change much at all, so whogivesashitanyway
