Are these the new Dolphins and Jags logos?

The Dolphins have announced that they'll finally unveil their new logo and uniforms on April 18. The Jaguars, who already revealed their new logo in early February, are expected to unveil new uniforms in April as well.


But as we all know, the internet doesn't like to wait and doesn't care about carefully calibrated marketing schedules.

Translation: There's a new leak of the new Dolphins logo, and the first leak (so far) of the new Jags jersey. They were tweeted overnight by a Twitter user named Corey Mitchko (@C_Mitchko), who said he found them while looking through the photos of an Instagram user named sneaker_pimp_simmons. The images are now rocketing through the uni-verse and the larger sports world.

Neither team has yet confirmed the images' legitimacy, but there will be increasing pressure for them to issue some sort of statement as these photos continue to circulate. What do you think of them?

I think that's the new uniform for the Jags. Saw it on twitter last night. I'm not a fan of the new logo, was really hoping they'd phase out the 1994 teal. But yet there's more than ever and the Jaguar looks like a thunder cat.

That's definitely the new Jaguars logo and I would guess new jersey.

But here's another leaked logo for Miami:



This is the full logo Dustin Keller posted:



I will say this as a person who does logos and branding for a living. If I were a betting man, I'd say the top logo could be the new primary logo, assuming Nike is doing the design. It's much more consistent with the existing brand and consistent with the subtle modifications Nike does to logos without completely changing them. The average person would probably look at that logo and not even realize it was different.

The other variation could be a secondary logo, but I doubt it. Looking very closely at the detail, this does not look like something Nike would design at all and looks much more 2 dimensional than most Nike designs.

Jags are adopting the Ravens' color scheme?

I think we went frm a cool, stylized feline to a cartoon. Like the "JAGS" tho. Primary color black. Now teal is our throw-back jersey...smh.

I design logos and corporate IDs...These things dont generally just pop up on instagram. Either it was an intentional leak for marketing purposes, or they are a hoax. My guess is the latter.

As a phins fan...and a jax native, Im excited to see what they look like.

Jags logo has already been officially released. Still waiting on the unis though which come on draft day I believe.

Let me be the first to say. I hope to hell they don't change the Dolphin logo. It is a classic.

That depends. It's a little bit different than the corporate logos you and I work with.

With Nike (and other apparel), they typically announce the logos and have merchandise in the stores immediately. The logos are out there, though probably mostly overseas in factories where it's easier to hide them. But somebody might be paying factory workers to take photos.

It's maybe a little early with the announcements not being made for a month, but if Nike is working on several new uniform designs, the lead times might be longer.

But this isn't the first time Nike has had stuff leaked. Several of the Nike Pro Combat uniforms were leaked once the schools started to receive them.

I have a feeling the Jaguars jersey might be legit or a least an actual Nike prototype. It could be that Nike put together several prototype designs.

I should note that the larger image of the "new" Dolphins logo is not exactly what's on the photos. The one in the photo looks much more finished.

Yep. I took a tour of the new jags locker room recently and the new equipment manager happened to be there. He said the new uniforms will be revealed with our #1 pick.

I like how the Jags jersey has included an extra-absorbent area next to the collar to better absorb the players' tears.

I like it - "Gettin Jaggy with it!" would intimidate opponents as well

[Sylez_G_Koolaid]

Gold helmets? Wat? lol

[JohnC1908]

I like the Dolphin and Jags unis.

[channingcrowderhungry]

I'm not crazy about the jags helmets, but they might grow on me. I like the unis though.
