In 2013, the Miami Dolphins ushered in a new era, redesigning their iconic logo and uniforms to a modern, refreshed look. The change brought about mixed reviews, with some fans upset at the color scheme and lack of a helmet on the dolphin in the new logo.
But, things might be changing—again.

According to Zach Cohen on X, who correctly predicted the 2026 uniform and logo changes made by the Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Falcons, and Baltimore Ravens, the Dolphins might be the latest team to refresh their uniforms in 2027. Per Cohen, Fanatics (the official manufacturer of the NFL) announced yesterday that they would be bringing back stitched jerseys across the entire NFL. However, two teams were left out of the initial jersey release—the New Orleans Saints and the Miami Dolphins.
Regarding any new uniforms, Cohen states that teams must let manufacturers know ahead of time to get the proper materials and to prepare the new designs. Retailers are typically notified “as early as a year out”, in order to ensure that they aren’t left with a pile of outdated, unsold jerseys the following season. As such, if the Dolphins wanted to design new uniforms in 2027, now would be the time to to let Fanatics know—hence, no released “stitched” jerseys.
Of course, it’s entirely possible that this is an oversight, and Fanatics simply forgot to release the jerseys for the Dolphins, as well as the Saints. But on the other hand, there has been a good amount of smoke regarding Miami’s likelihood of a uniform refresh. Before the start of the 2025 season, there was reported external and internal interest in a “NFL Rivalries” jersey for the Dolphins. These were soon released, much to the delight of fans.

So, is this a continuation of those rumors, and will they materialize like before? Only time will tell.
It’s worth noting that the NFL has a rule that teams must wait five years before completely changing their primary home and away uniforms, unless granted a special exception for relocation or ownership changes. However, the Dolphins last underwent a major refresh in 2013 (before a slight tweak in 2018), meaning they are free to undergo another uniform redesign, if so desired.
