Miami Dolphins Debut Nike Rivalries 'Dark Waters' Uniforms in 2023 Monday Night Football

The Miami Dolphins are debuting new Nike "Rivalries" uniforms called "Dark Waters" during their 2025 NFL season, particularly showcased in a Monday Night Football game against the New York Jets. These alternate uniforms feature a dark pitch-blue colorway with accents of "Turbo Green," aqua, and orange, symbolizing speed and South Florida's nightlife, marking a significant departure from their traditional aqua and orange jerseys. The "Rivalries" uniforms, part of an NFL initiative launched in 2025, celebrate divisional rivalries, with the Dolphins and Jets rivalry highlighted as especially fierce and culturally significant due to many New Yorkers living in South Florida. Only home teams will wear these alternate jerseys during intra-divisional games, and the Dolphins' new look includes details such as "Go Fins" embroidered inside the collar and Miami's 305 area code above the facemask. Coach Mike McDaniel expressed enthusiasm for the uniforms, seeing them as a way to energize the team and connect with fans amid a challenging season starting 0-3. This initiative aligns with similar projects in NBA and MLB, aiming to deepen ties between teams and their local communities.
