Dolphins Unveil 'Dark Water' Rivalries Uniform on Monday Night Football

The prime-time reveal advances the NFLNike Rivalries program that schedules city-themed alternates by division with a one-time 2025 appearance per team.

Overview

  • Miami debuted the near-black pitch-blue look against the Jets at Hard Rock Stadium on Sept. 29, becoming the second team to wear a Rivalries uniform after Arizona.
  • The ‘Dark Water’ set features pitch-blue helmets, jerseys and pants with aqua numbers and orange accents, marking the first non-white helmet in Dolphins history.
  • Hard Rock Stadium’s midfield logo and both end zones were repainted in pitch blue with aqua and orange details to match the on-field look.
  • Rivalries launches this year for the AFC East and NFC West, with each participating team limited to one 2025 game before the design enters a three-year alternate rotation.
  • Players, including Tua Tagovailoa and Jordyn Brooks, praised the design, while some viewers said it read as black on TV and noted occasional number legibility issues.
