• According to Doug Thompson (Dolphin Doug), there was a lot of inconsistency with the Dolphin logo in the 60's and early 70's. In 1967-68 some players wore the "classic logo" helmet.
• Also, in 1973, both the "dolphin inside the sun" and the classic logo were used. This continued for a few years until about 1976, when the "classic logo" was used exclusively until 1996.
• Also, there were several versions of the "classic logo": large dophin, smaller dolphin, dark green, aqua etc. These were not intentinal changes, just manufacturing variability.
