Color rush? Dolphins' awful uniforms look more like Orange Crush

Like a cross between a syrupy orange soft drink and the old Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniforms of Creamsicle yore, these atrocities make the Tennessee Volunteers’ jerseys look tame. Anyone have any Delsym? We can’t help but cough.
Many of you agree. In fact, everyone seems to think they look like anything but a football outfit.
