The Internet Had Nothing Nice to Say About the Miami Dolphins’ Bright Orange Uniforms
The Miami Dolphins lost to the Cincinnati Bengals 22-7 in Thursday’s NFL matchup, but that may not have been their biggest embarrassment of the night.
After the team took the field at Paul Brown stadium, viewers almost immediately began to mock their uniforms, poking fun at the bright orange hue on Twitter. The jerseys were part of the NFL’s Thursday Night Football “Color Rush,” an initiative showcasing colors that are meant to pop on screen.
Some compared the uniforms to unattractive food items, including creamsicles and buffalo wings:

I actually love these Bengals uniforms. The Dolphins, on the other hand, look like a bunch of creamsicles pic.twitter.com/43fcbKZeJp
