The NFL’s decision to make every mediocre Thursday Night Football game a Color Rush has its inevitable highs and lows. This Thursday night’s game is a prime example. On one side, the Cincinnati Bengals eschewed their orange and black for an elegant, white tiger look.

Thumbs up, NFL. These unis are clean, crisp, and they’re definitely among the better Color Rush unis we’ve seen.
On the other side, things aren’t as good, because the Miami Dolphins went out and dressed like a bunch of dang creamsicles.

One Citizen of the Internet decided Miami looked like the “money pins” you might find at your local lanes on cosmic bowling night.

Seeing these uniforms one at a time is rough enough. Putting them in close proximity really feels like it might do some permanent ocular damage.

Others decided to point out the similarities between the Dolphins and one of Jim Carey’s most beloved movie characters: Lloyd Christmas from Dumb & Dumber.

Even former Colts coach and current NBC Sports suit-wearer Tony Dungy wondered what the NFL was thinking when the Dolphins were assigned these hideous threads.
These Dolphin uniforms are awful. Why does the NFL want the Dolphins to look like this?

It’s called fashion, Tony. Look it up.
