Nice clean look of the 1966 Dolphin two-bar helmet. Miami scored it's first American Football League victory over the Denver Broncos.

The Miami Dolphins were the American Football League's only true "expansion team." (The Cincinnati Bengals were added as part of the merger agreement in 1966). Anyway, their logo was a Dolphin jumping thru a hoop. Majority owner Joe Robbie changed the design in 1967.
