An aqua and marine-blue dolphin swimming in front of a coral sunburst; shade of coral (orange) was adjusted following the 2017 season, almost matching the orange shade from the 1997 logo. This adjustment was done in correlation to the team tweaking their uniforms, with the noticeable difference being the removal of dark blue from everything but the logo.
