Dan Marino wore number 13 for the Miami Dolphins for seventeen seasons, from his rookie year in 1983 until he retired in 1999, and the records he set in that uniform still define what a Miami quarterback is supposed to look like. A Dan Marino jersey in our range is a stitched Miami build: the olive 2017 Salute to Service Limited jersey, the black 2016 Salute to Service build, a white road jersey in the retired-number treatment, and three Vapor Untouchable Limited colourways in team green, orange and aqua. Every one of them is priced at $69.95 and every one is available in men's, women's and youth cuts. This guide explains which version matches which era, how the Salute to Service and Vapor styles differ, and how to size and care for a stitched number 13.
Dan Marino's career in Miami
The Dolphins drafted Marino in the first round in 1983, 27th overall, out of Pittsburgh, and he was starting games by the middle of his rookie season. What followed was one of the most productive passing careers in NFL history, played start to finish in a single uniform, which is unusual now and was already unusual then.
His 1984 season is the one that made the number 13 famous. Marino threw for 5,084 passing yards, the first 5,000-yard season by a quarterback in league history, and 48 touchdown passes, a single-season record that stood for two decades. He was named NFL Most Valuable Player for that season and led Miami to Super Bowl XIX, which the Dolphins lost to the San Francisco 49ers.
Marino retired after the 1999 season with 61,361 passing yards and 420 touchdown passes, both NFL records at the time, plus nine Pro Bowl selections. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005, and the Dolphins retired his number 13, which is why one of the white jerseys in our range is sold as a retired-number road jersey rather than a current-season cut.
Should you buy a Dan Marino jersey?
Yes, a Dan Marino jersey is worth buying if you want a Miami Dolphins jersey that will never go out of date. Marino wore number 13 for the Miami Dolphins for seventeen seasons, from 1983 until he retired in 1999, and he is still the reference point for the position in Miami: NFL Most Valuable Player in 1984, 5,084 passing yards and 48 touchdown passes that season, 61,361 yards and 420 touchdowns across his career, nine Pro Bowl selections, a retired number 13 and a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame since 2005. Every Dan Marino style at Vikings Warehouse is $69.95, covering the olive 2017 Salute to Service Limited jersey, the black 2016 Salute to Service build, the white retired-number jersey and the green, orange and aqua Vapor Untouchable Limited colourways, in men's, women's and youth sizing. Buy the era you remember rather than the newest drop.
One practical note: the six listings are priced identically, so the decision is about colourway, era and patch treatment rather than budget. If you want the jersey that looks most like the one he actually wore on Sundays, the older 2016 and 2017 builds are the closest matches in the range.
Every Dan Marino jersey we sell
Six Dan Marino jerseys are listed in the store, and all six are stitched builds at $69.95. The olive 2017 Salute to Service Limited jersey and the black anthracite 2016 Salute to Service Limited jersey are the military-appreciation designs, and they are the two that read as collectibles rather than every-week shirts. The white road jersey uses the retired-number treatment and the Nike Game cut, which is the lightest of the group. The green, orange and aqua Vapor Untouchable Limited jerseys are the modern team-colour trio and the three most people end up choosing between. The full Miami range, including current players, sits in the Miami Dolphins jersey collection.

Size, fit and care for the Miami number 13 jersey
Every Dan Marino jersey we list is available in men's, women's and youth cuts, with sizes running from XS to 4XL, and the price is flat at $69.95 regardless of type or size. The men's cut is a regular football jersey shape with room through the chest and shoulders, so your normal t-shirt size layers cleanly over a t-shirt and one size up gives you room for a hoodie underneath. Youth sizing is a separate run of variants, so check the size chart on the product page before ordering for a child.
Wash a stitched jersey inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, then hang it to dry on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape. Skip bleach and fabric softener, because both break down the fabric and dull stitched numbers and nameplates over time. If the jersey needs pressing, use low heat with a cloth between the iron and the stitching instead of pressing directly onto the numbers or the Salute to Service patches.
Styling a Dan Marino jersey
Aqua and orange are loud enough on their own, so keep the rest of the outfit plain. The aqua and green jerseys look best with dark denim, black jeans or grey joggers and simple white or black trainers. The white retired-number jersey is the most versatile of the six because it works with almost any trouser colour, and the two Salute to Service builds are dark enough to wear with olive or charcoal. Rolled-up sleeves with a plain tee and a cap keeps the look closer to the stadium and further from fancy dress.
Start with the Miami Dolphins jersey collection to see the full range in one place, and if you are comparing quarterbacks across the league before you decide, the rest of the team-by-team breakdowns sit in our NFL jersey guides. A retired number in a settled design is the safest jersey purchase in football, because nothing about it is going to change next season.
