    What's awesome about this is it looks like he isn't even concerned with the game, and is just coming at you to collect on a debt. And his little brother on the cap thinks it's hilarious. And those absolutely need to be the team's game socks.

    Matte batting helmets work for me because they do a better job of mimicking the field caps. Wool caps aren't shiny, so why should batting helmets (a safety replacement of the cap) be shiny?

    Reworking a Bronco project I've posted before. This one is similar, but slightly different striping, plus a new color rush and new throwback; Thoughts appreciated...

    Wait... there has only been seven teams redesigned since the Nike takeover... Seattle Minnesota Jacksonville Miami Tampa Bay Cleveland Detroit So if you've got them at four, that's exactly in the middle, with three teams better and three teams worse. But they're still "great"? How does that math work? Or are all the Nike redesigns great to you?

    New Flames... going for a vintage look while still playing around with the double-red idea...
  7. oldschoolvikings
    Another shot at the Senators. Still trying to add some gold to differentiate them from all the other red/black NHL teams.

    I started this thread with a Tampa Bay Lightning concept. I still like it, but it might be a bit traditional to some, so here's another...
  9. oldschoolvikings
    Yeah, I was counting the spaces to get to nine... at that size the spaces would be basically indistinguishable from any other stripe. I don't think you can treat the top stripes as a traditional vertical stripe... you'd be using vertical and horizontal stripes together at such a close space (on the current tiny sleeve caps) that everything would butt together at strange angles.
  10. oldschoolvikings
    Definitely true, but it would be undeniably crowded. We're talking about nine separate stripes in the space of a modern sleeve cap.
  11. oldschoolvikings
    That particular sleeve design started out so oversized it had to be reduced years ago... well before the tiny sleeves of the 2000's. When it first appeared in 1974, it was this bit of craziness; That's stripe overload (even for me). After a few years the bottom white/gray/white was dropped; It would seem a shame to me to dismantle it any further.
  12. oldschoolvikings
    Yeah, I love the idea of updating that throwback, too. My only issue with your sleeve suggestion is that it would leave them with what's basically a recolored Chiefs' jersey. Not that there's much wrong with that, the Chiefs' jersey is pretty damn nice, but if keeping the white stripe saves some of the flavor of that 70's Jaworski uniform, I'm interested in leaving it. How about this; Updating the 70's look by... streamlining the pants stripe, updating the font, and splitting the difference between the old helmet wing and the new. Like so...

    I was just looking at the way the top of the logo curves, which I'd never noticed before. This odd idea popped to mind. I also did a version without the chest stripes and it was workable but I wanted to get a reaction from this.

    Yeah, I was being facetious. If you want to count ancient history...

    Home and road primaries remain relatively untouched. You could argue that I'm a homer (I am), but I think the Vikings current uniform is top 5 in the League. Most of the small details that bugged me at introduction, I've either stopped thinking about, or come to really appreciate. The only element of the current uniform I just can't lice with is the road sock situation. So I'm adding a second pair of socks and a second pair of white pants, so on the occasions when they'd want to wear all white (which I'd like to see a couple of times a year) the jersey and pants stripes link up. Other than that, I'm adding a color rush uniform that's a homage to the accidental color rush uniform from 1964. Here you go...
  18. oldschoolvikings
    OK... I've seen this once, I never need to see it again... Awful. Especially bad when you could make an argument that the Vikings are the NFL's original "Color Rush" team from way back in the 60's... If you don't know the story; "1964 was also the only season that the Vikings wore white jerseys at home games. This led to confusion when the Detroit Lions came to Bloomington with only their white jerseys. The game started with both teams wearing white jerseys. The Vikings retrieved their purple jerseys from Midway Stadium in Saint Paul. The Vikings changed from white jerseys to purple jerseys on the sidelines. That led to the Vikings wearing all-purple uniforms." Anyway, with that in mind, I'm posting a slightly updated Vikings uniform below...
  19. oldschoolvikings
    Ok, I gotta say, that IS a sharp color scheme.
  20. oldschoolvikings
    I know the kelly green doesn't look as "forest-y", but I'm pretty sure a team wearing dark green and gold wouldn't go over too well in Viking country. As for the logo... I like your idea. I tried to add a bit of a tree element, but it didn't look like I thought it would, so I gave up. Maybe I should try again. Tried white, but it looked unfinished and empty. Thank you! And thanks to all of you for the feedback... it's very appreciated.

    A few pages back I posted this basic uniform for the now non-existent Minnesota Northstars. But, since the Dallas Stars are no longer using gold in any form...
  22. oldschoolvikings
    I agree with that as far as how it works on the current uniform, but on a throwback-inspired look, a single white outline on the logo would nicely reference the numbers and the sleeve stripes.
  23. oldschoolvikings
    You know, you're right... the triple outline stands out a bit on this. I just did a lazy cut and paste for the logo... now that you've pointed it out, it's gonna bug me. I may have to fix it.
  24. oldschoolvikings
    New Saints, based (obviously) on the awesome color rush uniform. (First time I've ever typed the words "awesome" and "color rush" in the same sentence.)
  25. oldschoolvikings
    Stealing an old idea from myself...
