Joshawaggie Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Well, the past few years the Vikes have been slowly phazing in the old wordmark they originally had, instead of the crappy Stencil font they had, which i have always hated, the original wordmark was 300x better. And, in addition, last night was their first game on the new turf, so they made some design changes on the field.This is the "new" script in the endzone, except they are outlined in gold, i couldnt find a pic of that, and in the center in just the "V". No paint in the endzones either. It looks good IMO.I was at the game last night, I forgot my camera and I cant find any pics showing the field, but you can all use your imagination.

wheateater Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Good! I love this wordmark tons more than the old one, which looked like something a third-grader would do in his art class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyfan36 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 i think its not only a good-looking design but its less of an eyesore - the old one you could hardly read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 finally. its about time they moved away from the pakers wana-be script. im supprised minosotians have allowed it to go on as long as they have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Well, I guess I'll agree with everyone.The old stencil reminded me of the Steelers. The wordmark they are bringing back is unique.Good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klasticono Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 They might not have painted the endzones yet because the Twins' season isn't over. When I lived there, I noticed they never finished the football field design until the end of baseball season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 If the V is in the center, I don't think I like that...why not the Viking head? However, this script is WAY better than the stencil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I'm guessing that for now they're going simple with the field decorations, since they're sharing the field with the Twins for at least another month or so, and it's still preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Yep, looking at the website it seems they've more or less abandoned the stencil wordmark. That's a good thing.Hope you're right and the midfield "V" is temporary - that wouldn't be a change for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sec19Row53 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Good change!I thought the disadvantage of field turf was that it was difficult to paint, so a mid-field logo would need to be sewn into the field, not painted on.Or am I wrong on that one?

sj32 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 The Vikings used the "V" at midfield for several years when they were still at Metropolitan Stadium. If they are going with the retro script, they might as well go retro with the midfield design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
