Germanshepherd Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’d legitimately prefer white over purple vs. all-black i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Good grief... A chance to wear your home uniform in someone else's building, and this is what you do? Disappointing. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerLurker Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 When I feel indifferent about a matchup I generally root for the better dressed team. Can both teams just lose this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Mercy. What prompted the Saints to go with the all white(pajama bottoms) at home this week. Did they think they would get a waiver from the league to wear the throw back uniforms and when the league said no why not wear the black or gold pants with the white tops. Who's dressing the Saints these days? Ken? (Barbie's BF?) Worst look in the league. Way worse than the Titan's Navy or Jets all Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPECIALLY if they also wear purple socks.. The Vikings should at least do what the Bills did in Dallas on Thanksgiving Day, wear white socks with the mono-look, but then again they should always have a set of white socks when wearing the purple pants just as they had in their expansion years of the early 60's.

4_tattoos Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Maybe New Orleans will shock the world (well more so just this forum) and wear black socks instead of white on Sunday *shrug* Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DouglasQuaid Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 While we're on it can the vikings just go full retro and change to these beauties (or at lease an alternate please). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perfect world those would make for a great throwback but they'd have to move the TV numbers to the shoulders in order to retain the northwestern stripes on the shorter sleeves of this era which go nicely with those socks, great match. but one big problem ... the one-helmet rule. The current matte helmet with the new 2019 shade of purple would not come even remotely close to matching that early 60s purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only did Mono-Purple in 2013 to show it off hey case it was new... They will never wear Purple-on-Purple again, right? Paging @oldschoolvikings @DouglasQuaid. Alert, alert! It might be like that 1964 game how the Vikings thought they would wear white, and they brought purple pants, but the other team ended up wearing white instead, causing them to go mono purple.

Bruhammydude Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I am genuinely going to be interested for this game for two reasons I live in Minnesota, the Vikings are my second favorite team Purple is my second favorite color, it's one of the few monochrome uniforms I can live with.

Actually, for that game, the Vikings were the ones wearing White at Home. The Lions didn’t know that, and during halftime, the Equipment Manager had to go get the Purple Jerseys. They didn’t get White Pants, which caused the Monochrome. At least we had White Socks on. Afterwards, Coach Norm Van Brocklin hated the look of Purple on Purple, and the Vikings killed Purple Pants after that season, not wearing Purple Pants until the 2000s when Reebok came along.

Maybe the Texans followed the Saints footsteps and wanted to wear color rush because they are undefeated in those but couldn't get a waiver so they are doing the closest thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroznYogurt Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 The current monochrome obsession in the NFL is so frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gothedistance Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 How do the Jaguars get to wear their alternate teal 5 times? 3 in the RS and 2 in the PS. The Ravens and Seahawks allowed to wear alternates 4 times? But the same can't be done for other teams? Did the NFL start brushing up on the rule they have?
