nbitterman Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Just a little update to what I think is already a solid uniform set. Following the modern throwback trend and added a slick design element to the stripes of the sleeves, which I envision being some sort of subtle, shiny material that stands out but doesn't take over. Love to hear thoughts! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMDNorse92 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 As a Vikings fan, I love it has the modern look of the old throwbacks they used to wear on occasion. (Which I hope they bring back next year since the NFL is doing away with the one shell helmet rule) Also, I'm glad you cleaned up the Viking longship on the numbers, at first I loved it, now its a little gimmicky and dated. Great job!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilSox Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 The Vikings could use their modern numbers for as long as they wanted if they dropped the weird serifs. This is a good update. Though I think you should try putting shoulder stripes on the road whites. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtgco Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I always like to see a little tasteful bit of pattern usage on football jerseys; you've got a nice one! I'd definitely add that nice knot pattern to the pant stripe. I'm also curious if it could be incorporated somehow on the numbers like the Seahawks do (perhaps it'd be to better effect on a simple number font like the one you used...) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaytavo305 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Love it, but I agree that the current number font without the serifs is exactly what this needs to be perfect. I might also add a white set of socks with stripes that match the sleeves of the road whites, in order to enable the Vikes to wear purple pants on the road without going with the leotard look. I love the current purple pants but I think it looks awful with the purple socks, as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbitterman Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Thanks for the replies! I've made a couple of adjustments based on some of your ideas. Updated the "knot pattern" on the sleeves to 1 larger strand instead of 2 on top of each other Added the knot pattern to the stripes on the side of the pants Added stripes to the socks to match the sleeves and pants Once again, let me know what you think and keep the creative juices flowing! 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggityBerfa Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 looks amazing, really like what you did here. i’m not a huge fan of the modern vikings jerseys, especially the numbers with the weird serifs. i do, however, really like the modern helmets with the black face masks and i would hope they would stay. also would love to see a black rendition of these.

nbitterman Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Played around with a black version. No changes in the design, but I might also see what an all black version looks like with black pants. Stay tuned and keep the ideas coming! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Drop the black (too Ravens) and weave in silver instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbitterman Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Second version of a black set. Added black pants and some white to the stripes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbitterman Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 Updates include the following: Used a darker shade of purple, closer to the color used in the 70s Modified the current horn logo to remove the black outline Updated face mask from black to gray Added "SKOL" word mark to the inside of the collar 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilSox Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'd still love to see what you could do with UCLA style stripes on the road jerseys, but this is really starting to pan out. But I have to agree to "no" on black. The Vikings have 30+ years more history than the Ravens. Stepping on their toes wouldn't be a good look. Besides, BFBS isn't really a NFC North thing. Even the Lions got rid of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggityBerfa Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 might be a crazy idea, but mabye gold/yellow alternate pants jersey like the chargers have? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbitterman Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Been awhile since I've posted anything on this topic, but I got back to playing around with some things. I wanted to see what the 2023 classic uniform could look like as a modernized full time uniform with a matching white version. So I upgraded my template to the new Nike Vapor Fusion template and went at it. I also wanted to see what it could look like if the team finally decided to implement a white helmet, especially now that they seem to be heading the direction of doing a winter white out on an annual basis. White helmets can be challenging, especially with a white horn, so I came up with something that isn't too elaborate that I believe the team would legitimately consider if they ever went this route. And since I'm taking the black shadow and outline away from the horn on the helmet, as well as the black face mask, I figured I'd also give my take on an alternate jersey. I chose the safe route (for now) and gave what I think is a small, but much needed upgrade to their primetime purple uniforms by using a darker shade of gold as the number outline and also providing the same color scheme to the horn on the helmet. As always, let me know what you think and what YOU would like to see the Vikings do with their uniforms! Some ideas that I have in my head are a classic set, which will be challenging given the fact that this set is based on a classic look, and a gold set. I promise I'll stay away from black lol.

Ted Cunningham Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I learned something new: the Vikings played without sleeve stripes on their purple jerseys for the majority of the times they wore them in 1973. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 The Vikings' current set is my favorite they've ever worn, and I hope they never change, so I may be a bit biased against this, but everything still looks really nice. I think the highlight for me is the "Primetime Purple" you just posted, as the idea to include a more "mustard" gold is a truly inspired way to keep it consistent with your main set in using outlines. My two main objections are the black-out and white-out sets: I don't consider myself an uber-traditionalist who always objects to such things, but I'm not sure either combo works for the Vikings, at least in their current forms. I'm not sure the Vikings could make any black alt work, and the purple horn on the white helmet just feels wrong to me. My personal solution for a "Winter Whiteout" would probably be either settling for the white horn with a purple outline or putting the Viking head logo on the helmet for the first time ever. Overall though, your designs are really well-made, and you seem to clearly have a passion for the Vikings, which I share. I'd love to see more future designs from you, either for the Vikings or other teams! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I think the black uniforms are fun to play with, I agree that it doesn't feel very "Vikings". To me, the black facemask and the black outline around the horn don't really fit with the current set. But I'm with you that the current set is the best design they've had thus far. The whiteout version to me works for a special event game like they've been doing on christmas eve the past two seasons, but shouldn't be worn more than that. You're way ahead of me on the horn! I'll be trying out a white horn with purple outline on the white helmet next, while seeing what a white facemask could look like. Stay tuned! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
