So I think we can put to bed any idea that the NFL's "rules" will prevent teams from doing whatever they want. There's lots of discussion on this board about how some of us grumpy old traditionalists over react and the NFL's rules won't allow things to go too far. So... offically, and for the record... everyone can stop with that bullspit. The "rules" only exist until a team decides to do what they want. That's the truth. It's the wild west. Since silver is an accident color it doesn't break any rules. If the Vikings tried to use a silver helmet or jersey they most likely wouldn't be allowed. As much as I dislike the Icy White Vikings and H-Town alternates. There's nothing illegal about them. Now if the NFL said that no off-brand colors could be used at all. You might have an argument. My biggest complaint isn't with the rules, but with the fact that both teams added a new color that is primarily used by a division rival. This would be like the Chargers adding silver, Bengals adding purple, Colts adding red, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorinator Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 What's up with the helmet stripe? Seriously thought they were the Raiders at first glance. Not a fan at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I don't know why they felt they needed that silver stripes down the middle when they have the oversized horns still? It reminds me a little of the St. Louis Battlehawks, but at least with that helmet it makes more sense since it represents the Arch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostOfNormMacdonald Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 The horn isn't the worst. If this was a new franchise, whatever. But we are 65 :censored:ing years old, and you want to tack this onto what has been a great look? I hate Nike and the modern NFL 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Timmy and Sally and Billy from Twitter want an all-white uniform, the team will eventually listen to them. Sickening. To be fair, I think Timmy and Sally have some pretty good ideas. Billy, though ... ooof. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCreep Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 It's just another uniform that further cements my problem with this "minimalistic" era of NFL (and sports in general) uniforms. It's boring. It doesn't stand out. I'm gonna put the game on and it'll take me a long time before I realize "oh it's the Vikings". It's a white uniform that hides almost everything that makes the Vikings brand stand out. Why would I wanna wear this? Why would anyone wanna wear this? No one will know "oh it's the Vikings". I may as well wear a regular white t-shirt. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 All they had to do was get a white helmet and wear it with the regular all white uniform. This is just idiotic. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league probably views silver/gray as the same thing. OR... The Vikings are going to introduce new uniforms either next year or the year after with silver due to the success of how people liked the throwback. "They like the gray facemask?

ZapRowsdower8 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Everybody accusing kids on Twitter for this need to realize that 13–17-year-olds only make up 2.4% of users. It's your run-of-the-mill 25–34-year-old moron that's truly to blame. Purple and silver is a great combo, but not like this and not for this team. The helmet is the worst part, none of that works for me. Fix the helmet, add purple socks, and throw this onto your Madden create-a-team and we may be in business. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR… It’s “allowed” because the Vikings wanted to do it and that’s pretty much all there is to it. We spend a lot of time discussing these theoretical NFL uniform rules. Has anybody ever seen an actual document outlining any of these rules? I’m seriously asking. Is it possible most of these supposed rules are hearsay that gets accepted as fact? 5 1 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spend a lot of time discussing these theoretical NFL uniform rules. Has anybody ever seen an actual document outlining any of these rules? I’m seriously asking. Is it possible most of these supposed rules are hearsay that gets accepted as fact? This isn't the main color of the uniform, so there's not a rule preventing them from adding a new trim color. That's how the Colts could add a black swoosh to their uniform. However, once they added the black swoosh, that set the stage for them to be allowed to have a black uniform, because it was a color in their team "database" so to speak. You can always add a color to your uniform. You can't make a new uniform out of color that isn't currently used or in your team's history. 1 Quote It's where I sit.
