pflava Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I love the Vikings new metallic helmets. They look fantastic, and as someone said, they match the jersey color now. It used to bother me that they didn't.Whomever is responsible for getting the helmet and jersey colors straight for the Vikings needs to get on a plane to Salt Lake City...

B-Rich Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Most "purples" on team uniforms look too "blue" for my taste, mostly on TV.Examples include the Vikings jerseys and most notably, the Lakers away unis.That 'metallic' purple helps a bit. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I'm a fan of the Tarkenton era "grape kool aid" purple the Vikes used to use. The metallic purple and corresponding shade used for the present uniforms is just a tad too light for my tastes, especially in the harsh indoor lighting of the Metrodome.

Interesting comparison, since the Lakers and the Vikings use the same Pantone Textile colors for their uniforms:19-3737 TC - "Heliotrope" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Vikings purple has always been more of a blueish purple, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickV Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Vikings purple has always been more of a blueish purple, anyway. That shade of purple certainly looks more bluish on TV anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 The Vikings' Purple has changed at least twice according to my research. Assuming that the color remained relatively close to the same from 1961 through 1996 (the NFL didn't start using Pantones until 1980 or so), here's what I have:1961 through 1996:MINNESOTA VIKINGS PURPLE1997 through 2001:MINNESOTA VIKINGS PURPLE2002 through present:MINNESOTA VIKINGS PURPLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickV Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Perhaps here in this photo you can see how much larger the Vikings horn on the helmet USED to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshawaggie Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 the metrodome lights make the purple look blue. When they play an outdoor stadium team that wears white at home, the purple jereseys look soo much better. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyon81 Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I like the metallic purple....I just think that the logo looks too flat or something now....You could say, its because of the metallic purple, or maybe you could say its because of the large white horn. I would keep the metallic, and figure out a way to fix the flat horn...if possible... Play RBI Baseball 2K9 @ http://league.rbicentral.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Jim Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 RickV, that horn is definitely smaller, but apparently just as long. BrewCity, I had never thought about that, but you're right. That horn was developed before they had the ability to do 3D stuff, but I'm sure that they could now develop more of a 3D-looking horn without destroying the old concept. Maybe add some shadowing or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
