New Vikings Unforms *merged*

I highly doubt that anyone would describe a monochrome uniform set as "Chargers-ish". Didn't the Chargers wear all blue a total of one time (not sure about this one, but I know they weren't worn all that often)? For sure you would use the Seahawks as the comparison in this case.

I think the Chargers comparison comes in because there are gonna be shoulder stripes that have some sort of detail.

got this off a Vikings message board. Don't like it at all. Of couse it is not the real thing. It does'nt make any since , shoulder stripes don't match the pant stripes on the road concept and there is no way in hell they have yellow socks with the home uni's as well a completely different design for home and road uni's.

No! Don't change any uniform ever! I love my tradition and would never support a team that ever updated anything.

Good! Its about time, the Vikings had the worst uniform in sports. They have needed updating for 38 years, and I hope they look like space suits, reflective silver, glass helmets and all.

Hey, I found this photograph of the internal unveiling of the new unis. Sure, its a sketch in MS Paint of a re-colored Rams helmet, but I bet its real.

Where are they? What?s taking so long? After we hear a rumor, the unis should be released to us immediately, because we are privileged people!

I hate the Falcons unis, cause they scare me with their panels and colors and modern, clean lines.

I love the Falcons unis, cause they excite me with their panels and colors and modern, clean lines.

They are gonna look like the Broncos and the Chargers? So they will have electrified horse heads? Why would the Vikings change to blue and yellow and orange? I cant imagine how terrible they will look with lighting bolts across the sleeves and giant orange commas on the ribs.

I think they should have a giant Viking ship for a helmet, with real swords and axes hanging from them, like dangling in peoples faces. That should make them hard to tackle. Plus, I think they should put the horny V sublimated on the front of the jersey, huge, like, from the top to the bottom, with the horns going down the sleeves, behind the numbers. And then, down the back like a tribal tattoo, crossed axes with bloody Indian heads rolling around down the pants legs.

I love purple pants, my old high school bully bought me some at Express for Men, and took me to a club, and it?s the kind where I can kneel at a urinal and not get dirty looks.

Purple offends me and threatens my manliness to an extend that I shall cast aspersions upon all who wear anything but charcoal black, blood red, or some shade of deep blue. Those are the only manly colors and should be the only ones used anywhere.

I?m a Viking and am invading Newfoundland as we speak. I have on purple pants, so that will be perfect for the team. I am not wearing horns on my helmet, though. On MY helmet is a picture of my cousin Bludgeoning Sven and his decadent golden dreadlocks.

It is obvious they are going to look just like Toledo and UCLA with UNC and NC State mix with some Notre Dame and East Lehigh High School but more like the Georgia Force and The Austin Wranglers mixed with that Toronto concept Mings did with all the serifs, combined with that Marinerzzz thing Lamicus did (or was it Yale?) unless they go with the USC shoulders and the Harvard pants to match the 70?s Eagles helmets but with actual gold leaf for the horns, but 3d, molded on the side of the helmet in paper mache, so when the RB hits the line, they explode into paper shreds everywhere.

OK, I think that?s just about enough idiocy in this thread. Can we all settle down for a minute? They will be released before the draft. Then, some of us will bemoan the over-modernization, some will celebrate the forward thinking, others will say they didn?t go far enough, still more will say they went too far. Many will say they suck, then there will be a groundswell of ?call me crazy, but I like them.? This will soon be followed by people claiming to have already purchased a game-worn authentic, closely tailed by goofy concepts posted of ?what they should have done.? Then, some duplicate threads with the same pictures form the press conference.

That?s how this works, people.

Should be fun. I can?t wait.

A co-worker of mine (who is a Vikings fan and who I told to watch for the change) alerted me to this, too.

I figured there would be a silver shadow running along the bottom of the horn. Let's see what it looks like in color.

It's where I sit.

If this does turn out to be the helmet design, which I presume it will, I'm encouraged. It's a slight modernization, from what little eye for design I have.

I've never been one who thought the Vikes needed a wholesale major redesign. But I've long thought they were the perfect candidate for modernization, maybe on par with the Eagles.

Just got off the phone with vikings merchandise department and apperently the new jerseys will be available on April 27th.

He stated that they are darker purple and thats all he knows.

a darker shade of purple and purple pants tells me this maybe more of an update that trys to bring concepts and colors of the past with a new school flava

Payno.

Thank you. That post made my day, even if I have contributed to most of the insanity you have lampooned.

WONDERFUL post.

Hilarious.

Ok, back to the speculation.

The website has a pretty noticable de-emphasization of yellow.

I could see some silver in there. I agree, i think the chargers will merely be the numbers in a white/purple/white outline or purple/white/purple.

Darker purple...how predictable. I liked the metallic purple. But I also like the Bucco Bruce Creamsicle unis...so.

I just talked to somebody over at the Vikings pro shop. Darker purple is definitely happening and from what I got from what little the guy would tell me is that the link to the Chargers has got to do with the look of the shoulders on the home jerseys and a number change like most of you had posted. I say they add the shoulder stripe detail to the home jerseys. Where the Broncos look comes in I don't know because if they do have the same stripe detail that they have on the road for the homes then how could they possibly have a Broncos pant stripe ? April 27th!

This was posted on another list I belong to. Can't say how true it is, if at all. But at least it will be something to talk about.

Hey guys, been a member for over six years, never post just like to see you argue over issues. But this I thought you might be interested in. I have a family member that works for the Reebox Co. They called me and has seen the new jersey, heres the description,there is a darker shade of purple, ther is a six inch white stripe that runs up the side and wraps around the shouder and arm, then comes to a horn shape on the back of the jersey. The norseman is gone on the jersey, I will see it first hand next weekend and will give you better detail, oh home and away are just reverse, oh and the names are wraped in gold!!

Here's the post I was talking about above:

"I did see a picture of the new uniforms in a style guide (not on-line so I can't post). It isn't too radically different. The numbers and color scheme are still the same (white number, yellow outline on purple jersey, purple number, yellow outline on white jersey).

The side insert is white on the purple jersey with a thin yellow trim stripe - purple with yellow on the white jersey. They didn't show anything for the sleeve but the UCLA style was gone and I imagine the Viking head will be on the sleeve.

The pants look very similar to what the Falcons wear.

Think Cardinals style top and Falcons style bottom."

Take it for what it's worth.

I have not seen the new Vikings designs, but the guy who has gave me the Pantone colors.

None of the colors are changing at all. I don't know where this "darker purple" is coming from.

We'll have to see if the fabric (Pantone Textile) is changing...

(also, no additional colors outside of Purple and Gold with the Flesh Tone for the primary logo)

I now see where this Chargers/Broncos comparison is going ...having their horn logo worked into the shoulders(Chargers same logo on shoulders as on the helmets) and down the pants stripe( Broncos ) I know some say that it was a Falcons style and others say Broncos but I don't see them duplicating the Falcons stripe like in this concept or even duplicating the Broncos stripe detail maybe more of a stripe in the shape of the horns . BTW I got this from a post over on pp.org I'll go back and check who it is to give them credit
