TruColor Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Found this over on purplepride.org. Here is the post then the pic:Posted by FedjeViking:Well that other fellow (on that other list) came up with what is suppose to be the new jersey's. He says he knows someone who works at Reeboks. Take a look....Now here is the pic:...Meh I don't know. Have to see when they come out I guess before I make up my mind. Interesting. Not the standard NFL template, but looks legit.Don't know what I think either.Looks like the Cardinals started something (at least in the NFL) with the logo on the back of the neck, huh?

quantum Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I wonder what authentic v premier means? Otherwise, it looks legitimate on some level.

Phat Kid Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Looks like the Cardinals started something (at least in the NFL) with the logo on the back of the neck, huh? I did not even notice that. But I think you are right. Lets see how many teams follow trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 If that's it, I don't mind it. It doesn't seem overdone. I wonder what the pants look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 My guess is the pants will look similar to the Broncos pants with the stripe coming to an end looking like the viking horn. In this case, its probably gonna be all white on the road, all purple at home, as mentioned on here before. Also, the helmet (as seen at the upper left part of the image) looks unchanged. And the yellow on the premier jersey looks more like gold than the standards Vikings yellow they have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 meh, could be worse. I'd have to see it in person, I cant quite get the feel from that pic. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 if this is legit, then i'm a big dope for worrying. i think this is one of the better modern-style nfl jerseys i've seen.drop the logo from the back collar, and i'd venture to say they'd be some of the nicest unis in the league.

BBTV Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Not bad at all, though I think yellow would have been better than the gold.The one big issue I see is that since the side stripes are contrasting on both jerseys, they would either have to go monochrome on home and away, or have four pairs of pants to mix and match. I prefer how the Patriots do it, since they can mix and match while needing only two pants.

I prefer how the Patriots do it, since they can mix and match while needing only two pants. I actually think that the Patriots' side-stripes are quite obnoxious, since they don't match up with the stripes on the pants. I have never been able to figure out why the Pats do that. What's the point of having two different styles of stripes butting up against each other? It looks like a mistake.With the colors, I suspect this is a scanner/printing issue. I have been told from a reliable source (someone who has a physical copy of the 2006 Style Guide) that the Pantones aren't changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuarterRoy00 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I've been seeing billboards around the Twin Cities lately that show a blurry pic of a group of Vikings players w/ the tag line "On April 27, everthing will become clear" with a Reebok logo under that. Look like y'all have your official unveiling date. As a Packer fan, I can't wait to make fun of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I wonder what authentic v premier means? Otherwise, it looks legitimate on some level. Perhaps "premier" is just a classy way of saying "replica", but when you look at the MSRPs, you think there would be more of a discrepency between the prices. I don't really know what else could be the difference between the two terms.This graphic definitely looks to be more legit than the other "Straight from Winter Park" concept. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right about the stripes around the panels not matching up, but at least the panels match. I also don't get why they can't just do the pants stripe on the jersey too, but I think mis-matched panels would be a bigger issue.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I have the feeling that in five years' time, we'll all be very embarassed over these monochromes. That said, if the Vikings would like to trash a perfectly fine uniform for elongated horns and purple pants, go for it. "Denver Broncos North" seems to be more fitting, and is there anyone that thinks the Broncos' current look isn't already a bit stale? One can only be cutting edge for so long, and I have a feeling the Vikings might regret this change soon enough. I already do. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sec19Row53 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Just noticed that the helmet in that concept still has the same Viking horn. Since I think it's been pretty firmly stated that the horn will be changed (albeit slightly), I'm thinking this is yet another concept. It's where I sit.

TruColor Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I just posted the pic on FanHome...DMWiz has apparently seen these things for real; he should be able to confirm or deny if they're real or not.Personally, I think these are legit. The horn/graphic-thing on the header of the pic is probably just something that hasn't been modified yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldRamsFan Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Personally, I hope that none of the concepts that are rumored to be authentic are the real thing. The Vikes had one of the few traditional-looking unis left. This modern stuff the Bengals, Broncos, Bills, and Patriots wear belongs in a circus, not on the football field.

TruColor Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 DMWiz from FanHome:Very similar to what I have seen. I never saw the back so I am uncertain as to how the stripes wrap around the sleeves. Since the NFL Style Guide still doesn't show the backs of the uniforms (something they're overdue to correct), he hadn't seen the backs.I'm still standing by my assumption that these are legit.

In 5..4..3..2..1 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I like the concept of incorporating the horns but hate the fact it looks like a monochrome job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
