paynomind Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 From Vikings.com: That picture certainly doesnt show a new numbering font. Pretty blocky athletic generic, looks like.Unless that pic is purposefully misleading. Which I honestly cant image.How do we not have a leak on this? NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!

DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 That's too bad with the pants. I like to think of the Vikings as more of a "Classic" team. THEY DON"T NEED TO CHANGE! Another one bites the dust. Blame Matt Millen and the Lions. They defouled the entire Classic Division first. It's just a matter of time before the Packers have holograms of Brett Favre on their helmet and the Bears are wearing chaps with gradients and furry bears on their shoulder pads. 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...
oldschoolvikings Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Let's hope for just the standard block numbers... all these ugly new fonts are making my eyes hurt.Speaking of... is there a worse number font in all of sports than the WV Mountaineer's football font?

Nothing for me to tell."DMWiz" on the FanHome board has, and all he has done is confirm with me privately that the Pantone colors are staying the same. No changes or additions.He has also confirmed that the Reebok spec sheet posted here (and everywhere else) looks legit. He has said that the pants are similar in style to the Cardinals.That's absolutely everything I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 By the way, love the sig. J.J. rocks. J.J.'s my guy. Biggest influence on my musical life. J.J. Johnson for those of you who don't know who he was.Got to meet him on a couple of occasions...and I was a regular member of his email list - up until his death. It was great being able to communicate with him; a guy who knew and worked with absolutely EVERYBODY in the NY jazz scene in the '40s. Recorded with Bird, Dizzy, Clifford Brown, Miles, etc.In case anyone's wondering - the "Why Indianapolis? Why Not Indianapolis?" line refers to a tune J.J. wrote in reference to his retiring to Indy in the '90s. He was born in Indy, and ended up dying in Indy. He was a big Colts fan as well.

Sign up now! [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

CowboyKevin Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I think these are officially the jerseys...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Kid Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Well I guess its pretty safe to say the pic I posted was legit. Where did you find those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboyKevin Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 found the link over at purplepride. A couple of observations about these jerseys: 1. Although initially when I saw the graphics that Phat kid posted, I thought that it appeared they were trying to get the viking horn into the striping on the jersey. When I look at it now, it almost looks exactly like the Patriots striping.2. I'm thinking they are going to have 3 pairs of pants. A separate white pair for the purple and white jerseys, and another pair of purple pants to go with either the purple or white jersey. kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 no real big complaints thus far, they look pretty good. I'm not sure how much I'm gonna miss the Viking head on the sleeves, I guess we'll find out. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 For some reason, these ended up looking much simpler than I anticipated. The whites stand out to me because of the limited use of yellow. I realize yellow wasn't a major component of the previous away jerseys, but the little yellow on these images makes it seem barely noticeable.Josh brings up a good point with the Norseman. I wonder if I'll end up missing it on the sleeve. By the time a gigantic lineman wears this you won't see the sleeve anyway. I also wonder whether the shoulder horn element will be more noticeable when these are worn with full pads.EDIT: here's another pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Nice find Kevin...Someone emailed me the other day wanting to know if I was "going to have someone there to take pictures and report the event"... Well, my wife's parents live literally 10 minutes door-to-door from MOA, and I tried to get my mother-in-law to be an official "SSUR reporter"...but, she and my father-in-law won't be back in town in time for the thing.My brother-in-law might be able to head over...Any of the Twin Cities guys on this board going?

hawk36 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Not a big fan of the shoulder strip not matching the numeral color scheme. Should have the outline color. Looks too plain without it. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 not bad, i just hope they don't kill the update with a monochrome purple jersey+purple pants.
