New Vikings Unforms *merged*

[sekuloguy]

YAY! NO BLACK!

I like them I think they're cool. I like the lettering.

If anybody was still wondering about the authenticity of these, the same images can be found on the Vikings official merchandise site.

Allow me to be the first hater to :censored: in everybody's Cheerios on this one (but then again, I'm a Packer fan, so take it with a big ol' shakerful of salt.)

These suck-diddley-uck.

The shoulder stripe is very Pats-esque, but having a colored trim stripe on top and not bottom looks unbalanced, and because it's on TOP, it doesn't suggest the Vikes' helmet-horn logo at all.

The broken collar stripe is just inanely stupid.

Using the old number font, but just softening the edges a bit? Goofy, but not offensive...but the nameplate font just doesn't match.

And what the hell was wrong with the Viking head logo on the sleeves? I actually kinda liked that. Now, the sleeves below the Pats stripe are just...plain. Too much blah space.

And WTF is the Viking head doing ABOVE the nameplate on the back? What are these, WWE T-shirts!?

The old Viking road whites were classic...if evil. These...feh.

Way to continue to screw up, Vikings...you continue to make 1265 Lombardi Ave's boys look good, while you look like @ss.

I like the white stripes on the Purple. Those are cool. I also like the dual colors on the collars. I'm a fan of "collar art" as it were.

If nothing else, the striping and the color combine to form a bit of a throwback look, yet looking modern at the same time.

Overall, it's a good upgrade considering that this is the most radical change they've made to their uniforms in their 46 year history.

I like 'em, and they're probably even nicer in person...if they have one of my boy Jermaine Wiggins (Boston native/member of the Super Bowl 36 Champion Patriots) may have to order one

On a sidenote, I remember the early descriptions of these jerseys were Broncos/Falcons-styled...I see the resemblance to the Broncos, but the Falcons? Maybe I'm missing something

I just noticed that it loos like the yellow striping stops half way down the side panels that must be just a photo shop thing right? BTW hate the logo above the name on the back. Not a nice trend of late .

[Thunderstruk]

Very simple but not that great!!! I'm sure combined with pants they might look better but we will see tomorrow.

No I think it does go all the way down you just can't see it in this picture.

[Lumbergh]

I have a question about the latest photos.

If they are real, how could the 3 different jerseys have the exact same wrinkles?

i'm also curious of this. But don't fret, we will know by tomorrow of how the whole set will look, can't wait!

[RickV]

No photos of the helmet yet? As far as the jerseys go, I like em except for the "horn" or whatever that thing is on the shoulders. Too plain.

The pants, probably.

[dennisbergan]

Too plain.

Yet, they would have been blasted by some here if they were too "busy".

No matter what they did, they weren't going to please everyone and certainly not please the "traditionalists".

For everyone that was "dreading" how bad these new uniforms were going to look, I think you all were jumping to conclusions. Face it, these are better than the out-of-date unis they have been wearing.

I think you can add the Vikes as another team that has upgraded their look in recent years. Far more "hits" than "misses" on the new NFL uni front.

And, I still don't get the hate for the Falcons new look. Those "evil" shoulder stripes that bother so many people aren't gaudy at all (you hardly even notice them on the red jerseys). They have a much cleaner, sharper look than the dingy, stale things they used to wear. The Falcons, truthfully, have a pretty basic uniform. No stripes on helmet. A very thin line up the pants. No stripes on socks. Really only use 3 colors (red, black and white). I don't see the outrage.

Now, the Bills.......I understand the outrage with them.

[Mings]

Just like I loved the Falcons, Bengals (except for the white stripe), Texans, and Cards before them, I love these Jerseys. The Vikings and Reebok really did a good job with these. Modern without going too far.

[slapshot]

Meh.

Could have been better. Could have been worse.

[STL FANATIC]

Well, I HATE the fact that the side stripes are different colors one each one meaning the only way each set of pants can only go with one jersey. I just HATE that. Pant should be interchangable with any jersey.

I really like the jerseys, but I can't stand that fact.

For what it's worth, the Vikings will be the first team since the original (the Broncos) in the NFL to introduce jerseys that have different colored side stripes.

[OldRamsFan]

Face it, these are better than the out-of-date unis they have been wearing.

In your opinion.

I don't like these at all.

Face what? Better how?

My math says: old jersey - UCLA-style shoulder stripes - a lot of the gold trim + borrowed sleeve element from the Patriots + contrast-colored side panel that's 5 years past trendy + logo over player name + slight tweak of number font with noticeable change in player name font = no better, and actually a step backwards from what were some sweet threads (the inconsistency between home and road aside).

They're not bad as compared to some other recent redesigns, but to glibly expect people to say these are demonstrably better because you think so isn't going to hold up.

[chriscj83]

wow, those are pretty nice. i like em alot.

i will definitely be buying one as soon as i can. but the question remains....who to get?

This pretty much sums it up for me. The bronco-esque sleeves (i.e. nothing on them) are bad.

But the collar. Horrible. Absolutely horrible. I can't even look at it without cringing.

(And they're giving up the best white jersey in the league...)
