Badge Man Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Will the Minnesota Vikings be wearing their purple jerseys with purple pants this year?

The funny things is - that uni is not even in the game.I wouldn't too much stock in Madden anyway. This year, they've got the Rams wearing white pants as their normal home unis, and the Browns wearing brown pants as their normal away unis.

I imagine that the Vikes have that option available if they want to be the California Raisins one night. I'm not sure if they will act on it though. With NFL unis today, I wouldn't doubt it.

I saw parts of their game this past weekend...the purple looked very blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badge Man Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 the purple on purple won't happen.... it... CAN'T.. happen...please God.You have to buy Action Replay, it's $29.99. With Action Replay you can download updated rosters for ESPN NFL 2K5. You can also edit them online with a ESPN NFL 2K5 editor but you will still need Action Replay to export the edits.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Replay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it was, he looked like a giant grape too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most Viking fans would agree with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazberg Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Are you guys saying that in Madden 08, you can't even play as the Browns in all white, their normal road uniform??And yeah I've always thought the Vikings' purple was waaay toward the blue end of the spectrum; during the game the other night I'd swear one of the coaches' shirts was royal blue.

BlueSky Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I thought the pants panel was an issue, i.e. wouldn't match up with the jersey in a purple/purple combo?the purple on purple won't happen.... it...

Outside v. inside, sunlight v. floodlights. Even on television v. in person.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most Viking fans would agree with me.It has changed a couple of times over the years...and for 2007, the Vikings' textile/fabric color is using a proprietary Reebok color (same as the L.A. Lakers BTW). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most Viking fans would agree with me.Purple is a difficult color to work with...and to look at It changes under different lights and when its paired with different colors. I've sworn that the Vikings had three different shades of purple last year alone...but alas it was merely when I saw them play indoors, outdoors during the day and a night time game. I think I might need glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
