chriscj83 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I like 'em, but I like the new horn better. Also, if the purples matched (helmet v.s. jersey), these would be my favorite. Oh wait, they already are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koizim Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 By far the best looking match-up of the week! Now all the Vikes need is Fran Tarkenton and then they'd really be on to something.

Shumway Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Funny, I didn't even notice until I saw this thread. It's not even like they're wearing the Culpepper era uniforms. they look about 1,000 times better than usual, regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucskick20 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I'm pretty sure everyone agrees that it is you who has no taste if you like the new ones more than these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omnibus Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Always love the throw back, dont know why teams wear mono-crome or "Denver" type stripes. They all look ugly. Not ONE of them looks good. I hate Phoenix, Minnesota, Atlanta, Denver, who am I missing in the NFL. NCAA- My Kentucky, Louisville, West Virginia I guess I could go on forever. I guess everyone will have these eventually, so we better get used to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I really hate being that guy who thinks teams should go back to wearing what they had when he was 10. But I really do like these better. I don't think what they have now is nearly as bad as its made out to be, but when I flip through channels, I still have to remind myself "oh yea... that's the Vikings." In these, they actually look like a team from the NFC North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are definitely either blind or you have no taste. I am going with no taste. Let's compare.You can't be serious. Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsox Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 That is a pretty solid looking matchup. I like the uniforms they wore before the current ones better, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are definitely either blind or you have no taste. I am going with no taste. Let's compare.You can't be serious.Hmmm ... helmet that doesn't match the color of the fabric, leg and arm stripe styles that don't echo one another ... I'm a Minnesotan who's not embarrassed to admit that I want the Vikings to wear what they wore when I was 13, but I just can't see any non-sentimental grounds for preferring the throwback home uni on the left to the current road uni on the right. Better colors, more integrated design, more distinctive overall look, that's strong grounds for calling it the better uniform. I mean, just look at the Packers for an example of how you go about putting stripes on a football uniform. That is how it's done. That was always the problem with the Vikings uniforms: Great pants, great shirt, great helmet, but none of the three really worked well together thanks to mismatched detailing. It's all well and good to prefer the old to the new, as I do in this case, but it's simply ridiculous to hold up these throwbacks as examples of such great uniform design that you'd have to be blind or a tasteless fool not to prefer them. Of course, I may be a little biased here: I was at Burger King today, and looking at the display of their mini-jerseys, it hit me that the purple Vikings mini jersey was perhaps the second-most-awesome looking one there. I still don't like the actual new Vikings jersey, but it made me think that if the miniature version can look that sweet, then perhaps I've been too harsh in my judgment of the real uni. Catch me tomorrow and maybe I'll be back to hating on the new Vikings unis and pining unconditionally for the return of the old ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Lemme say that I am one of the few on this board that DOES like the Vikes new jerseys... which I guess is good cuz I hafta watch them every week. Of course I like the throwbacks, I enjoyed seeing them on the field... but I think the Vikes are right in line now with the modern times, and it's only a matter of time before a majority of the NFL teams update to the modern feel, with few exceptions like the Packers, Bears, etc. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 The thing with this set and the current set is...the set from 2 years ago blows them both away. This set is too plain...the unneeded gray mask, plain white numbers, and the different color looking purples. The new set at least matches the purples better, uses some yellow trims, and that's about it...but like I said, neither are the "better" set.
