tBBP Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Calling it right now, the Dolphins logo is gonna have silver on the dolphin and everyone is gonna get pissed when the Silver ends up on the Uniform. I can see it as their response to nobody liking the Navy."Oh you don't like the navy? Okay then, let's add silver and it all up. HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT?"If that does happen, I'm taking full credit for it—especially since I came up with that idea almost five years ago:(And the NPC version I did last year)/shameless plug *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriscj83 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I agree completely with OldSchool. It might be too old-school to fans of other teams, but to us Viking fans, thats the way we love it.Redarken the Purple, bring back the northwestern stripes, keep a yellow outline around the numbers and you're golden.EDIT: Removed at poster's request.Ohhhhhhh Relax... maybe they made the white whiter. /denialI don't like where this is headed.

A darkening of the yellow would be interesting. Would also like if they really de-emphasized the yellow with the (allegedly) new uniforms. I question Zygi's judgment after the current uniform debacle (minus the new helmet horn, which I like), but hopefully he can deliver this time. And please get rid of the bubble number font.Keep the trickle of information coming, CDixon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrookedThumb Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Lemme guess: Vikings are going with gold instead of yellow.EDIT: I forgot you already said they weren't changing colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So while it doesn't sound like its happening, I would love to see the Vikings go with this color combination: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I'm not a Vikings fan, but I would HATE to see them go with that color combination. First off, it would go with the stupid trend of the last 15 years to "improve" colors by making them darker. Gold is not an improvement over yellow. It's not an "update". Also, they have worn the colors for over 50 years. They should wear the same colors until the end of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinberwolvikings Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Well acording to CDixon, the yellow is changing, despite the 50 years of history. I just think the gold looks nice because it isn't as distracting as the current yellow on the uniforms (especially the collars). But because the Ravens came into the league and hijacked purple and added gold, I don't see the Vikes going the gold route. And it would probably cause a revolt amongst the baby boomer fans a la OldSchoolVikings.That said, what other type of change to the Norseman could really elicit a "WTF?!" reaction?

aawagner011 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I think that LSU gold would certainly be more than "a few shades" different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 They may be changing the yellow somewhat, but it's likely something which most people wouldn't notice. Hell, most of the color changes ColorWerx tells us about are something even we could barely see when the two shades are right next to eachother. This yellow change will not impact the overall look of the team. Changing their yellow to gold would be about like the Bears switching to navy and red. It too drastic and shouldn't happen.

So if that's the case, there is some other somewhat drastic change to the logo that elicits a "WTF?!?" reaction. Given Zygi's track record, that makes me nervous.CDixon, say it ain't so.
