Harmening Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 "Look at me, I'm oldschoolvikings and my team doesn't look ridiculous!" Some of us (Bengals fans) aren't so fortunate.No kidding. Back when they had nice unis, the team sucked. Now, we can watch a competitive team, and their unis suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The uniform looks good I'm not saying it doesn't but I do not believe it looks better than this beautyThough I do love those retro socks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 No way does what the Packers wear now look better than this.Ah, those road uniforms. I love the sleeve and neck striping. So much better than the current road jerseys - just like heraldry, gold should never touch white on a jersey. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

PALEFACE Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The Vikings bust out the purple pants... in practice!?NOTE: Peterson as full sized knee pads on while most players are opting for the smallest versions available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PALEFACE Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Also, on the Monday Morning Mailbag featured on vikings.com Mike Wobschall addresses a question about the helmet not matching the rest of the uniform:Why are the helmets a different color than the uniforms?-- DanicaThe vast majority of feedback I’ve received from fans regarding the new uniforms has been positive. People love the old-school look blended with Nike’s style, the black facemask and the matte finish on the helmets. But I have received several emails from fans about the color of the helmet and the uniforms not matching. In person, I can tell you there is almost no difference in the color, and my observation based on watching Friday’s broadcast in the press box is that different types of televisions can distort the true color of the helmets/uniforms and can actually accentuate any negligible difference in the appearance. It’ll be interesting to see what the combination looks like together this Friday when the television will display an outdoor night game in Buffalo and then the following week when the game will begin at sunset in San Francisco. Also, remember that the uniforms are fabric and the helmets are a hard surface, so it’s unlikely you’re going to get two separate objects such as those to be the exact same color, especially when the hard object (helmets) has the matte finish.This probably is not a surprise to most of us, as we all note that indoors is the worst place for colors like blue and purple when photographed or captured on video. This should all be fixed with TFC Stadium and the new dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PALEFACE Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Peterson has always worn the most pads he can, and has always said everyone should wear themYes. I guess my statement was more commentary on the ridiculously tiny knee pads players are wearing because they have to while the MVP is just fine wearing his normal ones with no problems.

suns1977 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I thought the purple pants might be overkill but in actuality, I think they make the uniform.At first the matte helmet was a little distracting as it didn't look to match the rest of the uniform, but now I don't notice it so much.

xmichaelp Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The purple on purple isn't too bad. I actually wouldn't mind it as a once a year, primetime game type of thing.Nothing more than that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wouldn't mind it as a once a year, primetime game type of thing.Nothing more than that though.I've never understood when teams have this reasoning. In the biggest games, with the prime time lights shining down and the national audience tuning in, why wouldn't you wear your absolute best look? Why dilute your great opportunity to show off with something that isn't good enough for you to wear every other game? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

No all-white, no mono purple.Nothing wrong with just two looks.
