Going big picture for a minute, what a contrast between Miami's bumbling approach towards their new unis vs. Minnesota's buildup.

I agree 100% and I said this about a week ago. Come to think of it, in all my time here, I don't think I've ever seen a team botch an unveil as badly as the Dolphins have this year.

Didn't catch this question asked, forgive me if it has, but do the vikes and ravens currently share the same purple textile? The new teaser seems a lot closer to baltimore's jersey, but it could be lighting, complimentary colors, etc. Seems to have more grey in it...

No, in the past,the Ravens' purple has been slightly darker, the Vikes' a little brighter. I'm still betting the difference in the color of the teaser is mostly lighting... possibly intentional, to keep the guessing going for a few more weeks.

It is possible that the vikings arent changing their official pantone, but could swap out the pantone textile. Colorwerx?

I'll post some comparisons tomorrow...been out of town all week on business, just got home a couple of hours ago, and I need some sleep (!)...

I strongly doubt that's the number font, since they just used an unmodified, italicized version of United Regular Black by House Industries instead of a proprietary font.

But, what's wrong with that? It's a classic font.

I, for one, would LOVE that font (italicized or not) as our new number font.

That poll splits the vote among a bunch of traditional designs. To be it's 42 Seahawks and 58 "Not Seahawks". And just wait a couple years and see how everyone feels...

Not buying that. I don't think if you add in the Cardinals or Falcons it's going to take away much of the Seahawks votes.

Interesting pic from the Daily Norseman... side by side of old and new. Still don't think the color can be deduced, based on Roman's points. But one thing I noticed. On the old jersey, the edge of the numbers were just visible from this view... this jersey, not.

It's hard to know for sure from this picture, but it looks like the collar on the new jersey is slightly thinner. On the new jersey the flywire is right next to the seam for the collar. Also, the shoulder panels look different. Is this a new template Nike is introducing for NFL teams or did the Vikings have a custom template last year?

The Vikings had a custom template last year. Whereas the shoulder seam on others teams (such as the Bears) went down then across, on the Vikings' the seam was higher, following the shoulder more. The new jersey looks like other teams' template.

Darkening the purple and replacing yellow for gold? I'm all aboard. It could be a huge upgrade.

The gold was the more important of the two to fix but I agree I'd be on board with both changes.

NEITHER CHANGE IS HAPPENING! The purple is not becoming darker and the yellow is becoming yellower, not being swapped out for gold.
