New Uniforms?

[Xqed]

I like what I see. Still a little unsure about the number font but can't wait to get a better view tonight!

Ya'll are buggin' if you don't think these are fresh as hell. These are too sweet.

Wish they kept the white stripe a stripe instead of whatever the heck that thing is. Black facemask and the horn tips are touching now, have to see it in person to decide. That Allen jersey is pretty ugly IMO.

[PacificNorseWest]

Guaranteed they grow on you.

Way too Nike-fied. Those silly numbers are embarrassingly over the top. It looks especially dumb on digits like a '1'.

[PacificNorseWest]

Save for the numbers and the shoulder stripe, what's so nike-fied about it? I think it's pretty damn simple.

Whatever. Nitpickers. I'll buy me my jersey and move along.

Ooh ... the #Vikings slideshow includes a purple-on-purple combo. We call that #TheFullGrimace.

Great. It just gets better...

Lots of images of the new uniforms and helmets now at vikings.com.

I'm liking the new matte helmet. Shows the purple better and more uniformly

The little "horn" points on the numbers are a minor thing. Big freaking deal. I don't mind it at all, it adds just a touch of style to an otherwise pretty plain vanilla uni.

Try to tell me that this doesn't look dumb:



Note that they've also added this treatment to a few random letters - A, L, T among them.

Not to sure about the numbers but overall better than what we've been wearing the last several years.

Mr. Eli, I don't think anyone will disagree with you, including Mr. Sanford!

...wisdom through small efforts, but...

Didn't even notice that. Honestly I think it looks good on the letters. But terrible on the numbers. Went a little overboard on the horns theme.

I'm okay with these. But then again, I was never really opposed to the uniforms we've had since '06. I like the throwback feel they have, but I'm not entirely sure about the font on the numbers. The away uniforms will take some getting used to, but again not bad. Overall, Nike could have done a lot worse (see Seattle), but I would have loved for them to have gone even more throwbackish ('98 style).
