Whether this is a better fake or not judge for yourself.

This however, is the worse fake.

They should make one alternate uniform with the norseman logo on the side helmets instead of the horns! It would be different and epic. :thumbsup:

I'd still prefer just going back to the old ones with a few tweaks like the Niners and Bills did recently but those are cool too. I do hope they go with the shoulder stripes for the Away ones those as a opposed to just a white inverse of the home.

Also no one answered my question on the previous page so I'll ask it again did anyone unlock the 3rd box on the uniform insider thing? As I said I'm not active enough on social media to gain enough points to unlock everything. So it'd be nice if someone from the board can keep us to date on what the 3 reveals are each week.

I know the first were some pointless "history of Vikings" thing and a comment Greenway on the new unis.
I'm not active enough on social media to keep unlocking hint boxes I'll probably remain stuck on 2. :(

You don't mess with the horns on the helmet. You just don't.

Well the horns have not given us any super bowl wins so I don't see why they can't be changed.

I have seen two "sneak peek" pics. One of them is posted on the Vikings homepage, and the other was tweeted by @Vikeologist. They seem to have a "flat" dark purple color, and the word "Vikings" was sewn with a darker gold color than the yellow we are used to.

Bottom line, Nike could make the best Vikings jerseys to date if they do this right. I love the gold and deep purple colors so far.

The yellow color on this jersey doesnt match up at all with the "Vikings" that is swen on the front of the jersey that is posted on official Vikings.com website. Could be close tho

I agree with you. I was nervous to see what Nike might come up with but it's looking pretty sweet. The collar one from Vikeologist, showing that they got rid of the "leisure suit" yellow collar and that it's just solid purple is EXACTLY what I was hoping to see. All good signs so far.

A close-up shot of the area below the collar but above the numbers on the front of the jersey:

I saw this pic on Twitter. Apparently, it's the 5th clue:

@Vikeologist on Twitter shared this "hint pic" too:

As you can see when comparing it to the stitched "Vikings" logo above, the colors look a bit different from photo to photo. My guess is that the purple we see in this picture is probably a better representation of the uniform color than the darker purple in the photo of the Vikings logo.

Maybe there will be some black in the jerseys?
The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." ‪#‎SKOL2018

lol Vikeologist is kind of a goon. He tweeted 2 weeks ago rumors were "Swirling" that Antoine Winfield was ready to re sign with the Vikes
Pull yr 84 jerseys out.

I doubt it. I certainly hope not. The Ravens use purple and black so the Vikes will probably steer away from that combo. I hope they stick with purple, golden yellow and white. :)
