And yes, New England generally switches to dark pants on the road, as do several teams with white or gray home pants.

Re: Vikings uniforms.. What could have been.
Sorry, more meant as same color shirt and same color pants. I absolutely the Ravens and Saints plain black spandex look for both home and away.
Pull yr 84 jerseys out.
Re: Vikings uniforms.. What could have been.
I think teams with colored pants have less of a dilemma. They don't look like they're playing in their long underwear when they go to white tops.
And other teams have tried it and had the idea soundly rejected by fans. Cleveland tried white over brown pants (which looks pretty good to me), but then went back.

Now, I am not the biggest fan of the color purple (mostly because it seems kind of feminine, I guess?), but it is our team color, so being decked out in all purple looks sweet to me....

Anyway, I suspect you are in the minority in liking the all-purple alternates but someone else must like them. After all, the Vikings wear them ...

Purple on purple is great! The more purple the better!

Purple is only masculine when Prince wears it...oh wait, I take that back. Prince is awesome though, but I wouldn't mind all purple uniforms!
Addendum: Again, I don't like "black" shoes. Make them white and add purple, or purple and yellow.

Re: Vikings uniforms.. What could have been.
I agree that the gold and black & gold were pretty hideous. However, that black/purple combo looks prertty sweet.
I hate the Bears, but there uniform design is still tops in the league IMO. Chargers are honorable mention, I've always liked the bolts.

I recall reading recently that the only Roman permitted to wear purple was the Emperor. For others to do so, meant the death penaltyS197 wrote:The Romans also wore purple

Re: Vikings uniforms.. What could have been.
IMO the Vikes always have had the "best" looking unis in the game. The Helmet with the horns is what makes it work!
