Ponder wore the long sleeves in the demo.mrc44 wrote: I didn't even think about that. That's a great point, I wonder if everyone will wear the elastic sleeves or if the sleeved ones will have the stripe lower. It does look really weird that the locations are different
You may have read this but they are supposed to mimic the bow of a Viking ship. They actually do a pretty good job in that regard and it makes it less weird. Not that it makes it necessarily more attractive.PurpleMustReign wrote:I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but I noticed this mroning that only the FIRST number has those "tails" on them.

It can be on the second number as well.PurpleMustReign wrote:I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but I noticed this mroning that only the FIRST number has those "tails" on them. The second number is always normal.
yes, but the numbers still look goodPurple Domination wrote:The new numbers are starting to grow on me. I think they look better in the full context of the uniform than they do in a closeup shot of just the numbers. Am I going crazy?
Agreed. I was a little unsure about these at first, but after seeing them on the guys at the draft party--they look good. With that being said, I think my Vikings players always look good, so my opinion is probably a little biased. lol. But no, they really did look good. I even thought about buying one when they were on sale at the family day/other draft party on Saturday, but I decided against it. I did see some other people wearing them, and they looked kinda funny. They seemed to be tight and too small or something. It just looked a bit awkward! Either way, the boys will look good!NextQuestion wrote:Here's what I'll say: I saw these in person on the players at the draft party and they look good with gear on. Fans do not look good repping these in street clothes.
They don't use it on the second number at all. If you've seen it, it's either an illusion or a mistake in putting together the prototypes. It's wasn't done to the 2 in Felton's no. 42.S197 wrote: It can be on the second number as well.
Or it might not be there at all. Ponder's #7 doesn't have the "bow."
What I meant was when can one get the Elite (authentic) jerseys of the new uniform? I already ordered a Greg Jennings uniform as well as both Shariff Floyd and Xavier Rhodes!Jeffbleedspurple wrote: You can already get them. http://www.nflshop.com/family/index.jsp ... age_Jersey
Getting my Harrison Smith jersey next week. In the new uniform design.
