vikings new uniforms

[FISHINGURU]

Looks good, except for the yellow and white stripes on the sleeve.

[LMITOUT]

The numbers are horrible.

I like the stripes on the sleeves...similar to the old days. The swoosh-thing they had over the shoulders and down the sides the last few years was uber lame.

The matte purple helmets aren't bad, either.

Did I mention the numbers were horrible?

[grizrunner]

Yep numbers suck as do the purple pants. Matte helmet looks like college ball. So overall I'd give em a 3/10.

well so much for a darker purple, what the f!! Why can't we get away from that crappy light purple bullsh$##!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes wanna knock someone out!! I need a drink!!!!!!!!!

[Rick]

I really like the purple pants, matte finish helmets with black facemask

And the serif font used to reflect "the bow of a viking ship.

WELL DONE VIKINGS

Haters can join Lmit's crew

Here are the 2013 Minnesota MN Vikings New Uniforms with Adrian Peterson:

Turn the backlight down to half capacity on your computer numb-nuts. That'll make all colors on your computer closer to realistic.

Maybe the video will give you a better feel for the uniform. Note what he says about real Vikings fans at the end of the clip

I LOVE THESE NEW UNIFORMS

[Scott K]

The jerseys and helmets are ok, the pants, not so much. The full purple makes them look like Barney.

[schmitty3]

I like it all except for the purple jerseys with purple pants. Nobody can honestly say that looks good. Yes, Barney is a good comparison.

[nofishfisherman]

As much as it pains me to say it I agree with LMIT. The numbers are horrible.

I don't mind the purple pants I just don't like them with the purple jersey. The purple on purple makes them look like Barney on roids.

The only thing I like about the uniforms ARE the numbers. They are great. The flat paint on the helmet looks like they paid some kindergartners to paint them. Like they are not finished. When I heard Nike was designing them, I knew there was a good chance I wouldn't like them. Trying to make the Vikings the Oregon Ducks of the NFL. Nope, don't like it. Don't like it t'all.

[DrJuice1980]

I wonder if there is now some sort of allegiance with Nike. Nike pants and Nike gloves? The NFL cornered that market a few years ago I had thought.

[FISHINGURU]

Well they are Nike so there really is a good chance kindergartners in a different country made them.

[LMITOUT]

I wonder if there is now some sort of allegiance with Nike.

Ya think?

I'll try again. You're a poor judge of purple saturation. Is that better? I just think they're considerably darker and I like what they have done, a lot.

[ThunderLund78]

Not all I was expecting but an improvement over the most recent uniforms. Still like it best when they throwback to the '90s uniforms.

[PurpleFloyd]

I generally don't care too much what they do with the uniforms at all but the numbers are terrible. Someone should get fired.

[LMITOUT]

Holy cow these uniforms are terrible. Not only do the numbers stink, but the purple of the helmet and jerseys don't even match. Minor gripe? Maybe. But this isn't pee-wee football.

The uniforms look like they've been in the washer since they were unveiled. Faded and worn out looking.

[nofishfisherman]

I told myself I'd never do this but I have to agree with LMIT.

The helmets are pretty cool but the jersey is terrible. The helmet and jersey don't match and the numbers on the jersey are terrible.

[grizrunner]

I'd like to change my review from 3 out of 10 to completely ridiculous. Epic fail.

[PurpleFloyd]

Pretty funny how things change. When they were released and I said the tony sucked and the new uni's were terrible I got hammered by a lot of fans who bought into the hype. I was told that market research indicated fans from all teams liked the font and jersey as well as the helmet but once people actually get to see what an abomination they are they finally see what I said all along.

Whoever was on the team that designed, prototyped and signed off on this should be fired, tarred and feathered.

Twice in the same thread.

We're making progress...
