Brings a new definition to boring for sure! Fits the Fraizer tenure.

You wonder how a guy like Jared Allen can stand in a mirror and say "I want to wear this uniform. I look bad @$$." As a rather new mn resident I don't want to be associated with it either hahahahaha.

They are UGLY the uni's don't match the helmet which is just dumb And the Matte helmets just don't meld with me............and the new numbers stink......well on the plus side at least the color pattern isn't green and yellow.....

The first thing my 10 year old daughter said during the game was " their helmets don't match their jersey's"

[Scott K]

I would like to see them in some sort of black and purple uniforms. I think they would look cool

[CANOPY SAM]

You guys sound like a bunch of cranky old hens.

Only thing I thought was odd about the new uniforms is the obvious intentional beefing up of the helmets this year to protect from head injury.

The new helmets, even on the really big guys, make them all look like Star Wars Storm Troopers. Grossly disproportionate! Reminds me of that Rick Moranis line in Space Balls. "I see your Shwartz is as big as mine!"

[DREZLER]

IMO anybody caught up with just how perfectly the helmet matches the Jersey is channeling their inner 'Queer eye for the strait guy'. Who cares.

I like the jerseys- they have the throwback look.

Would you people actually prefer those ridiuclous ARENA FOOTBALL LEAGUE jeresys that they have been wearing?

[tsande00]

The helmets actually match the jerseys pretty closely in person. The reason they look off is an effect of the television broadcast. I've heard that this should improve during the regular season. Even if you go back and watch the replays and rebroadcasts you'll notice a big improvement.

It's the reason I never buy Vikings jerseys, it's also the reason Petersons jersey isn't a #1 seller.

[Mid-Lake Rock]

I wish they would just go with the traditional look and call it a day. I remember the days when the helmet never matched the jersey.

sounds like a bunch of hens clucking away about bridesmaid dresses if ya ask me.

carry on.

I think the matte helmet will provide a competitive edge and be banned by the nfl

The gophers thought that too.

It's really not that preposterous. Let me explain it like I would to my 4 year old. In person, the jerseys and helmets match reasonably close. When watching on TV they look much different. The jerseys almost have a blue shade to them on the TV...in person it's almost a dark purple.

Now let me explain it like I would to my 3 year old - The jerseys color looks much different on TV than it does in person.

Source: I was at the game Friday night and also re watched the TV broadcast.

[LMITOUT]

I guess you have a lot of 'splainin to do, because I'm not the only one who's not buying that cockamamie excuse.

[deets22]

Leslie Frazier feels that the new uniforms will help Matt cassel feel more comfortable in the huddle all season.

[Scott K]

I dont know about you, but looking at our offense line wearing all purple is not a good site.

[schmitty3]

Way too much talk on the jerseys, who cares I watch for the game not what they're wearing...

[JP Z]

True, but this is a Vikings Jersey thread.....
