BeeR Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 As if the Fins weren't bad enough. Vikes without purple and yellow? I don't even care about this team but they are a long-standing NFL team/tradition and any other colors is total stupidity, purely asinine desperation moves by a mental midget owner. What's next, Chicago goes to pink and green and calls themselves the Goblins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big John Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 They are changing uniforms: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000154963/article/minnesota-vikings-to-unveil-new-uniforms But i don't see anything on changing their colors.

BeeR Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 "The Vikings announced Thursday that changes are coming to the organization's long-running purple and gold uniforms." They don't say it outright, but if not, why mention the colors at all? They didn't even mention the logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article simply references the colors as part of a linked story showing the evolution of their uniforms. Geez, this is like all the outrage last year over a change in NFL uniform makers and assumptions that they would somehow force or influence teams to have ugly uniforms like Oregon.

You haven't seen the Seahawks play lately, I take it. Yeah maybe. But if it's just a tweak, they worded it stupidly, even for sports "journalists" (ie hacks).

The discussion I recall here when this came up before was that crappy shoes from spammers (replacing Reebok as official NFL outfitter) were going to "screw up all the uniforms like the did with Oregon". It didn't happen, at least not yet (Seahawks excluded.) http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?/topic/365888-the-nfl-is-about-get-oregonized/page__hl__reebok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't say it outright, but if not, why mention the colors at all? They didn't even mention the logo. I saw the new logo, and you have to stare at the old and new logo to notice changes... The hair/mustache are a little different, the horn is shaped a little different. Still the same colors, just minor changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope Flick Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 They went to a different shade if purple and tweaked the Viking not 6-7 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big John Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Variations on the colors but still purple and gold: http://www.vikings.com/news/article-1/An-Up-Close-Look-At-The-New-Vikings-Uniforms/6dc86c3b-a735-4a3e-982e-5cb40afb504f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Told ya. Looks more blueish. How freaking retarded is that - why do you change a classic, this isn't the freaking Panthers or Jags we're talking about. I hope the fans revolt. Wow their owner sucks.

CaptainHook Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 The Colts went to a darker blue a couple years ago. No big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 A minor shade change isn't the same - they were blue anyway, and really that was getting back to the shade they should have been all along (that they were originally). Oh well whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Simmer down everyone. The "uniform change" was simply Jared Allen got a haircut. They wanted their fans to know ahead of time to avoid all the "who is the new DE?" questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Love the darker purple. They have had variations of the shade over the years. I think this one is more like the old school shade. Much better than the redder shade of purple. Plus if you look close it looks like purple denim. This can only mean one thing...Favre is coming back. Real comfortable spamshirts.

I agree, I think it looks pretty cool... and love the new typeface. Looks like Archie Bunker is the only one that doesn't like it. And he hates puppies and rainbows too so it's not like that's a real shocker to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
