I love the Vikings new uniforms and I can’t wait to buy one! I love how they went back to the darker purple and that its more of a traditional look. Love everything about them from the Matte helmets with the black facemask, the strips on the shoulders, the numbers, the pants and that they brought back the purple pants with white jerseys. Great job Nike and Vikings organization. Skol Minnesota Vikings!!!!

There will never be a uniform that every fan likes which is why as fans it’s none of our business. You don’t like ’em? Don’t buy one. The Vikings designed the uniforms, not Nike! They had an idea as to what they wanted and went with it. Someone said they are too plain for the NFL. Stop and look at the rest of the NFL…especially the NFC North and you will see that clean and traditional is the norm. Viking fans…which I’ve been one for 40+ yrs now.. are starting to be a bunch that bitches and moans about most things. Complaining and crying over numbers? C’mon. Do you bitch at everyone in your life that dares wear or do something you don’t like? Or are you just getting it out of your system? Be a fan and support the team, they have to read and listen to enough crap spewed by those who hate them…don’t be like them! You may as well be happy and supportive cuz they aren’t changing anything just because you bitch about it! Or, you can continue to be a miserable lot! SKOL!

I always like the old Viking pant stripe, Yellow in the middle bordered by the purple. The yellow stripe here is not centered, and is smaller than the old one. I thought the bold yellow (or gold) stripe made it look cool. But I like this version better than last years hideous uni’s, and the white jersey and purple pant looks pretty nice too, i like the large white border striping, just wish the yellow was centered and larger.

A step towards the future and an impressive modernization of what was already a good-looking uniform. Good job, Vikes.

I was looking forward to buying a home and away jersey but once I got a look at them I was sickened! How did someone get paid to make the jerseys? The numbers are about the dorkiest things I have seen! Way to go Idiots, ruin the jerseys! The New uniforms that came out before these god awefull ones where not bad but these new ones WOW! You need to put your heads together and redeem yourselves with something better and not so Tacky! For Shame!!!!!!!

Clean classic look. The only thing that kinda bothers me is the color panel above the gold strip. It goes from a strip to something weird looking.

Nice! It has some good distinctive character to it without being over the top. Great upgrade.

“For those who thought Nike couldn’t do anything but radical and futuristic”

Why does everyone think nike dictates what these team’s uniforms will look like? Each of the 32 teams own their logos and control what their uniforms design NOT NIKE!!! If a team decides they no longer like their uniforms and want to re brand; they solicit Nike to bring them designs. If nike brings the team a look they do not like or goes against their tradition or the direction they wish to take THEIR team; guess what? They’ll send nike back to the drawing board.

post script: these look great. Well done Vikings (from a non-Vikings fan).

Noy bad but I miss the Viking head, either on the sleeves or the pants. And change the numbers outline and the facemask to gold.

Definitely the best of the 3 recent unveilings, but I’m not too impressed, seeing as the “design” was pretty much something they’d worn before, minus the small details. It was like the 49ers 2009 new uniforms, which were essentially the same as their old ones. I don’t really care for the font numbers (what’s up with Nike and number fonts?) but everythign else fine. Kinda dig the sleeve stripes. The helmet is cool, black facemasks look nice. Matte helmets seem overused but it’s okay. The only other thing is the pant stripes…they’re a little asymmetrical. Especially the white pants. Seems odd, but I’ll have to see them during game time. Overall, not bad, the font is the worst aspect, but Nike could’ve done much worse to them. A-

In fact, why don’t the Calgary Stampeders follow suit by eliminating the black entirely or just limit it to an outline colour.

In reply to Eric. I like the number design. Even with the horns, they still look clean.

Yeah! these are very well done. I really like the pants stripes. The number font is silly yes, but this proved Nike can be coerced into design a decent looking uniform set. Not perfect but well done.
