While you are right that a lot of fans will be happy about this, others will be nostalgic for the uniforms they grew up liking. I don't care too much about the uniform, but to the extent I can bother myself to care I fall more into the category of being nostalgic for older uniforms, including the helmets. The tweaks to make the horns a bit more 3D looking were nice when they last updated the helmets, but I like the old color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed it, but not enough to bother me. Not nearly as bad as the ones during the Moss/Culpepper era that looked blue on TV. And I wish we could forget about the 2006 redesign. Ugh!

You're right about fans feeling nostalgic for the uniforms we grew up liking. As far as helmets...I liked the original Viking helmet with a deep, rich purple...and it was shiny. I think I'm over the matte finish helmet. It was cool for a couple of years. Now, it just looks like it's a helmet waiting for a coat of varnish!!

JDBrocks Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I've never been a matte finish fan. The shine of the helmets under the lights on Monday Night Football is one of my most vivid early football memories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a tougher, meaner look than the glossy shine. I am a big fan of the team’s current uniforms. The only thing keeping it from being perfect, in my eyes, is the “sail” look that they gave the first number of the double digit numbers.

Yeah, I don't like that sail look either. AS far as the helmets go...I'm not sure you can make purple look any tougher!!! As an aside, aren't the Vikings the only team with the matte finish helmet in the league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I feel like the color rush uniforms used matte helmets sometimes, but I think the Vikings are the only one with matte finish for the regular uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 The Jaguars tried to do that weird half matte, half gloss look. It didn’t work, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AP_allday2869 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Apparently, the Vikings have contacted the Ravens about trading for Kaare Vedvik... Arif Hasan has also added that its almost certainly not the Packers and he doubts its the Lions. I honestly don't care what Baltimore is asking, just give it to them.
