Those jerseys have all the clues that have been revealed. Exactly what I was picturing after seeing all of the clues.

We can only hope these are real, Nike couldn't have done better.

Can't really tell what style of paint on the helmet, looks matte but could be glossy. Face masks look black, could be a deeper purple tho.

SKOL!

My buddy got it from Uni Watch. They are real. That horn sucks on the number and I wish our away pants were white too.

Huh?

Overall I dig 'em. Hopefully the helmet is that matte finish.

Look at the bottom right of the "5" in "52"... there's this little tail/horn thing. Same with the "2" in "28" in the away jersey

I was hoping that was just just the way the uniform was bunched. Lame. But it's small enough that it's not too noticeable.

If this truly is the "new" uniforms, it's pretty boring. It is as if Nike didn't even bother thinking about the Vikings, they just wanted to move on to the next team as soon as possible.

Pelissero confirms.

Damn, those look nice. LOL, that one guy's concept design in the last page was spot on too.


Still, I wish they would have put the norseman on the sleeves! I miss those uniforms.

I almost have to agree with this. People have been talking about this "new uniform" thing for weeks now--as if it was the coolest thing ever. lol. Y'all built it up like it was going to be "oh-so-amazing." I just don't see it. They are alright I suppose, but kind of disappointing. I'm hoping they look better in "real life." And what's with no one being able to keep a secret?!?! And here I thought women were bad. lol. So much for this big "unveiling at the Draft Party." Fail. I was kind of looking forward to that little perk. Blah.

Boring? Not at all. It's just not busy like the 06-12 era ones. I like how classic these are looking.

It _is_ lame. Why change the font that's been used for 60 years, of all things?

Overall, though, it works for me. It certainly could have been a lot worse. It's ten times better than the current uniform, but it could have gone further toward tradition. And I do like the white over purple for the road uniforms.

On the contrary, it looks like they did the smart thing and kept it clean and simple instead of creating an overworked monstrosity like the Oregon uniforms or slapping the Vikes with a tacky neon accent like they did with the Seahawks. Overall, I like it, although I'm waiting for a 360 degree view to see how the sides and back look (especially the side of the helmet).

Looks good to me.

People want simple and that's what they get, but now it's not enough. smh...

It's simple but NIKE always has an agenda for making things look like poop. I hope we don't have the Matte helmets. PLZ NOOO

Funniest thing I've heard all day!
