Norseman on the sleeves was epic and with the minor changes, I can see this being brought into affect once more, purely to gain more exposure. As with all retro looks, you can't top the image associated with the beginnings of your team in my opinion. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

From November of 2010. Just some graphic artist getting creative.

Some of these are pretty cool. Some, not so much. What do you think if this was ours?

I kind of like the horns on the sleeve, but I couldn't deal with that helmet. Gotta be purple with the horns.

I would be livid. Those are terrible.

I will say, those Bengals ones are awesome. I also liked the steel texture in the Steelers helmets.

I think I'd :puke:

That's a hideous uniform design.

Only thing I would like out of that is if they had alternate helmets with the viking on the side, but only as alternates. Other than that, it's too much and I don't like the gold.

They are 100% fake.
Tacky, looks like an Arena League uniform. I think it's too much of an alteration personally.

The major changes there are a complete redo of the helmet and the replacement of white with gold in the color scheme. Apart from that, they're not much different than the arena league uniforms they wear now.

I remember when those fakes came out, and I'm glad they are, yuck. Looks like something LSU should be wearing more than the Vikings.

Subtract the helmet and the undershirt that few players would wear and the uniform above is _less_ busy than the current one.

There's also the following concept. Not sure how much you can do with stockings and undershirts, but they sure do try. The rest is pretty much the current uniform, except the numbers are changed and a bit too small. What they really need to do is model uniforms on a 6'2" 330lb guard if they want to see how truly ludicrous they can look.

I do like the white over purple pants for away uniforms.

Precisely, I think taking away a helmet that is so synonymous with our organisation is out of the question. The famous Vikings horns are easily recognisable and world renowned!
