They should just change it to a picture of Adrian Peterson. With a blonde mustache, of course.

Heres another fact for you Packer trolls.

Packers or Vikings, whose the most consistent winner Packers or Vikings?

Playoff appearances over the last 45 years.

Packers – 17
Vikings – 27

Nuff said cheese brains.

————————–

Playoff appearances? Seriously? You can have your 0 Super Bowl wins in 27, I’ll take 4 Super Bowl wins in 17.

Still purple. Could have done something cool to make what is now the worst uniform in sports better. Could have at least gone a very dark purple or blue-purple kind of look.

New uniforms still won’t put any trophies in their glaringly empty display case.

”
Isn’t the Vikings a rasist name? Isn’t it very stereotypical to have a big blond guy with long hair as the mascot? How is this different than the Redskins?”

something about genocide…..and one name being invented by the people who use the name for themselves, and another a derogatory term invented by those that committed said genocide. but maybe that’s a little to complex for you to wrap your head around.

Did the old Vikings braid their hair before they went into battle????

Oh, and even the Lions have four, although the last one was in 1957.

What the heck is the difference? Well, at least it’s not just a big dumb old “C” or “G”.

It still looks like a logo for a team that can’t win the big game.

Yay, the team you watch on TV has more championships than the team I watch on TV!

Let’s get new uniforms, too! The Vikings uniforms suck! Every fan knows it. We play in the NFC North. We don’t need these crappy new designs. We need to go back to the gray facemasks and the dark purple. Classic look like the rest of our division.

@purplepunisher

Funny your analysis ends at “playoff appearances” because that’s where the viking’s best seasons end, with a playoff appearance.

It’s about championships:

Packers – 13
Vikings – 0

thats right purpleguy. No big G or C. Of course those teams have a combined 5 “V’s” in Super Bowls. How many does Norseman have?

Why do all these Packer trolls keep trying to put down silly little comments on every Vikings post?

They know their few years of winning the division is over. The Packers are dropping like a rock while the Vikings young talented players are rising like the sun.

It’s more bold and user-friendly to manufacture. The biggest difference is the horns which now look like the ones on the helmets that were tweaked a few years ago…

should just have a picture of ragnar or whoever that biker guy is… only good mascot in the nfl tbh.

Having him choking would have been a more fitting depiction of the Vikings over their ‘storied’ existence.

At least the team w/the G on the side of our helmet has won 4 Super Bowls to your ZERO. Vikings 0-4 in the SB. There’s your logo

This is GREAT! As a graphic designer, I’ve always thought the Norseman was lacking somehow – and this enhancement hits the mark perfectly. Great, great job, whoever did it.

And now I can’t wait to see the new uniforms … back to something more similar to what they had before the unfortunate change to the silly outfits they’ve worn here recently. Maybe like what they had in ’98, with slightly wider stripes on the pants maybe?

Scrolling through and thought, “I love their logo,” before noticing the headline said they changed it. They changed it?

@generalherald

I think you put more effort into that than the graphic designers put into the “tweaked” logo.
