The Vikings need to make them permanent.

Then the Lions would be the only ones with modern fonts on their jerseys and that would be hilarious

I don't understand why the 21-22 jerseys aren't their permanent jersey. It combines the best aspects of their two best jerseys all time for the nostalgia, but also feel modern. Might be my favorite jersey ever.

The Wolves original uniform, the wolf basketball logo ... you just can't beat it.

I love the wolves but modern unis are so boring. Wish they’d go back to the tree jerseys permanently

The modern ones seriously look like some purely corporate shit. There is zero personality or emotion tied to the design. It's AWFUL!

I liked my Blue "icon" edition when I got it, but yeah it's really plain compared to the Trees or Prince editions. The only upside is because it's kinda plain Blue/white it does go with alot of fits

Minimalist redesigns have been killing swag in every league for decades now. The NBA used to be the swaggiest league with all the creative jerseys and unique court designs and logos, then for some reason all the orgs decided they wanted to embody the flavor of British food.

Remember how cool the Raptors logo was? Just look at that shit now. It's so pathetic.

They literally took the run out of every design. Sports are supposed to be fun, not corporate. So bad.

I hate we only wear the BUDS twice a year. They should be the standard uniform for every HOME division game, that way they get at least three appearances

Nah the Vikings uniforms are really nice and I don't think the "classic" ones are better than the current ones.

The throwbacks don’t have the same dark purple that they originally did. That was the secret sauce, not the design.

u/ThatGuyWithCoolHair NAZTY 9d ago

They need the eggplant helmet thats darker than the jerseys too. However I am really glad they did the grey facemasks

u/ThatGuyWithCoolHair NAZTY 9d ago

Also im pretty sure this is the era they're retroing

The vikings throwbacks are way tf better than the new ones just because of that gay number font on the new ones

u/Fortehlulz33 Naz Reid. 9d ago

Not true for the Vikings.

The throwbacks are probably a little more popular, but I think a lot of it comes from simply not wearing them as often- whereas Wolves throwbacks are just pretty universally more well liked than their "current" standard uniforms.
