The Vikings Classic is back for at least one more game in 2023
The Minnesota Vikings brought back arguably the best throwback in the National Football League this season and they are going to wear them once again.
The team announced that the Vikings will be wearing them for the second time this season against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football.
The jerseys have been massive sellers for the Vikings and been extremely popular with fans. The uniforms derive from the 1962 jerseys, which were as the name says, a classic look. The team modified them for this season and they now have one of the best throwbacks in the league.
Enjoy Vikings fans, you get to see them one more time this season.
The Minnesota Vikings unveiled their new throwback jersey dubbed The Vikings Classic and Twitter universally loves it
The Minnesota Vikings unveiled a new throwback uniform dubbed “The Vikings Classic” on Tuesday afternoon during a virtual call with season ticket holders.
The response to the new uniforms has everyone excited, as they invoke the best memories from the Purple People Eaters and the Randy Moss era Vikings.
From fans to players and media, here are the best reactions to the new uniforms being unveiled.
The Vikings unveiled their newest throwback jersey “The Vikings Classic” a direct throwback to the 1962 era Vikings jerseys.
For the first time since the 2011 season, the Minnesota Vikings will be wearing a throwback uniform. In a virtual event with season-ticket holders on Tuesday afternoon, C.J. Ham showed off the uniform, called the “Vikings Classic,” a tribute to the 1962 Vikings uniform.
The team will debut them in the season opener Sunday, Sept. 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Vikings’ last throwback jerseys, worn by the team in 2011, were a throwback to the 1970s Purple People Eaters.
The difference is the gold trim. The numbers are outlined in gold, something that you saw with the Randy Moss-era uniforms of the late 1990s and early 2000s. The shoulder pattern was lower on the arm back in 1962, but the design is the same. The one similarity between these and the last throwback the Vikings wore was the gray facemask.
These will for sure debut in Week 1, but that likely won’t be the last time they are worn this season. All in all, these are beautiful.
