This week’s theme week among the SB Nation NFL blogs has to do with jerseys and mascots. We’ll have something jersey-related coming up tomorrow, but for now I wanted to take a look at the long and illustrious history of Minnesota Vikings’ mascots over the years. They’ve had quite a few, and a couple have had pretty interesting stories.
Many of the older generation of Vikings fans will likely remember Hub Meeds, who was the Vikings’ first mascot. Meeds made his debut as the Vikings’ mascot at Super Bowl IV back in 1970, and did so pretty much entirely by accident.
