The Vikings will begin their 63rd regular season at home on Sept. 10, in uniforms resembling the ones they wore in their first two decades.
On Tuesday afternoon, the team unveiled classic purple uniforms in the style of its jersey from the 1960s and 70s. The Vikings will wear the uniforms for their first regular-season game against Tampa Bay at U.S. Bank Stadium, and will have the option to wear the jerseys in future years.
The uniforms, announced to season ticket-holders in an event with fullback C.J. Ham and Hall of Fame quarterback Fran Tarkenton, feature a deeper shade of purple, white-and-gold sleeve stripes, gold trim accents and lettering in the style of the team's first uniforms.
