The Minnesota Vikings have been a historically great franchise over the years, but no era of Vikings football saw more success than that of the late 1960s through the 1970s. Those defenses under legendary head coach Bud Grant played hard-nosed, physical football that dominated the league for years.
While those Vikings never achieved the ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl, they appeared in four of them, and those years are considered the glory days of the Vikings franchise.
As a result, for 2023, the team has announced that they will be honoring those teams by playing in classic throwback uniforms inspired by those worn in the early years of the franchise’s history.
