To: Minnesota Vikings
This petition is not only for loyal Minnesota Viking fans everywhere who want to preserve respectability in their favorite team, but also for football fans of all teams who want to preserve the great traditions of the NFL.
For those of us who are life-long Viking fans, this change is completely unnecessary. We have grown up with great pride in the look of our team and to change that look is to test our loyalty and forever sever a memorable link to our childhood. Have you ever heard anyone complain about the old uniforms? Never. Because they were among the best in the NFL. Now we are the butt of jokes from ESPN analysts and fans around the country. Viking fans are among the most loyal fans in all of the NFL, but that is no reason to test our loyalty. Please go back to the old uniforms now and restore Purple Pride to Vikings fans everywhere. Thank you in advance for doing the right thing.Sincerely,
« Sola Basebalia | Main | The Thrill is gone »

No reason to change tradition WHATSOEVER!
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water! Call the new uniforms an unfortunate 'bump in the road'.

totally agree, when Nike makes new uniforms in 2012, they should go back to the throwback uniforms a bit. Look alot better!!!!
