Ehh not my favorite. The purple throwbacks are still the best

They were ok. Didn't dislike them, but they were missing something. Personally, I'd rather see a Randy era throwback instead of them.

I'm not in the demographic for those, the only non traditional I like is the all purple.

Nope. We have the best unis in the NFL, whereas those all look alike except in close-ups.

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

Thought they were terrible, took away from the home game feel. On some of the wider camera shots, kept thinking the Bears with the Vikes from the dark uniforms and helmets. I hope we can move on from this silly Disney like promotion, but the greedy NFL will keep pushing it.

Is it just me or does every teams throwback uni's look absolutely incredible? Titans wearing the old school Oiler unis, Seahawks with the blue jerseys and silver helmets, Eagles in the Kelly green, Tampa in the Creamsicles, Vikings in the royal purple, hell even the Jaguars with the aqua jerseys look awesome. Every team should go back to wearing these. Some of the greatest uni's in the history of football.

I think they look cooler in a promo (closeup) than they did on the TV. Too much white, they needed something distinguishing to set them off.

They made me think i was watching a prison team. They looked cheap and uninspired. Burn them and never speak of them again except as a marketing warning for future dumb ideas and bad designs. I have to think they will be on clearance racks almost immediately.

I should add, i was at the game and thought they looked like shit, some said they looked OK on TV. I did hear some people asking why they used blue instead of purple for the accents and when i looked closer it did indeed seem blue.

Looks like I'm in the minority here. I do like them, and I like the whole premise of a winter whiteout game. For one game a year I don't think it's a big issue at all. But I do agree that the classic throwbacks need to make at least one appearance a year.

Looked like a baptism! Should of painted the horns purple. Could not see them from a distance. I don't really care what they wear. Just want them to win.

I don't think I thought about them once, other than to wonder how much it must cost for teams to have 5 or 6 different uniforms. The helmet alone is about $1,000.

Yeah I liked the concept more than the actual unis. With some refinement, an annual Winter Whiteout Game could become very marketable. Maybe tie in pregame or halftime hockey entertainment somehow.

But none of the throwbacks bother me. It's either those are fine go Vikings or hey, those are pretty cool. I'm sure some Vikings fans were excited to buy them. Good for them.
