The dolphin logo looks like it's sleeping. Or has just been clubbed.

I like the idea, would like to see it in motion. Could have chosen a better front color no doubt but I'll give them a slight pass being the first gradient helmet.

Maybe the gradients are different on each side. I don't know. The one posted earlier now looks a little on the Photoshopped side.

Boosh! posted:Maybe the gradients are different on each side. I don't know. The one posted earlier now looks a little on the Photoshopped side. It might have just been a draft or something. The paint on it looks like poo poo. Like it's not finished. Either way, even with the steady gradient, what the gently caress. Your logo on a background the same color as your logo never works.

It looks a lot better than that other pic, but it still looks like something went wrong in the process of painting instead of a deliberate artistic choice. There looks to be a lot less black. Just make the drat helmet all Gold you morons.

Have the gradient be 50/50 at the start of the season. For every game over .500, the gold takes up more and more of the helmet. For every game under .500, the black takes over. Continuously remind the players that they own/suck/are mediocre and deserve terrible helmets.

Images of the Vikings home and road uniforms from Nike's site have leaked. You can view them here if you want, but the official unveiling is in a little over two hours, so you may just want to wait for that. The uniforms look better in the detailed pictures. Still not sure what to think about the sail serifs on the first numbers. It does have a tendency to create a whale tail effect between the two numbers. Maybe that's an homage to Norwegian whalers, but I'm still hoping that they'll silently get rid of that serif in a year or two.

Here's confirmation that the uniforms were inspired by longboats:quote:Nike designers worked closely with Viking athletes, coaches and administration to truly understand what makes a Viking – researching the roots of traditional ancient Viking culture and the characteristics that define the current Vikings football team. They also have their uniform page up now, which contains spoilers for anyone waiting for the reveal. Link.

Huh, I actually kinda like what they are doing with the Serifs. They are using it sort of to contour the negative space between the numbers. It's a neat effect, but I don't think I prefer it over the normal versions. With this and the Jags jersey it feels like Nike is trying to make the numbers a shape in and of themselves. Shapes that lead into each other. I respect what they are trying, even if I don't think it's quite successful. The Jags angular versions looked better.

Ugh, I hate marketingspeak. Anyway, I think it's fine to base some of the uniform on the theme of the team name, but when you start trying to shoehorn too many theme elements into one uniform is starts to look silly. In this case, the number font is overdoing it.

The ship effect works better with the top shoulder stripes I think. The number serif is the only thing I don't like and it's not nearly ostentatious enough to take away from the overall package for the home jerseys. Now about those pants...

They do have a purple on purple combo. I'm probably the only person who like those, but only for very occasional use. Also, it looks the negative space between the numbers can either be a longship or the bow of a ship depending on the numbers. I guess the sleeve design is more of a sail than the serif on the leading number. It can also look like a whale tail. I guess the designer wanted to play with pareidoliaor something.

I didn't think the serifs were that bad until I saw the 69. That looks like garbage.
