Ranking the Minnesota Vikings 2024 Uniform Options

The Minnesota Vikings 2024 season is upon us. The team has a new quarterback, in Sam Darnold, and a number of other changes, especially on defense. But the Vikings are unveiling more than just new personnel this season. They have new uniforms, too.

Their new Winter Warrior threads offer more white than we have ever seen on a Vikings uniform, including a white helmet. We won’t see them debut until week 15, in the middle of December, vs the Chicago Bears. All together, the Minnesota Vikings will have four different jersey options this season, how do they rank?

6. Road White + White Pants

Having been the road jersey for the Minnesota Vikings since the 2013 season, these uniforms are pretty standard at this point. A white jersey is certainly clean, but there’s just nothing exciting here. That’s not a bad thing, given the conservative nature of the uniform, but it’s not going to turn heads either.

The purple helmet does pair nicely with this offering, and going to a matte look was a good decision. This will be the first uniform the Vikings rock during the 2024 season.

Typically white pants are paired best with a whiteout look. That will be true for the Winter Warrior uniforms in 2024. White on white is a very popular, and clean, look for the Vikings. They definitely show all of the wear that takes place on the field during a game, but no one ever scoffed at some grass stains on a football jersey. The subtle striping used by Minnesota is a great accent to the white pants.

5. Road White + Purple Pants

If wearing the road white jersey, the color splash of purple on the bottom pairs well with the purple lid. The Vikings broke out a matte version of their helmet and it pairs well with the swatch used for the uniform. This could be a combination seen most routinely for the Vikings when wearing the road uniform this year in an effort to further differentiate from the Winter Warrior scheme.

4. Home Purple + Purple Pants

The purple pants are almost always matched with a white top. That wasn’t the case when Minnesota wore their color rush uniform a couple of years ago. I’m a fan of purple over white, but give the priority to the uniform top being the dominant color. The Vikings haven’t consistently done a complete purple look, but now have a few more options to cycle through in 2024.

3. Home Purple + White Pants

Another staple, it’s hard to get away with doing too much or suggesting anything groundbreaking. The purple matches the matte helmet well. It has become synonymous with the franchise throughout the league.

Something a bit more flashy could be fun. We have seen so many teams fail on that front, so it’s fine that the Vikings continue to play it safe. A bit more yellow on this offering, or a slight amount of black, could set it off.

2. Purple Throwbacks + White Pants

With a predominantly purple colorway, the Vikings could open their home slate by wearing this jersey. This jersey made it’s debut last season. The Bud Grant patch on the chest is a very nice touch, and finding a way to modernize a jersey that is 50 years old was executed upon perfectly.

Although a Super Bowl has continued to elude the franchise, these classic uniforms bring back memories from some of the Vikings best seasons. As an alternate uniform, sprinkling these in more than a couple of times this year would be welcomed.

Unlike the Twins City Connect uniforms, the Minnesota Vikings unveiled a fresh option that was almost universally praised. While the road white uniforms bring up the rear here, adding silver and a white helmet elevate these to an entirely new level.

It’s unfortunate they will only be worn once this season, but there is no question that fans will flock to their nearest retailer to get their hands on them. A clean look with a sleek design, it’s hard not to suggest that the Vikings didn’t just drop one of the best jerseys in the league.
