According to multiple sources, the Minnesota Vikings will unveil their new “Winter Whiteout” alternate uniforms this Friday, June 7.
We caught our first glimpse of Minnesota’s new jerseys from former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown’s social media network, CTESPN, back in April when he also leaked the New York Giants’ “Century Red” throwback jerseys.
They feature purple numbers with a silver stroke and icicles hanging from the digits, which do not include sails, as well as silver and purple sleeve stripes that match the design of their home purple and white road jerseys.
There’s also a new “Vikings” wordmark on the chest, which could be a hint of a change to come, a la the Philadelphia Eagles updating their wordmark in 2022 but having to wait two years before they could change it on their uniforms.
The jerseys will be worn during Minnesota’s annual “Winter Whiteout” in December, and multiple sources have indicated they will be paired with white pants and a new white alternate helmet that has been in the works for the last two years.
The white helmet will only be considered the Vikings’ second helmet, as they’ll simply swap the decals and facemasks on their standard purple lids when they once again wear their “Purple People Eater” throwback uniforms in two games this year.
Other teams set to unveil new alternate helmets this offseason include the Baltimore Ravens, Green Bay Packers and Jacksonville Jaguars, who will also unveil 1990s throwback uniforms.
According to our sources, the Ravens’ helmet will be purple, while the Packers and Jaguars’ helmets will be white. It’s not yet clear when they’ll be revealed, though, so stay tuned.
