It might be time for the Vikings to bring back a throwback jersey. Some players and fans think so

Throughout the 2020 offseason, three teams will have come out with new jersey concepts.

The Buccaneers and Falcons have come out with new uniforms, and the Colts came out with an alternate logo. The Browns are unveiling a new uniform Wednesday, according to cleveland.com.

New players will be arriving after the draft, people are desperately missing sports and the main way to shop is through online websites. The aforementioned teams changing their uniforms has been a nice distraction during these times, and it might not be a bad idea for the Vikings to do the same. 

On Monday night, ESPN reran the 2009 Vikings vs Packers game where Brett Favre took down his former team for the first time. Some Vikings players and fans took to Twitter, talking about how much they liked the throwback jerseys that were used that night in the Metrodome. 

Wide receiver Adam Thielen also got his take out there, by retweeting Rudolph’s tweet with the fire emoji and a thumbs up. 

If the Vikings were to bring back their throwbacks, the all white concept should strongly be considered as well. The current jerseys have an extremely clean look to them, but that shouldn’t stop the team from considering the throwback uniforms. The timing seems too perfect, and the designers would be able to consider giving the throwbacks a touch of modernization as well.

It is clear that some Vikings players have interest in bringing these jerseys back, and it would give the fanbase something to look forward to. If there were ever a time to release new jerseys, now seems as good of a time as any.
