See the below video on the Viking’s official website. The answer is that they were an expansion franchise in 1961 looking for a bold, unique look for their Custom Minnesota Vikings Peanuts ‘Most Wonderful Time’ Holiday Hoodie and uniforms; they became the only team to wear purple. The secondary color (gold) was selected to reflect Minnesota’s Scandinavian heritage. Evolution Of Vikings Colors. As an aside, it’s worth noting that the Minneapolis Lakers (which moved to Los Angeles after the 1960 season) had light blue and gold as their colors, not purple and gold, so the color choice by the Vikings was not a copycat move.

I don’t dislike the Vikings and their fans. I assume there’s a good reason for them — upbringing, the old catchy song “Purple People Eater,” lack of other entertainment options — so naturally my heart goes out to them. And frankly I too know the problems of irrational sports loyalty: I’m an Oakland Raiders fan with a long admiration for the Packers. I think it is too early to know. He performed well above the standards we set for him; I think that’s fair to say. But it is still unclear if he is a championship caliber QB. He very quietly became one of the best rookie QBs last year, probably second behind Bortles. I think Bortles’ potential is much higher, but Teddy did have a better record in a clearly better division (Packers, Lions, Bears vs Colts, Texans, Titans; NFC North is clearly better). Do I believe he will be better than Bortles? No, and I would still say Bortles is better right now, even if the record doesn’t indicate such. Teddy played well but I honestly have no idea how much better he will be. My best guess is he will become a solid QB on the caliber of a guy like Carson Palmer or Alex Smith. They’re good players, but they need the right talent around them to make it work. And we have seen Carson and Alex play on very good teams when the situation is right (Alex: 2011-12 with 49ers, Carson: last season with Cardinals, and I still believe the Cardinals would’ve gone to the super bowl if Carson were healthy. Surely would’ve won the division and home field throughout playoffs). In the end, it’s too soon to say for Teddy. I don’t believe he has earned the right to have his name on Custom Minnesota Vikings Peanuts ‘Most Wonderful Time’ Holiday Hoodie as a “franchise QB” yet, but I believe he should definitely be the starter entering next year.

Several things conspired to result in this trade: The Eagles were using Bradford as a 1 year placeholder once they drafted Carson Wentz with the 2nd pick of the 2016 draft. Having Bradford for this year allowed them to bring Wentz along slowly. The apparent intention was to trade Bradford after the season. The better Bradford played, the more valuable he would be. If he struggled or got hurt, they had both Daniels and Wentz backing him up. Bradford’s performance last year, especially over the last 8 games, was almost equal to Bridgewaters. The Eagles had already paid Bradford $11 million of his 2 year $36 mil contract. Wentz has impressed the coaching staff and his teammates with his progress and even with a rib injury, is apparently way ahead of the development schedule the Eagles expected. Teddy Bridgewater had a severe knee injury late in preseason. The Vikings are build around a great defense and a great running game. Consequently, they don’t need their QB to carry the team on his back. They need a QB that will protect the football and keep the opposing defense honest. The vikings, with Bridgewater, were a legitimate playoff team and a threat to potentially make it to the SB. Without Bridgewater, their upside was reduced. The vikings just moved into a brand new stadium and their fanbase was very excited to buy new Custom Minnesota Vikings Peanuts ‘Most Wonderful Time’ Holiday Hoodie. Relying on a no-name QB really reduced the enthusiasm. Bradford’s QB coach at one time was Pat Shurmur, the TE coach of the Vikings. He apparently vouched for Bradfords intelligence, work ethic and capability & convinced the Vikings that he could learn Norv Turners offense quickly.
