The Minnesota Vikings are breaking out an old-school look for the 2023 season. On Tuesday, the team revealed the “Viking Classic” throwback uniforms for the upcoming year.



Minnesota unveiled the classic look in a <a href="https://twitter.com/Vikings/status/1681350037975056398" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">video released</a> on social media. The uniform pays homage to the jerseys the Vikings wore in the 1960s and 1970s.

<a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/category/nfl/news/">NFL</a> fans won’t have to wait to see these uniforms back on the field, either. The Vikings will sport this classic look for their Week 1 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 



Minnesota hosts Tampa on Sunday, Sept. 10 with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET and the game airing on CBS.



Per the <a href="https://www.vikings.com/news/2023-classic-jerseys-week-1-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">team’s website</a>, the “Classic Viking” uniform features a “deeper Purple hue than the modern jersey.” Other features include “large numbers with traditional slab serif font and gold trim. Sleeves feature the original classic striping.”



The team also made these old-school uniforms available for purchase. So, if you’re a fan of the look, you’ll be able to sport the classic uniform on gameday.

In other Vikings news, star wide receiver <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/justin-jefferson-142251/">Justin Jefferson</a> got some big news in the world of video games. He <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/news/minnesota-vikings-wr-lsu-justin-jefferson-joins-prestigious-99-club-for-madden-24/">joined Madden’s 99</a> club after receiving the incredible rating for the 2024 edition of the classic game.



Jefferson was the first player to be announced as a member of the club for this year’s video game. He seemed pretty excited after learning of the news.



“Y’all have no idea what it means to be a 99 in Madden!!” Jefferson <a href="https://twitter.com/JJettas2/status/1680950799524937729?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tweeted</a>. “Since I was 7y/o I been creating my own player making him a 99 and now I don’t have to (mind blown emojis).”



Jefferson ranked second among all NFL wide receivers in short, medium and deep route running categories.



Last season, Jefferson was named the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year. He hauled in 128 catches for 1,809 yards and eight touchdowns for the Vikings. He led the league in receptions and receiving yards.



Over the course of his career, Jefferson has exceeded the 1,000-yard receiving mark all three years. He’s earned a Pro Bowl selection every year, as well. In total, the former <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/lsu-tigers/">LSU</a> superstar racked up 4,825 yards and 25 touchdowns on 324 catches.



Without question, Jefferson earned his 99 rating for the Madden 24 video game. Now, the pressure is on to produce another big season in 2023 so he can keep that rating for next year’s version, as well.
