The Minnesota Vikings released their 2025 schedule , and there are a lot of really interesting storylines coming out of it. Of all those, the first one is quarterback J.J. McCarthy will make his National Football League debut on Monday Night Football.

With the schedule release, one thing that each team does is put together a unique schedule video. It's a fun way to interact with the fanbase and create something really cool for everyone to enjoy.

Vikings offer fans permanent gift with schedule release

Every year, each team has a video for the schedule release. The Los Angleles Chargers have one of the best schedule release videos each season. This year, the Vikings took theirs up a notch.

The theme year was about scars fading, but the schedule being permanent. It was exactly what you think it was.

Pretty cool video and concept for the Vikings right? What really took this to another level was the Vikings offering everyone free Vikings tattoos on Thursday, May 15th at a tattoo shop in Minneapolis.

Free #Vikings tats, get them while they last!

Thursday, May 15th | 12 p.m. - till they're gone!

You can be excited about the schedule release and planning what games you want to go to and get a free tattoo for your efforts. That's one heck of a gift from the Vikings to the fanbase, and arguably the first of its kind.

This is one reason why the Vikings are among the best organizations in the NFL.
