Vikings announce three-game alternate jersey schedule for 2025

The Vikings will wear alternate jerseys for three home games in the 2025 season, they announced on Thursday. Their 'Vikings Classic' throwbacks will be broken out twice, and they're also bringing back the 'Winter Warrior' look that they debuted late last year.

They'll first wear the classic throwbacks in a primetime game that happens to be their home opener. That'll be in Week 2, when the Atlanta Falcons come to U.S. Bank Stadium for Sunday Night Football. Hall of Famer Jared Allen will be honored at halftime of that game.

The jerseys will be worn a second time in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Green Bay Packers, which does not yet have a set date or kickoff time. The Vikings are 1-2 so far in their classic uniforms, which debuted in 2023. They lost to the Buccaneers in the '23 opener and to the Bears in Week 12 of that season on a Monday night. However, they got their first win in the jerseys in dominant fashion last season, crushing the Texans 34-7 in Week 3.

The classic uniforms pay tribute to the team's look in its early days and for much of its history. The jerseys and pants feature a thicker stripe on the side, and the grey facemasks on the helmets are a nice touch.
