Kind of reminds me of ordering food at a restaurant that comes out of the kitchen looking, smelling and tasting absolutely awful and the people sitting next to you look at it and then order it.

yep, I was at that game last year,  those unis were shit IMO,  but yet people were standing in line buying them up.  likely to never be worn again.

How was the vibe at that game, it could be just me, but it didn't seem like the typical home game without the Vikes in their purple.

for a prime time game it seemed pretty lame,  but sometimes you just end up in a boring section.  I was with customers so I had to kind of keep it in check myself,  but it seemed like the energy was off all night from the fans.

I got a road jersey for tailgating,  those damn purple jerseys are to friggin hot standing on asphalt in early fall sun... usually end up peeling it off though when eating so it doesnt end up with a big smear of sauce or mustard down the front.

It seemed like it from watching on TV, just didn't seem like the crowd was into it, I just wonder if the whole white out thing kind of dulls the energy in the crowd, they tried it a few times now, sold some jerseys, time to move on and let us have a typical home game, but greedy NFL has to try to sell as many additional jerseys that they can.

Not sure a color of a jersey would cause the crowd to be dead or not into it. Seems like an out there take. If people dont like them fine. Hard to believe that it impacted the crowd or the energy lol

I dont know what it was,  but there didn't seem to be the same energy at that game,  im not saying it had anything to do with the jersey color,  but I will say it didn't feel like a home game atmosphere for a prime time game.

Chatgpt - 
"Colors are a form of electromagnetic energy, with each color corresponding to a specific range of wavelengths and frequencies. These properties determine the energy carried by light; violet light has higher energy (shorter wavelength) than red light (longer wavelength). This energy can be absorbed by molecules to cause electron shifts and can influence moods and behavior through psychological effects"

"The color of a jersey can have a psychological effect on a stadium of people, influencing how spectators perceive the players and how fans interact with each other. The psychological and social impact of color adds an extra layer to the experience of a sporting event, affecting emotions, unity, and perceptions."

Colors are all about energy, walk into a restaurant with bright colors or one with duller colors and dim lights and it doesn't affect your mood? One gives more of a festive vide the other more chill.  The thing I feel that makes a big difference for the Vikes is for home games you are use to the wave of purple, it is an energy that goes through the stadium and now you shift that to not only white uniforms, but everyone in the crowd is wearing white it just totally changes the environment everyone is use to. Also, the purple jersey is really the one I feel we are most attached to as  whether or not you are there or watching from home, the home games have a more exciting feel.  I can feel a difference just when we wear the throwbacks, feels like it kicks the energy up. Not everyone may be attuned to the effects of colors, but I feel most are.

Bland and boring but I am not a fan of all white uniforms
