KEEP THE HORNS PETITION
As most of you already know, the Vikings are in the process of working on new uniforms. What we don't know yet is what these new uniforms are going to look like. As of right now, the front office has not released any information on the proposed changes, the graphic design firm that they are working with on the changes or even an idea of what the composite ideas might be.
Last week, a rumor began to circulate around the fan base about these changes including a switch from the horned helmets to a design that would feature the norseman head logo on the side of the helmet instead. Now there is nothing solid as of right now to prove that this is even a possibility, but the proposition of it is alarming enough for most fans to warrant a petition against it. At best, this idea is not in the plans, at worst, it is a possible change in the works and this petition, while premature, will hit the ground running before the idea can ever blossom into a possibility.
Fans that have spoken and are vehemently against a change to the helmet design. Or at the very least, a change that would remove the horns completely. As such, we are asking any fans that agree that the removal of the horns to be a mistake to sign the following petition:

I would like to highlight one comment on the petition that I thought really summed up what a professional sports team is to the fans.
Nathan Eberhart - "Really wish they would ask the fan's because we are the Vikings just as much as the owner, and management."
My feeling exactly, if owners expect a city or state to get behind a team and support them, they need to realize that the fans will identify with the team on a near familial level. We should have just as much input into major changes as management because the team means just as much to us as it does to them. Great job Nathan.
