Time for a new mascot?

I believe Ragnar is looking a little too ragged.
13 years has been a pretty good run for Juranitch, but with a new coach, new uniforms, and a new D, maybe it's time for a new mascot.
What do you think?

I would still go with Ragnar.
He has looked ragged since day one.

is there such a thing as a non ragged viking?

You can't F with tradition, he's been there as long as i can remember (of course my memory doesn't go back that far and is a little foggy at times) but he's always been there cheering this team on. Just like when there were mumbles of the horns being taken off or really messed with on the helmets, you just can't mess with tradition.
I'm sure he's got to be getting up there in age, but i'm sure we could get someone that looks enough like him, grow there beard and stomach out if need be and keep that tradition alive

I miss CRAZY GEORGE.

I think our mascot is fine the way it is.
Just gotta' get used to the new uni's.
Not too bad though.

**Chad8970** · 09-22-2006, 08:06 AM

I agree, just leave it alone.
He'll look a lot better in a new stadium.

Get rid of Ragnar? Are you kidding me? The vikings easily have the best mascot in the NFL. Everyone else's is a puffy animal. We have a real viking dude up there swinging his axe around and riding a kick ass motorcycle around the stadium. You can't beat that.
