Uniforms, not the styling but the functionality.

Is it me, or do the new uniforms seem to have a week collar?

In the 2 pre-season games, it seems like the players are always trying to fix the collars of the uniforms that have been pulled over the shoulder pads. I did not remember noticing it this much in the past, and the other teams do not seem to have this problem as much as the Vikings do. I mean I have seen it happen, but the frequency this year seems more.

You are not the only one that has noticed, it seems that on every play somebodies shoulder pad is hanging out the top.

On a side note (I am not a fan of the new uni's) but I really liked the purple pants on the road.

Seen it a few times (both TV games), I think it's nothing.

Like the away uni's with purple pants also. The strip on the side of the pants is a bit strange however, guess I'll get used to it. Black shoes make them look slow however.

I hadn't noticed, but now that you mention it, I do remember a lot of players with the shoulder pad out.Hope that doens't get too annoying for them.

I wasn't sure how the purple pants would look on the road, but after seeing them I decided that I love the away unis.
I think they look sharp.
I wish I could see them in person though... they looked too blue on TV, althought I know that is more of an issue with digitizing the color for broadcast.

The new Uni's are pimpin.
I love them and can't wait to purchase my D. Sharper Jersey here in the near future.
Being that we just had our first child money is tight.

The baby doesn't really need any clothes their first year.
Buy the jersey.

I think the stripe on the side of the pants is a Viking horn -- a styalized version of the horns on the helmet.

I think so too. Looking at the photo below, I think the area around the shoulder is also horn-like. This photo gave me a newfound appreciation for the new uniforms, at least the away suits:
