    Vikings purple

    Over the years the TV rarely shows the Vikings uniforms as purple. They usually look more like a blue. It isn’t a TV setting issue as logos on the field and in the production are correct. There are even times when the helmets look right but the jerseys don’t.

    In today’s game everything is right. Anyone else have this issue?

    I’m a Minnesota resident and I can’t hardly watch them, Minnesota teams ALWAYS choke and let their fans down. We are however “Minnesota Nice” and still build them stadiums and buy tickets.... Rant over

    Jerseys always look purple to me

    Probably the lighting is different at each stadium.

    If not mistaken, it was "Purple People Eaters" with Jim Marshall, Alan Page, et al. and not 'Lapis Luzuli/Sapphire Defensemen'

    I don’t see them a lot so I figured it has something to do with lighting and cameras. I should add that it doesn’t matter which TV in the house I have the game on. Maybe it is something with the signal from Comcast.

    Well now this is interesting. I usually have problems with the Ravens uniforms looking purple. Today they are correct also. Must be Comcast. I know that they made some upgrades recently.

    A good smack on the tv should straighten that color right up

    As a Vikings fan and one who was at the 2009 NFC Championship game i can say we were robbed. They called some absolutely horrible BS calls on the Vikings in that game. One in particular was against my BIL B. Leber for pass interference that resulted in a 1st down eventually leading to a score. Farve was beat to shit the whole game too which should have resulted in roughing the passer calls. When Farve came out of the locker room it was amazing that dude was some what walking. To see that ankle first hand was amazing he was able to move.
