The Minnesota Vikings are one of the few teams that Nike vastly improved with a re-design. It was always a shame that Reebok used a modern template (with an overuse of piping) with an older team like the Vikings. The current uniforms blend the modern (numbers, updated horn logo, matte purple helmet) with the classic (sleeve and pants stripes) and is one of the better uniforms in the NFL.

The St. Louis Rams are expected to wear their monochrome, all navy look. While the Rams helmet is one of the best in sports, and I love the shoulder stripes on their jerseys, there is a little too much navy blue. I also miss the old bright gold from the 90s.

This is one of the better match ups this week. Even with the above mentioned flaws, the Rams still have a great uniform set. Combined with the outstanding look of the Vikings, this match up comes in at number 4 this week.
