The very talented Drawplaydave has done a series imagining what would happen if NFL team logos were made more Canadian. The results are highly creative and very funny. In Drawplaydave’s Canadianizing hands, The Minnesota Vikings’ Norseman logo comes out looking a little closer to Dudley Do-Right.

The Packers logo is transformed into…I guess a plate of poutine with cheese?

The Bears logo is…still a bear. But a different kind of bear. A more Canadian bear?

And then there’s the Lions logo. The Detroit Beavers?

Of course the Vikings and Canada have lots of great historic connections. Legendary Vikings coach Bud Grant got his start with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the CFL, and Vikings Super Bowl QB Joe Kapp also began his career up north.

In recent years the Vikings have taken flyers on multiple CFL players including receiver Manny Arceneaux, linebacker Solomon Elimimian and cornerback Rod Williams. This year the Vikes are loaded with CFL guys: LB Brian Peters, DE Caesar Rayford and CB Jalil Carter all spent time in Canada before latching on with Minnesota. The Vikes of course also tried out former CFL WR Duron Carter but the son of Cris Carter ultimately signed with Indianapolis.
One of these days, one of these CFL guys is actually going to catch on with the team and do something.
