We know Minnesota sports fans are currently tortured by logo redesigns, and are still questioning whether the spiffy new Twins jerseys really had to come with a cap logo that’s got the whole baseball universe thinking, “…Miami Marlins?”

But hear us out. We’re not saying the Vikings should change their iconic logo. We’re just saying that, if they ever were to change their iconic Norseman head, the result should probably look something like this.

TikTok user @emilymorgancreates took the Minnesota Vikings’ “M” and “V” and molded them into something approaching their current iconography.

You’ve got to stick with tradition, but anyone claiming this would be a brutal alternate is telling on themselves. It’s legitimately good.

Minnesota Vikings fans might like fan-made redesigned logo

Who knows? Maybe a new logo for a new quarterback?

You know, after whoever he is learns for a full season under Kirk Cousins. Embracing change might be a solid way to usher in the new era.

The Vikings’ current logo has been in place, unchanged, since 2013, but you’d have to have history’s keenest eye to discern the changes between the “refreshed” 2013 version and the classic Vikings logo that ran from 1966-2012. Whichever design firm bilked the Vikings’ ownership group out of money on that one … kudos to you. It’s like the Pam Beesly meme. No, we cannot help corporate and tell you the difference between these two pictures. Slightly more exaggerated eye wrinkles? More aggressive unseen thoughts?

The Vikings logo you know and love isn’t going anywhere, but if @emilymorgancreates could somehow get clearance to sell her own merch, it wouldn’t be a bad tailgate sweatshirt for early Sept.

As for the helmet logos? Don’t change a thing. Possibly the best helmet in sports.

The Vikings’ look is basically set in stone, unlike the roster. Maybe @emilymorgancreates should get to work redesigning that, too.
