When the Minnesota Vikings head out west in Week 8 of the upcoming 2025 season for a primetime Thursday night matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, a new uniform will be making its on-field debut.
However, it won't be the Vikings debuting a new uniform in the contest. Instead, the Chargers will be taking the field in their new "Super Chargers" uniforms that they revealed to the public on Tuesday.

Los Angeles Chargers will debut new alternate uniform against Minnesota Vikings in 2025
The primetime showdown between Minnesota and Los Angeles already had a ton of intrigue surrounding it since it will be the first NFL matchup between former Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy and former Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh. But the Chargers' debuting their new uniform just made it even more of a must-watch contest.
Similar to the modern throwback that the Vikings debuted in 2023, Los Angeles's new "Super Chargers" uniform is a mix of both the present and the past.
"Dubbed the Super Chargers uniform, the new threads are comprised of an all-navy set that includes a modernized helmet (with the identical finish of the previous era), jersey and pants that the Chargers will wear at home in Week 8 against the Vikings.
...Think of LaDainian Tomlinson setting the single-season touchdown record, Antonio Gates terrorizing defenses, Junior Seau racking up tackles, Harrison making his name as 'The Hitman,' and Stan Humphries, Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh (during his playing days) and Philip Rivers throwing the ball all over the yard."
As for Minnesota's uniform outlook for the upcoming season, they'll obviously wear their traditional home and away uniforms for the majority of the 2025 campaign. But based on the last two seasons, it seems like there's a good chance that the Vikings' modern classic uniform and their "Winter Warrior" threads will both make at least one on-field appearance each in 2025.
As for anything new for Minnesota on the uniform front, there hasn't been any sort of announcement from the team this offseason about the debut of anything yet (just Isaiah Rodgers teasing fans with a custom black Vikings helmet).
That doesn't mean nothing is in the works for Minnesota (90s away throwbacks, please), but so far, the Chargers are the only team from next season's Week 8 matchup who will be heading out on the field inside SoFi Stadium wearing a new uniform.
