vikings belts colors in 1960s and 1970s
Hi everyone again thanks for the awesome site and hard work.
i notice that you have vikings belts including the purple pants in 1960 as being purple . I belive most if not all the years in the 60s they used white belts including for the purple pants. At some point in the early 70s at least by the time fran tarkenton came back they used purple belts (see all 4 Super bowl games for examples actually as SB4 was in 69 season you will notice they are white) I believe by 79 they had switched back to white belts If you like i could try to find some pictures as well but here is a link the 75 playoff game lost to dallas

It looks like 1964-70 is white with both sets of pants.

I'm not sure about 1961-63...I've seen both white and purple belts with the white pants, and haven't seen any good pictures with the purple pants.
The permanent switch to purple belts appears to have taken place in 1971:

Good question. The only color picture I've seen with the dark belts is the one above against the Rams in the pre season. Most of the others show them with white belts.

Re: vikings belts colors in 1960s and 1970s
BD Sullivan sent me this shot from 1962.
Its grainy but definitely shows white belts on the purple pants.

I'd say that all purple pants had the white belts (62-64).
The photo that BBL linked to above from 1961 of Fran T (http://www.apimages.com/OneUp.aspx?st=k&kw=%22minnesota%20vikings%22%201961&showact=results&sort=relevance&prds=10001&intv=None&cfas=__p%2C-1&sh=10&dtebf=12%2F31%2F1961&dteaf=9%2F1%2F1961&kwstyle=or&adte=1338215759&pagez=60&cfasstyle=AND&rids=756ce1d83ee1da11af9f0014c2589dfb&dbm=PY2000&page=1&xslt=1&mediatype=Photo) shows a white belt for 1961 with the white pants.
The real anomoly in the group seems to be the 1963 Preseason game up top vs the Rams that shows a black/purple belt with the white pants in 1963. Were it not for this photo I'd be inclined to believe nothing but white belts from 1961-70 for Minny.

Re: vikings belts colors in 1960s and 1970s
I think we're safe to say that white belts were the rule from 1961-70.
The lingering question remaining is...
In 1971, when they went away from the white belts, did they go to black or to purple belts?

Re: vikings belts colors in 1960s and 1970s
Lingering question #2...
We originally had white belts for all combos from 1969-2005. It wasn't until their horrid uni redo in 2006 that we show the use of purple belts.
If we agree that white belts were the thing from 1961-70 and (lets call them) purple beginning in 1971, how far forward did the purple belts go before Minny reverted to the white belts again?
A few photos were posted above showing the purple belts up through 1978 but I didn't see any photos posted after that.
So...
2 photos from September 1979 (both in white belts)


White belt in 1980 (Jan 1981 Playoff)

White belt in Aug 1981 Preseason

White belt for 1982 (Jan 1983 Playoff)

I guess this means the purple belts went from 1971-78.
Can we all agree on this?

Re: vikings belts colors in 1960s and 1970s
I was looking for that earlier today too. I had seen purple through '78, and white by '80. 1979 was unclear to me.

1979
http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/quarterback-tommy-kramer-of-the-minnesota-vikings-moves-as-news-photo/57540117 this pciture can not be any later than 1979 because in 1980 team swich to white facemask. I assume it was taken in 79 not 77or 78 because 1979 was kramer's first season as starter-white belts.
also question of if the belts could be black instead of purple i have never seen any color phots that suggest team wore black belts.
