Different Look For Viking’s First Game
It may not be a big deal to some Viking fans, but Coach Sam Johnson wanted to let football fans know that things might look a little different for tonight’s game against the Newport Cubs.
“Kind of a warning to some Viking fans, we wont be in our usual sunflower gold helmet. They are being finished right now in Mexico, being shipped up to us and they arrive Saturday.”
Johnson says they will be sporting a “Vegas” gold helmet until the second week of the season. Tonight’s game against the Cubs will be broadcast on KCST beginning with a 6:45 pregame.
