The Minnesota Vikings announced today that they have officially changed the name of their mascot to the Viqueens in an effort to more accurately reflect the players on the 2009 roster. In addition, the team unveiled a new logo as part of their re-branding effort. “Today marks the next era in Minnesota football,” General Manager Rick Spielman said on Thursday. “Our new look is part of our continuing effort to celebrate the culture of girly men that we have been cultivating here since 1961. It also serves as a reminder to other NFL fans that we are a bunch of sissies that prefer to play football indoors.” The new logo depicts a pink, blushing Viking in drag, complete with a purple bow in her braid. Fans will also notice new “unisex” team lettering inspired by the thousands of confused football fans from the North Star State.
