Minnesota Vikings: behind the scenes of jersey making

The Minnesota Vikings always look good on the football field. Their jerseys look sharp and and are very durable, which helps the team focus on executing plays rather than being concerned about their equipment.

One of the people behind the scenes of the Minnesota Vikings is Hopkins Garment Lettering Service, where the business has been tasked with affixing the numbers and letters to the squad’s jerseys since 1969. This means that her work has been a part of many Vikings legends games, including Fran Tarkenton, Alan Page, Carl Eller, Chuck Foreman and many, many more.

The woman who owns the business, Penny Brice, is personally responsible for the work that is has been done on the recent draft picks, including 2014 first round pick Anthony Barr.
