Look: Vikings to wear jersey patches, helmet stickers honoring Bud Grant

The Minnesota Vikings will honor legendary head coach Bud Grant in Week 1 by wearing jersey patches with his signature on them, which is just one of the ways the team will recognize the late coach in 2023.

Grant passed away at the age of 95 back in March, and the team would like to recognize his contributions to the organization this season. In addition to the jersey patches that will be worn in the opener against the Buccaneers on Sept. 10, the Vikings will also wear helmet stickers all season long.

“We intend to wear patches with Bud’s iconic signature on our Classic uniforms for the season opener at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sept. 10, just a few weeks away. It’s fitting to do so when the entire game will be honoring those great teams of the 60s and 70s,” owner Mark Wilf said in a statement. “We also plan to be wearing helmet stickers throughout the entire 2023 season to continue honoring Bud, and we’re going to announce additional elements of the home opener that will pay tribute to Bud as we get closer to the game itself.”

Below is a look at the jersey patches, which feature Grant’s signature on them.

The Vikings haven’t revealed the other ways they will recognize the legendary Grant this season, but other elements will be announced before the season begins in September.
