The Building of the Purple People Eaters

[Reginald Rutledge]

Page, Eller, Larsen, Marshall, Hilgenberg, Siemon,Blair, Bobby Bryant, Krause, Nate Wright, and Jeff Wright!!! Just a few of the names of the Minnesota Vikings 1975-76 Super Bowl runnerup that lost to the Oakland Raiders!

This was probably the greatest team never to win the Lombardi and my favorite team of all time. They finished the season at 12-2 with the number 1 defense in the league and #1 offense!

Shown below are the starting stages of the building of this team. This team will have 40 players with the anchor players being Alan Page, Chuck Foreman, and the entire defensive front 7.

This team will have about 36 custom poses, created from scratch, and they will have black shoes on for the most part. I am not certain if I want the grass to be mud, snow, or vivid grass. It will be one of the nicer looking teams.

I used a different purple, which is a slightly lighter (candy) shade than the usual purples that I use.
