A new collection I’m doing for 2025 to celebrate the start of the 2025-2026 NFL season, each team will have their own card art inspired by their logo colours. Additionally, each team will also have both an obverse and reverse design, with the obverse design featuring player stats (from Madden 2026, credit EA) and 2024 season info while the reverse design will feature the player’s number. To kick off this new collection, we have the Minnesota Vikings design and an example card inspired by their star wide receiver: Justin Jefferson.
Obverse Minnesota Design:
- A Vikings purple background with a darker purple American Football pattern on top.
- Right and left edges have grey stripes, these stripes feature “NFC” running down the side to showcase the Conference the Vikings play in and also feature two all white Vikings logos on either side.
- A larger, hand drawn recreation of the Vikings logo takes centre stage.
Reverse Minnesota Design:
- Features a background inspired by Vikings logo colours purple, yellow and white with the American Football pattern in light grey on top of the white area of the background.
- Matching grey edge stripes as the obverse design.
- A smaller scale hand drawn recreation Vikings logo sits atop a darker purple American Football in the purple area of the reverse design.
Justin Jefferson Obverse Card Design:
- Uses the same Vikings card obverse design.
- Features a picture of Jefferson from NFL.com
- Features an ability name inspired by his famous end zone Griddy dance.
- Features stats from his 2024-2025 season.
- Features his Madden 26 general rating (credit EA), with his 99 ovr and 99 awareness highlighted in gold to celebrate the top number.
- Jefferson’s name takes centre stage in Impact font at the top of the card.
Justin Jefferson Reverse Card Design:
- Uses the same Minnesota Vikings card design.
