Minnesota Vikings Franchise traditions, trends
Helga hats
Viking fans are known to dress up in "Helga Hats" or purple hats mimmicking the helmets worn by Viking warriors while invading rival lands.

Minnesota Vikings Fight song
Often during Vikings games, the fans will be led to sing the Minnesota Vikings fight song, which has the following lyrics:

Skol, Vikings! Let's win this game. Skol, Vikings! Honor your name.
Go get that first down, then get a touchdown,
Rock 'em, sock 'em, fight, fight, fight, fight!
Skol, Vikings! Run out the score; You'll hear us yell for more.
V-I-K-I-N-G-S! Skol, Vikings, let's go!
Skol is the Swedish word for a salute or a toast, as to an admired person or group.

Minnesota Vikings Mascot
The current team mascot is Ragnar, possibly the only "human" mascot in professional sports, meaning that he doesn't wear anything over his head. Ragnar (played by Joseph Juranitch) has been working for the Vikings since 1994, and claims to be the most widely-recognized mascot in the world. Jurantich admits to being somewhat of an eccentric—he holds the current world record for fastest time shaving a beard with an ax. Ragnar drives onto the field at the beginning of games on a loud motorcycle.

Minnesota Vikings Curses
The Vikings, even though they are a very successful franchise, are faced with championship futility, much like the Chicago Cubs, the Toronto Maple Leafs and many other successful franchises in other sports. Many attribute their futilities to "curses", such as the Cubs' Billy Goat curse. The Vikings have the more esoteric rune stone curse, named for the Kensington Runestone, claimed to be Viking in origin, which was found near Alexandria, Minnesota. Legend has it that the runestone predicts the fate of the Minnesota Vikings in the future.

22 Norwegians on
discovery voyage from
Vinland over (the) west we
had camp by 2 skerries one
days journey north from this stone
we were and fishe(ed) one day after
we came home found 10 men red
with blood and dead.
The 22 Norwegians in this reference are a reference to the 22 players that play on a starting offense and defense on a football team. The 10 dead are usually a reference to a massive group of injuries or an offense or defense that plays sub par.
