new viking uniforms?

I wonder if there's a rule that prevents them from putting actual, real horns on their helmets. It would be historically accurate, and the competitive advantage would be a nice side effect.

that would be sweet so they could beep really loud to tell people to get out of the way or to signify danger.

I was disappointed when I found out this wasn't true.

The practice of burying the dead with their goods has left archaeologists with lots of evidence about the Vikings, who were arguably the first maritime superpower. Unfortunately, few Viking helmets survive intact. The small sample size cannot prove the point definitively, but they are all horn-free.
