No the vikings did not have horns on their hats. A artist thought it showed who they were so he gave them horned hats. And ever sense people think that is true. Scientist have proven that that is false.
Why the logo on the Minnesota helmet?
The Minnesota NFL team is nicknamed the "Vikings". Think of the classic image of a Viking, with the classic horned helmet.

What was the purpose of the Vikings wearing horned helmets?
There's no evidence that the vikings ever wore horned helmets. For combat gear it'd be kinda silly to create a helmet that's real easy to knock off.

Sticking something big and pointy on top of a helmet will make the wearer look taller, and probably more ferocious though, so it makes a great stage prop.
