crosfam Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Recent photos from Rams website - FA signings. Helmet looks good in this photo. I am really hoping they can still eliminate the toilet bowl collar for this season (all teams please), unlike what the kids are wearing. The announcement photos did not have it. I know teams like the Ravens were able to eliminate them with no trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The announcement photos showed the VU template, which is why the collar was solid navy. If the league is making the switch, then the teams with the toilet bowl collar will no longer have it.

MiK Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I dunno, I just have a hard time believing that the Rams would be putting this much effort into promoting White as the secondary color that they would just turn around and ditch it in two years for royal and yellow. Changes in two years might not be as dramatic as people think. Forgive my ignorance, if they truly are going back to royal and yellow, what's preventing them from wearing their throwback alternates whenever possible? 73, 77, 81, 83, 90, 06 29, 30, 31, 36, 39, 44, 61, 62, 65, 66, 67, 96, 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we actually lived in a world where a sports league cared this much about the aesthetics of uniforms beyond making a buck. Here's my guess on how this all went down... Rams: "hey, can we change our uniform now and then again in two years?" NFL: "nope, against the rules." Rams: "ok, well, can we do a few other things?" NFL: "are these other things against the rules?" Rams: "no." NFL: "ok, knock yourselves out." At which point everyone but us kinda stopped thinking about it. So the NFL never cares about minutiae until it cares way too much about minutiae. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen plenty of uniforms where not all colors are on all elements, and that's never raised any issue. Giants' jerseys (both home and road), anyone?

The Giants use red and blue on their helmet and pants so it ties together the look. The Rams are using gold on their jersey only so it sticks out. Even if the Rams were to add gold to their socks, it would go a long way in making the overall look more cohesive. Again, I get that 90% of the public won't notice, but that doesn't mean we should just accept it as "good enough". To me it's something that would be the difference between a B and a C for a project in one of my classes. That little attention to detail that is the difference between good and average.

The Giants and the Chiefs and the 49ers and the Rams (off the top of my head) all point out the inconsistencies in this design. I don't see it as nearly the issue you see it as. The same colors aren't all used helmet/jersey/pants. Maybe they should be, but historically they haven't, so no big deal. It's where I sit.

You are confusing an outline with an actual design element. The chiefs without an outline would look incomplete, and the 49 logo is greatly improved by adding the outline. They aren't meant to be team colors though. It's like getting mad at teams for having grey face masks without grey being anywhere else in the uniform. This is a case though of a team intentionally removing team colors from element and thus ruining a previously solid look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the Chiefs, 49ers, and Vikings use of black outlines on their helmet logos is a similar issue, just not as glaring.
