goforbroke Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I really don't get the infatuation with navy and white. It's so bland. If they've worn a bland color scheme forever and not it's tradition ala the colts then fine, but why change from a color scheme of navy and gold that not only works but is actually fairly unique in American pro sports. Not saying it isn't used at all obv you have the brewers & pacers. But it's not like they wear navy & red or blue & silver or red & black or something like that. Navy and gold works. Doesn't make sense to me. Historical doesn't make sense either they only wore the white horns for like 7 years out of 50. I don't know for sure but I can't imagine the fans in LA were craving the return of navy and white. Every celebration I saw when the rams announced they were moving back had fans in royal and gold. The ONLY thing that make sense to me is the chargers having the same color scheme. I don't know if the Rams care about that or thought that far ahead that the chargers may join them in LA (or maybe even if chargers stayed in SD in would be close enough to want contrasting color schemes). But that's the only thing that makes sense to me about this. Rams become the navy and white team. chargers become the blue (hopefully powder) and gold team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the throwback will actually look good. That collar on the throwback always bothered me. The 2011 yellow is SO much better than the 2012 Volt.

Quillz Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I do hope when 2019 rolls around, the Rams will keep this blue-and-white look, but work it into a proper alternate. Seems to be a good way to keep people happy: blue-and-yellow on a regular basis, and blue-and-white as sort of a historical throwback. I agree that navy and gold is fine, but those colors will forever be associated with St. Louis, not L.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The NFL uniform rules are so odd. So a helmet change is okay, a pants change is okay, but not the jersey? So you get the mess above. I mean, given 2/3 of the uniform is swapped out, what's the harm in just letting the Rams remove the gold from the jersey? I know it's mainly due to merchandising/licensing rules, but given how many ways there are around these rules, may as well just scrap them. Would avoid the mess like above.

The NFL doesn't sell mass quantities of helmets and football pants. The jerseys are sold in abundance and made well in advance. You can't go Willy nilly changing on a whim with little notice.

I guess that would be considered changing the jerseys. Oh well. What's funny is when they wear the Color Rush it will be the one time this year that the uniform will look like it's supposed to.

Quillz Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I noticed the different number set, too. Seems the St. Louis set has a more "modern" looking font. This was probably always the case, but something I honestly never noticed until seeing everything side-by-side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 The team needs to make a decision. Either make a run as the LA Chargers or rebrand now and start off fresh in the new locale. Rebranding the team after years in the market as the Chargers is so stupid I have no doubt that's what Dean will inevitably do.
