I don't believe they used acronyms back then like they do now with score bugs. I'm pretty sure they just went with "L.A. Rams" and "L.A. Raiders" when showing the score.

Rockstar Matt Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 As much as I really like the new Rams helmets, the yellow horns are the way to go. An absolutely gorgeous helmet.

I think those were created retroactively. As far as I know, they never used team acronyms during game telecasts until the first score bug was introduced in 1994 by FOX. I believe they just used "L.A." for both teams during that '94 season, but I'm not completely positive. Here's an example of NBC not using acronyms for the Raiders or Bills in the 1990 AFC championship game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DsO7n52GcI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tecmo Super Bowl had RAM and RAI as the abbreviations and that game came out in 1991. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWhiz96 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The Rams base color should be gold, plain and simple. Pair these tops with royal pants and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shstpt1 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 These uniforms look beautiful in the California sun! Put white pants with the jerseys with a blue/yellow/blue stripe on them and that’s a perfect home uniform. They could even use them as the first 2 home games each season to beat the heat, and then not have to wear white at home. Then have the blue jerseys for the last 6 home games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The Rams should have left navy blue face masks on their regular helmets. The white mask they've switched to blends in with the horns, bumper and chinstraps in a bad way. 2020 can't get here soon enough.

Is that a relatively new thing or is this just a Tecmo Super Bowl quirk? Also, congrats to the Jets and Rams for being the only four letter teams.

The white pants look really clean with both the gold and blue jerseys.

Honestly, the Rams would look good with most combinations of royal/gold/white, so as long as the combinations aren't mono. I'd have: Home: gold jersey/royal pants/gold socks - have alternate white pants Road: white jersey/gold pants/royal socks Alternate: royal jersey/gold pants/white socks - have alternate white pants and gold socks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm sorry but I guess I'm totally out of the loop on the Rams uniform/identity situation. It appears that they're minimizing the use of yellow/gold on their primary set, presumably to phase it out altogether (?). But then wear head to toe yellow/gold last night? What's going on?
