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? Color Rush is whats going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned, Color Rush lets teams have their cake and eat it too. They can highlight any color they've ever worn, not limited to their current palette. Minimizing the gold is a temporary solution for now, as they're waiting for the new stadium to launch an all-new look. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I'm pretty sure they just went with "L.A. Rams" and "L.A. Raiders" when showing the score. 19 hours ago, Rockstar Matt said: They definitely used to. And it was just RAM and RAI. Close-ish, but I looked up old boxscores a couple weeks ago. It was LAM and LAI. Strange I know, but both teams started with R-A. So they just took the next letter. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems weird that of the colors to choose for color rush, they pick the color they're currently trying to minimize. I hope their new look is gold heavy, because their primary look is horrible right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time they wore them was in the Edwards Jones Dome for a contest between the Mustard Rams and Ketchup Bucs. They didn't wear them last season, they went with all white, including a first version of their current helmet, because they went against the Seahawks lime green. And even still, that particular golden yellow wasn't the color in St. Louis either. It was the color of their throwbacks. It still is the color of their throwbacks. The Rams choosing yellow makes sense. While they're minimizing the gold right now, they very much played up the yellow in all their social media presences this week and go all in the same way when they wear the throwbacks. Gold might be minimized on the primary, but the yellow is very much a part of the Rams pallette, past, present, and future. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One though I had was that they'd use the conferences as the identifier, so LAN for the Rams and LAA for Raiders. 10 hours ago, leopard88 said: I beg to differ. The white pants look really clean with both the gold and blue jerseys. Those uniforms are so good looking they can work with either. If they chose one or the other, it would be great, and if they were to swap colors it would still look great. Unlike the Giants switching from the wonderful gray pants to white.

Aren't the throwbacks supposed to be athletic gold while the color rush is mustard yellow? Regardless, the color rush uniforms seem to be pretty popular among Rams fans.

Hard to tell looking at the uniforms with the naked eye, but the Rams changed their social media logos to this for color rush week: That's definitely not what they have or at least are upposed to have on the throwbacks.

Gothamite Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Yeah, but again I'm not sure that isn't supposed to be some kind of cool-looking filter.

I think you're right, watching videos of the game they posted next to that logo and the uniforms are definitely brighter/more vibrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colortv Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 So a report came out that NFL is very concerned about the Chargers and there has been some light buzz about possibly pushing them back to San Diego if they continue to struggle, but other sources are refuting it: https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-reportedly-considering-moving-chargers-010040080.html http://www.latimes.com/sports/nfl/la-sp-chargers-back-to-san-diego-20170922-story.html https://www.sbnation.com/2017/9/22/16352428/chargers-los-angeles-san-diego-relocation-rumor http://www.ocregister.com/2017/09/22/could-chargers-return-to-san-diego-nonsense-league-sources-say/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_tattoos Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 OT: When did people start referring to the color yellow as gold? It's confused me damn near my entire life I'm guilty of this as a Washington Redskins fan. I call the team's secondary color gold, but when the Steelers, Packers and Rams wear the exact same color I call it yellow.

Gothamite Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 It's only been that way for a couple centuries now. Started with heraldry, if I'm not mistaken, and has been applied to athletics since at least the beginning of the 20th century. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
