It's subtle enough to not be distracting, but gives the numbering a bit of flair. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

I still like the throwback uniform alot but in today's era of 4K HDTV's that dark navy helmet is just not working at all. The Giants had the same problem back in the day, and fixed it just fine when they re-introduced their classic uniforms. I’m confident the Rams can use a similar solution.

Red Wolf Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 4 hours ago, Gothamite said: Holy , that was a great-looking game today. The 49ers have done their part, learning from past mistakes and finally looking like themselves again. Let’s hope the Rams are wise enough to do the same. Rams vs. Niners should be one of the best uniform matchups twice a year. It should never look like this again, but it probably will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer to see them split the difference when it comes to the shade of blue. The navy helmet is far too dark, but I'd like to see them darken the jerseys just a touch. My ideal situation with the 2 LA teams would see the Rams using darker royal & yellow, with white only used on the road jerseys, and the Chargers using powder blue & white, with yellow trim. Both schemes are fitting for SoCal teams, and are distinct enough from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow as an alternate would be great, yellow as the primary probably won't go over well for me or many other Rams fans who want the team to go as close to the throwback look as possible.

Eh...I think it's time for the Rams to get a new look while paying homage to the past like they've said. The throwbacks have history in St. Louis too and I think the Rams should do as much as possible to give the franchise a new, fresh look. It's about building on the idea that this is a new era.

Darken the blue a little, match the helmet, clean up the shoulders and go with the solid pant stripe they introduced this season (maybe clean up the numerals and lettering a little). If, however, (and only if) they were to decide on a yellow primary jersey, I don’t mind navy blue at all. I certainly can’t see a yellow jersey making them look “dark and dreary” no matter what the other color is. :-) I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not from me - I liked it. Something about it just looked tough to me. Maybe because I was a kid. The Giants current helmet is beautiful. They crushed it with the new blue and the metallic paint. I didn't like the photos that were posted of another Rams team with the Rams helmet in royal rather than navy. I think I'd prefer for it to stay navy. They can sell it as an homage to the past.

ltjets21 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I think no matter what the Rams do they should keep the white horns for away games. Their road uniforms could be blue and white and the home unis can be blue and gold. Blue and gold uniforms are nicer but the white horned helmet is one of my favorite helmets of all time.

Even before the one-helmet rule, NFL regs prohibited home and road helmets. The Seahawks wanted to do this as part of their 2002 rebrand. When they unveiled their uniforms, the roads included a silver helmet: This was vetoed by the league, and I think for good reason. Helmets are so central to the identity of each team, the NFL didn't want them diluted with home and away versions.

And let me amend my earlier comment: The CityHawks used the gold helmet at home and the black helmet on the road only for 1997. In 1998, they reversed it; and they altered their uniform protocol to wear only monochrome. 1997 HOME ROAD helmet: gold black jersey: black gold pants: gold black 1998 HOME ROAD helmet: black gold jersey: black gold pants: black gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
