Quillz Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Is there any way the Rams could bump the throwbacks up to full-time status, wear the royal blue and yellow for the 8 home games next year (plus any road games where the home teams wear white) and then wear the navy and gold white uniforms on the road when they have to? What would stop them from doing that? Does the league have rules against wearing two wildly different home and road uniforms? Cowboys obviously excluded. The NFL's one helmet rule wouldn't apply in this case, they'd just have to switch out the helmet decals. I think the NFL only allows throwbacks/alternates to be worn twice at home each season. I doubt they are going to change that rule.And the Rams have already confirmed their uniforms are not changing for 2016... So perhaps next season?

BlackBolt3 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The Broncos made their orange alternate jerseys the full time primary a few years ago. I don't know what process they had to go through to do it, but that could conceivably be what the Rams do. Now, the NFL may go against it because it differs too much from the "current" set, but I don't know how this whole deal works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the team/league wanting to avoid the home/road inconsistency I don't see what the difference is between that and Denver making their orange alternates the primary and relegating the blue to alternate status.

4_tattoos Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think we all just need to accept that the Rams are going to keep the "St. Louis colors" for the time being (I'm personally okay with that). New uniforms are coming in the near future, just not the 2016 season. The best case scenario I'm hoping for 2016 is the Rams rolling out the beige/khaki/gold pants.In the meantime they will be able to wear the throwbacks twice at home next season, as well as the Color Rush uniforms once. Not sure about the alternate uniform rules in regard to preseason games. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 If I remember correctly, the 49ers did really well wearing their throwbacks ('93 or '94?) and kept wearing them for the rest of the season. They had to pay a fine or something but were happy to do so considering they won the Super Bowl that year. Does anyone else remember anything like this?

CubsFanBudMan Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Yes, it was 1994. From a few pages back:They have the throwbacks. They have the gold color rush jerseys. Those should be the interim uniforms, even if it means a lot of gold monochrome the next three years.Then Nike it up in 2019.If the 49ers could wear throwbacks all the way to the Super Bowl in 1994, the Rams can now. No excuse to try to double dip with St. Louis navy and gold when the fans have spoken so loudly.There is a lot of throwback merchandise available. I don't see why any L.A. fan would buy navy and gold when their thirst for blue and yellow can easily be quenched at any Lids, Fans Edge or even NFL Shop.

logos are cool Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 1994 was a very, very long time ago.Yeah, and the merchandise deals are worth a lot more money now.

My point was if the Rams want the blue/yellow and know that it will sell more merchandise, Nike and the NFL should have no problem making it happen. As it is I would be shocked to see any navy/gold in the stands at LA Rams games next year even if the team is still wearing the St. Louis Rams colors.

People will have the choice of what they want to buy between the old and new colors. Remember the Rams are not just selling to the old Rams fans but also younger fans who only know them in their current colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what it seems, they won't. That said, they could keep the yellow full time on the helmet I'm sure. Not the only time a team has had mismatched parts.

lahaye7 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 someone a while back said it, Keep the current mess until the new stadium is built. Then switch to royal/ gold full time with Royal and white as alts with the color rush yellows once a year. I like this idea. Enough with the dark colors.
