kroywen Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 To me, the platonic ideal for a Rams home uniform would be the Dickerson-era uniforms, but with the numbers in white rather than in gold. With a royal blue helmet, of course. I think someone mocked up what that would look like earlier in the thread, and it would immediately be one of the top uniforms in all of the NFL. The actual Dickerson-era home uniforms are good, but to me, the color balance between yellow and white always seemed a little off. The white stripe on the pants looked very out of place, when the only other white element of the uniform were the names on the back (which aren't even visible from the front). They could always solve this problem by taking the Dickerson-era uniforms, and just having a single blue stripe down the sides of the pants, but I think I'd much prefer having a nice balance of yellow and white vis a vis white numbers. As for the horns on the shoulders, it's such a distinctive uniform element that I really hope they make a return to the Rams' primaries. Nike did a great job of fitting them into a modern uniform template on the Rams' throwbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Some of you guys are nuts. The blue/white Rams are so boring. They nailed it with the LA look. Very few teams have a perfect uniform set, but the old LA Rams did: The white stripe sticks out on the home set, until you realize it lines up nicely with the road. So good. Obviously they can't get away with the sleeve element anymore, but there's probably some compromise design Nike could make. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was incorporated really well into the Rams throwbacks: Sure, the TV numbers are a tad small, but I don't think that's a huge issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, I do hope they adopt those numbers for continuity's sake, as that's one of the small things you should do to have a strong brand identity. But who am I kidding, the Rams will have some awful custom Nike-designed font. I'd love to see the Rams recolor the rams head logo light blue and yellow. Just like your profile picture. They should also go back to those primary blue and yellow uniforms full time. That color scheme screams Los Angeles Rams to me. The navy blue and gold is more St.Louis Rams and less LA Rams.

Just have a blue collar and draw all the attention to the sleeve horns. Also, with a normal sized collar, you might have room to fit the TV numbers on the shoulders. Not sure how it'd look (probably not very good), but it at least would give another option for placing the TV numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colortv Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The blue and white would be too similar to the colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 That's not the problem. I don't believe any one team can own a two-color scheme. My issue with it is that blue and white is such a small part of their history. The blue and gold are most identified with LA, most identified by the fans, and really is what they should be wearing.

BlackBolt3 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 If at least half of the fan group calling for the team to come back wore the blue and white, there would be some consideration. But that's not the case. Personally there should be no reason they touch anything that's not close to royal blue and yellow, but that's not my decision.

Sure, technically it is... so what? Being a slave to by-the-numbers consistency is no way to live.

Almost a brownish-gold, like the updated ravens logo on the site They've put out an updated logo slick and nothing has changed in terms of colors, uniforms or logos, the only difference is that the logos/marks that have the city included say Los Angeles instead of St. Louis.

Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

This. Fans in LA have clearly embraced the royal blue and gold and are using it to represent the Los Angeles Rams. That color scheme has become a symbol of bringing the Rams back to LA - it only makes sense to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With blue socks to balance the helmet, that's my ideal Rams uniform right now. As for the Braisher stripes, I do always love seeing them. And they don't look out of place to me since the Rams have touches of white on the rest of their uniform - NOB on the jersey, chinstrap and bumpers on the helmet, low white socks. White on the pants aren't absolutely needed, but there's just enough white everywhere else to make it work well. And for the alternate, reverse the colors. The Rams can sell blue jerseys, everybody's happy. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The league is embracing color again because fashion is embracing color again. People aren't afraid of bright colors.

Haven't seen a whole lot of other people harping on this point, but it needs to be harped on big time. They lose so many style points by not having horns on their sleeves and/or shoulders.

As I've said before, I'd love to see the Rams try Blue jersey/Yellow pants at home, Yellow jersey/White pants on the road, and a White jersey/White pants Gabriel-era throwback/alternate (with white horns to boot, of course). I'm sure the NFL doesn't like the idea and hence it probably won't happen, but with the re-embracing of color in fashion and sports (and the fact that the Rams share the same home city as the Lakers), one can hope. If not, make the yellow/white combo the 3rd and the Gabriel-era white/blue the color rush (but hopefully with blue socks).

Nah, for me the shoulder horns are just a step too far. Horns on the helmet are a fantastic literal rendering of the nickname. Horns on the shoulder are cutesy and kinda stupid.
