Emulate, to the degree possible given uniform cuts, what they had before they moved. I'm starting to think they're going to buffaslug it. The Buffaslug was an all-new design, though. The Rams are going to Brewers this - instead of doing the right thing in bringing back an old look, they'll redesign it instead, ruining it in the process. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Claystation360 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I sent the logo to a number of friends who are casual or non football fans yet still stay informed and the general response was the Logo is "amateurish" and " man the Chargers are grasping at straws in LA." one person knew it was the Rams and overall 7/9 didn't like it. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a coincidence it is that the Brewers old look was royal and athletic gold, then was updated to navy and Vegas gold, and updated again, but this time, to navy and athletic gold. I'm almost positive this will be the same route that the Rams will take with their colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbofox Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I'm not a huge fan of the "just bring back the old look" for the most part. I like updated nods to the past. The Blue Jay's did it right. Slight upgrades to a great look of the past. I hope this ends up being a slightly modified and updated look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't have a lot of confidence that they'll be able to exercise that level of restraint. I expect much more Brewers than Blue Jays to come out of this. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Has there ever been a time a team or rogue fan deliberately planted a fake that wasn't an obvious and playful joke? It's ridiculous to suggest someone is out there manufacturing a fake hat with a fake logo embroidered on it for the purpose of... tricking some people for a few weeks until the real logo is unveiled? We have a picture of demhoff wearing a fake hat, so it’s not ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying that as if the Brewers have a bad uniform. It may not be personally satisfying to you, but their uniforms are actually very nice.

We've agreed to disagree on the relaunched BiG logo, but the Brewers uniforms represent, in my mind, a significant upgrade. I'd think Rams fans would be happy to have a similar outcome.

PrimalCookie Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 If there’s gradients involved, this could get really bad really quickly. Especially in the uniforms. I just had an awful vision of the numbers being a yellow and gold gradient, or even white-yellow-gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like updated nods to the past. The Blue Jay's did it right. Slight upgrades to a great look of the past. I hope this ends up being a slightly modified and updated look I'm not a huge fan of this attitude, if I'm being honest The goal should be for a team to look its best. That should encourage a wide range of options, to ensure the best look/direction is chosen. Sometimes? The best option is in the past. Yes, the Blue Jays proved you can update an older look properly, but they are not the only team to have tried. Other teams have as well, and have fallen on their faces. A more apt example for the Rams would be the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers' best look is the Gretzky-era uniform. By far. And they even came to their senses and went back to it for a few years! But then they mucked it up again, by promoting orange to primary status and making the royal blue navy. Now what they have is ok but not as good as it could be, and you're just left with the lingering question of why they don't just go back to their superior earlier look. In short, this desire to "never go backwards" seems misguided to me. Wear your best look. If it's what you wore forty years ago? Ok. So be it. 12 hours ago, L10nheart404 said: It's 2020. Whether some like it or not, certain teams are going in new directions. You mean like how the Bills went in a new direction in 2002? Or the Vikings in 2006? Or the Jaguars in 2013? Or the Bucs in 2014? Or the Browns in 2015? Sensing a pattern? Oftentimes when a team tries to reinvent the wheel they revert to the classic identity. Is this a case of buyers' remorse, realization that the new direction hasn't resonated with fans, or planned obsolescence to milk some more merchandizing dollars out of fanbases? Probably a combination of all three, but the point remains. The established looks always re-assert themselves. Now I'm holding off on calling doom and gloom for the Rams. All we've seen is a neon-stylized version of the logo. I don't even think it's a given that we'll see segmented horns like so many people are suggesting. I'm willing to wait and see what the actual primary will look like, and what the updated identity looks like before rushing to judgements. What I am saying, however, is that trendy "new directions" are often fleeting whereas classic identities have staying power.
