Horns on the helmet are a fantastic literal rendering of the nickname. Horns on the shoulder are cutesy and kinda stupid. Always thought it was weird that the Rams to had horns on their helmets and jerseys. Was never a fan of the sleeve horns to be honest.

WavePunter Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I could take em or leave em.. The shoulder horns are a unique uniform quirk that they completely "own", but in no way is it a "bonus" for them to be there or a downgrade if they're not.. I truly feel like the current set (apart from the colors) does a great job of modernizing the overall feel of the shoulder horn jerseys without actually having them on there.. Also, it wouldn't be a true throwback, but if there's a big push for the throwback yellow jerseys, change the yellow stripes on the sleeves between the blues to white, throw in some white number outlines, and voila, modern update with better color balance.. But I'm still a fan of recoloring their modern uniforms royal and yellow, fixing the collar, and calling it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they do the right thing and do a palatte swap. Either way, they're going to sell approximately a billion Rams jerseys next season. If anything, the blue and gold on the home set might pop a little bit better in the warm California sun.

It would be like the Eagles putting wings on their sleeves instead of the eagle head logo. It it was a cool quirk, but nothing we need to see again. Especially the way they'd have to be forced in to the ever-shrinking sleeve (or shoulder cap, since that's all a sleeve is anymore).

4_tattoos Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I know many of you guys might consider it lazy, but part of me thinks it wouldn't necessarily be a bad move if the Rams simply recolored the "St. Louis" uniforms into the classic LA colors. Those uniforms were generally liked, until they decided the navy and white pants should have unnecessary stripes.

Simply getting rid of the stripes on those pants would have helped a lot. The St. Louis Rams were pretty much the only team in modern football that made plain/stripeless pants look good in the navy over gold or white over gold combos. I'm no photoshopper, but I can easily imagine the Rams looking way better in white over navy, white on white or even mono navy had they not put stripes on those pants.

Gothamite Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 No more mono navy. Had enough of head-to-toe drab. If they have to retain these colors for a year or two, at least they can always wear them with bright pants. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

It would actually make more sense for the Eagles to have wings on the sleeves than the helmet, if we are talking about literally representing the team name. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresno St. Alum Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 can whoever did that nike website post showing what teams unis were not able to be shown/locked, post that again when it happens this year? It showed that the Browns were getting new unis and that the Packers were getting new alts. When was that posted? Feb of last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Like I said earlier, the Rams are probably going to wear white at home again due to the hot California weather. I know they used to do it the last time they played in LA, but maybe this time they just do it for the first several home games until Winter like most teams these days? Do this.

If they're really being up front about no changes until the new stadium, they can't do that.

No. I already mentioned that guy was wearing a counterfeit jersey. On 1/24/2016 at 8:21 PM, Gothamite said: 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. I agree with the second part, but think a team absolutely can own a two color scheme. Ignoring their experimenting with gray in the '80s, the Colts have worn blue and white forever. And they're one of the NFL's historic franchises. Throw in the fact that they've been on primetime TV more than any team outside of the Patriots the last 20 years, and I think it's hard to make any non-Nikegasm blue and white jersey that doesn't make people say "why are they copying the Colts?"

We're talking about the Rams adopting a solely blue and white color scheme, the same as the Colts helmet and pants weren't mentioned.. the statement was: "...it's hard to make any non-Nikegasm blue and white jersey that doesn't make people say 'why are they copying the Colts?'" my point is this.. 2-color schemes and 3-color schemes can be "owned" by those teams because they contain one or more extra colors to separate one team from another. 1-color schemes (not counting white as a color here) are so generic, that they are almost inherently "owned" by every team who uses that color (example: giants owning a blue/white jeresey - and also a white/red jersey for that matter).. it's usually not the color scheme that these super-traditional teams "own", it's their overall LOOK.. no one else in the league currently uses the shoulder stripes of the colts, and no one uses the shoulder/sleeve design of the jets.. those signature elements (although common in the past) have long been used solely by these teams ALONG WITH their 1-color scheme to create an identity.. at least the colts officially darkened the blue and are the only team to use that particular shade of blue (so i guess you could argue that they do "own" it - but only for that reason), but the jets outright copied the packers' green, so the key here is their signature look, which highlights their 1-color scheme..
