I'd assume it's either that or the result of ticket resellers purchasing large quantities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're so similar to the white uniforms, but better. And yes, 49ers should go cream. The Cards could rebrand to a simple and old-fashioned cardinal and cream identity, with black as an accent color. That would rock. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakfu Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 The Mac Tonight guy was creepy from the beginning. Even before your parents explained that the original song is about a knife murderer. I still think the Rams uniforms will be good until proven otherwise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think many would agree with the latter statement. They could've completely screwed up the jerseys, pants, and whatever else, and I'd be disappointed, but at least they kept the horn. I mean, it's obvious. Or so we thought. Totally agree if I am not mistaken it was the first helmet to have a logo or design in the NFL... beyond classic & just a great look... even if there have been small changes it’s been basically the same design changing it now maybe the stupidest move I ever seen a team make...

TenaciousG Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 This thread is in the running for worst threads of all time on this forum. Bolstered by the fact the Rams and Chargers should have had different threads of their own... I fully expect that I will need to wash out my eyes by looking at the Chargers’ unis whenever these Rams atrocities finally see the light of the day. Now, back to the awfulness. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, there aren't a ton of seats available for purchase at the lowest price level. I wonder if some of those "unavailable" seats are really open seats that they are holding back in case more people want to buy season tickets. My seats are in the 400 level, and I haven't seen any of those seats available except for resale. https://www.ticketmaster.com/los-angeles-chargers-vs-jacksonville-jaguars/event/0A005886E8A924A1 We aren't going to know unfortunately until maybe next season. SoFi Stadium, like most new venues, is going to have honeymoon/intrigue period this year, where people just go to Chargers games to see what the new stadium is all about. Next year or a year after that, when the stadium becomes a more normalized attraction in LA, that will determine how viable the Chargers (and to a smaller extent the Rams) are in LA. Take Mercedes-Benz Stadium in ATL. Awesome attendance in its opening year, tons of empty seats years 2 and 3 without playoff apps. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of these people spamming Rams comments about “change the logo” just might change their tune if (and it’s a HUGE if) they were to win a championship while sporting this identity. 8 hours ago, Ben in LA said: It does to me; that’s why I said it.

Bias should have nothing at all to do with critiquing a design. Considering that this forum exists primarily to discuss sports logos and uniforms, if fandom of the team impairs one's ability to do that, maybe "Sports in General" forum is a more appropriate place to be. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleylash Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 If anything, shouldn't being a fan make you more critical of a botched design? After all, if you like that team, you want them to be considered among the best brandings across fandoms, not accept :censored:ty design because "muh winning". Tradition and/or winning can only carry a design so far. Look at the Patriots; they won an assload in the last design, didn't save it from getting the axe when the time came. And let's not forget that the Rams' only Super Bowl win was in 1999, while the team was in St. Louis, and their last NFL Championship before the AFL merger was in 1951. This isn't a team that's historically had enormous success in terms of championships, and I don't see how a uniform change somehow means that you'll win a title. A team that was 9-7 last year doesn't strike me as a real championship contender. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
