This is just a transparent ploy to get someone to post that old Rams painting again, isn't it?

Ask and ye shall receive:

I'm thinking of the Lamb chop song now. Because this is the thread that doesn't end. It goes on and on.

Looks far better with blue pants, IMO

I dig it. Would still prefer a White Jersey with Yellow Pants like their pretty much perfect classic away set. 

 

 

They really should just pull a Cowboys or LSU and wear these Home and Away.

To the best of my recollection they were a predominantly white at home team during the anaheim years and both stints at the coliseum. Maybe they will go with the modern interpretation of the anaheim set and make blue/bone/yellow their combo of choice.

Or they push monocolor as the main identity like the Falcons are doing.

That’s what they are doing...

I do too.  Especially with blue socks instead of this Lululemon look.

I'm pretty sure they've specifically stated the the only combinations they plan on using are blue/blue/blue, blue/blue/yellow and blue/gray/gray.

How many unveilings have we seen where the intended combos almost never make to to the field or the team gravitates to combos not intended? Given that this whole redesign has gone over so poorly I could easily see them trying to replicate a traditional anaheim look to appease the nostalgic fan base. Not saying it's certain but I won't be surprised if mono is poorly received.

With the complete lack of a white jersey, replicating the old road uni seems pretty impossible.

Which is why I said blue/bone/yellow would be the modern interpretation of said look.

For this upcoming year yes, but they have two new sets coming out over the next two years. I would think that they would be open to playing around with combos after this year as well.

Falcons, Patriots, Seahawks, Titans for the most part.

Sorry, I’ll stop mocking it when people stop trying to force mono. The Seahawks make it work. Everyone else should just let them have it.

I'm anti-monochrome, so let me ask this -- does Seattle "work" because it is all they've ever done? I (again) don't like monochrome, so I disagree with your assessment that they make it work. I prefer their navy over gray OR navy over white to monochrome.

I just think they took that look and really made it their own. Their uniforms use a number of elements I don’t normally like, but they all seem to tie together somehow. Pete Carroll must have The Dude’s rug. 

[henburg 1,470]

Cases where I don't like monochrome usually involve either...

 

1) A traditional team trying to hard to fake it and subsequently failing in being "cool" (Packers, Chiefs)

or

2) A team can't commit to the look fully, resulting in some kind of element like a different-colored helmet or socks sticking out way too much from everything else and ruining the balance of it all (Browns, Cardinals)

 

In contrast, Seattle's monochrome is well done because it suits their modern identity and everything is well balanced color-wise. The set was designed to be worn in monochrome combinations specifically and it shows.

[ghost316 68]

Well, the new-logo-smell has worn off.

I don't think that the split-horn, less curly Rams helmet design is an improvement at all.
