They just have a hard time relating to to the activity so the result ends up being a fun parody of being fierce etc. Only thing is, the live humans pictured are actual LA Rams players, aren’t they? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBTV 20,226 Posted August 12, 2020 This is from a 5-second Google image search on Nike uniform unveiling (note - I'm not saying this is unique to Nike): Maybe it's just perspective, but this dude's arm looks like it's as long as his whole body: . Fly Duck Fly These jabronis look like they have short-stubby arms by comparison - again, what's with the arms-down flex??? Why you so mad bro? . Again... why the flex? Who walks around like this? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManillaToad 1,220 Posted August 12, 2020 Glad I dropped this team after they left town and got embarrassed in the Super Bowl. I'd be really annoyed if a team I rooted for trotted these out. Now it's just funny 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure the players enjoy putting on these little displays for the camera. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GFB 2,127 Posted August 14, 2020 I don't think anyone is denying that the helmet finish is wonderful, it's the decal and the rest of the identity that's letting us down. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WSU151 9,827 Posted August 14, 2020 A pet peeve of mine on the helmet is the facemask isn't the same finish as the helmet. It's just a regular blue...no metallic paint. Would have been a bit better if had the same finish. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m pretty sure they are metallic, I don’t think the colors would match so well if they weren’t. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like a regular blue non-metallic paint. Mini helmets are regular blue facemasks (and are metallic silver for the Lions). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hugevolsfan 786 Posted August 15, 2020 In all the time leading up to the Rams change I never thought they would mess with the horn... what a travesty especially when you see how nice a full horn would look even if you used this shape but made it curl at the end... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I don’t get it. If they insist on segmenting it they could have at least used their orange colour for that little bit instead of blue. The blue separation makes it look like two separate elements. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School Fool 4,254 Posted August 15, 2020 I'm starting to get use to the new horn and dare I say I'm starting to even like it. The segmenting of the horn is obviously weird but I get why it's like that. You just know they will revert to the classic horn in a few years anyways. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The old horns have looked bad on helmets for a long, long time. Didn’t work on modern helmet shells. This new shape fits, and looks so much better. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The new shape is better designed to fit on the helmet, but couldn't they have accomplished that with this new silhouette without the segmentation? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I said the new horn was an improvement, I wasn't saying anything about the segmentation. Only the shape. I don't think the old horns work, with their additional spiral. They just don't fit. Not any more, not on these helmets. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the admiral 28,777 Posted August 16, 2020 If it were one continuous horn, it wouldn't be that shape. I don't think you can isolate one aspect from the other here. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
