I would say that's a fairly accurate description whether it's photo shoots or scripted live action you often get individuals from art backgrounds with little knowledge or interest of sportsball. 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?

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?

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

Well, from shoulder blade to fingertip is half of the body's height. 

 

 

The warped perspective of the photograph makes sense.

These promo photos are so often a parody of football testosterone.  Pretty sure the players enjoy putting on these little displays for the camera.

Correct. Whether instructing actual players or models/actors the same story plays out.

You want a mismatching helmet?

Absolutely agree. There is too much royal going on now. The new helmet looks much better with the bone jerseys. Give me the darker helmet every day of the week.

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.

[WSU151 9,182]

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.

I’m pretty sure they are metallic, I don’t think the colors would match so well if they weren’t.

Looks like a regular blue non-metallic paint. Mini helmets are regular blue facemasks (and are metallic silver for the Lions).

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...

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. 

[Old School Fool 4,100]

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.

i disagree.  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.

It looks like a crescent moon and a weird panthers helmet stripe now, not like a horn.

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?

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.

[the admiral 27,365]

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.
