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?

BBTV Posted August 12, 2020 Share 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?

ManillaToad Posted August 12, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFB Posted August 14, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted August 14, 2020 Share 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. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a regular blue non-metallic paint. Mini helmets are regular blue facemasks (and are metallic silver for the Lions). Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

hugevolsfan Posted August 15, 2020 Share 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...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted August 15, 2020 Share 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.

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. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

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? http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The_Admiral Posted August 16, 2020 Share 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. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
