WSU151 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Pretty much everything the NFL did for Super Bowl 50 was black, gold, and silver. That isn't anything new, per se. I'd rather the Rams stick with blue and gold. I don't think I'd want a football team to look like one big formal awards show. Save that for the actors. Two metallic colors that represent the exact same thing "awards and bling" probably won't win many people over, either. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

WSU151 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Similarly, silver and black has already been done in LA, too (and obviously not just the Kings, either). Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's played out and dulled down. Refresh with Hollywood Nights! Black - Gold - Silver. I have no photoshop skills but I imagine it's stunning and if someone wants to take a crack at it, have at it. It screams LA to me. Black - hollywood nights, Gold -awards and bling, Silver - awards and bling. At least in my head it looks really nice, wish I could convey that to all of you. It will more than likely be polarizing but I imagine an all black look that will set the world on fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put things in perspective, in the 31 years the Spanos family has owned the Chargers, we have only had 12 winning seasons - and zero championships, of course. Alex and Dean have overseen the LA drama, Ryan Leaf, David Boston, Jared Gathier, Dr. Chao, AJ and Norv, Bobby Ross being kicked to the curb in favor of that idiot Beathard, nearly every great player we've had leaving on bad terms with the organization, and countless other embarrassments. Dean in particular is one of the most spineless and cowardly turds on the planet. He's just lucky that other owners like Sterling and Loria and Snyder have been more flamboyant in their awfulness, enabling the media to give him a free pass all these years. Just realized this...but you are/were a fan of the teams owned by Spanos, Sterling, and Loria? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

This is going to be a very interesting experiment because I'm pretty sure if you asked LA based raiders, steelers, or cowboys fans to show up for a photo at the Coliseum, you'd have 5x the turnout. Aside from the 90's diehards that supported a very mediocre franchise and their kids, you have a lost generation of youth that grew up without a home team and a boatload of transplants that have other allegiances. There's a good chance that you'll see a san diego effect with 50% of the attendance supporting the visitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York is another transplant city, full of fans of other teams, but we still manage to support our local teams. Even the brand new ones. And it wasn't asking fans of another team to "show up for a photo at the Coliseum". That's much easier. The photo above was from a fan-organized rally to show support for potentially relocating a team. Hardly analogous at all. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

TBGKon Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 It's seems as if the Rams older shade of royal was a bit bright to be paired with the gold. My preference would be to keep the original athletic gold and go with dark royal like the Dodgers (rather than the light royal of the Cubs etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing the Coliseum fill up with a bunch of Steelers, Packers, Raiders, or Cowboys fans for a game against the Rams won't be unique at all in the NFL. Road team fans at road stadiums are more a byproduct of ticket prices, arbitrage, television options, and utility rather than a lack of actual local fan support.

Road team fans at road stadiums are more a byproduct of ticket prices, arbitrage, television options, and utility rather than a lack of actual local fan support. The franchises that have evolved into depending upon visitors to fill seats on game day are typically in the bottom half of league value wise, not in major media markets, and aren't personally financing a nearly $2B stadium in an attempt to relaunch a franchise in a new city. The issue gets down to whether or not the local support will materialize or they revert back to the rams of old. Granted it's a different city now and the league is a different animal than 120 years ago, but I think the local sports media is presenting a much more optimistic picture than what will materialize. It won't be as bad as the anaheim years but you're not going to see seahawks south either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seahawks fan base has been outrageously nuts about their team for a little more than a decade. They had a nice fanbase while in the Dome, but it wasn't nearly as much of a thing as it is today.
