OBomb Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 What team (except the Cowboys) wears their road tops at home this late in the season? A team that loses to the 0-13 Jets. Don't think we'll see that uniform combo from the Rams ever again. At least not at home...in week 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really about the new set being total garbage (which it is) but it's more about not living up to the standards that the Rams should and could have aesthetically. If the Jags or the Panthers put out a set in the realm of what the Rams just did, oh well. It's bad but it's not like they had a stout uniform history. But this is the RAMS. I remember as a kid collecting the gumball machine NFL helmets. The horn was so iconic. It's a shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a shame Also, R.I.P. Mr. Greene, I'm glad we didn't have to see you wearing a bone colored uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, especially when it comes to the colors and general design of the uniform, but — thanks in part to some of the criticisms I've read on this thread — I'm starting to recognize some of the flaws in that old helmet horn that I'd never really considered before. The shape of it is odd, and it seems designed to cover the maximum amount of real estate on the helmet before curling around the ear hole. It's not a particularly elegant shape. I can take or leave the segmented structure of the redesigned horn, but I think they at least got the proportions right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinsUp1214 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 The Rams’ bone uniform looks exceptionally cream/light khaki today in Seattle, more so than other days when it looks more gray. I’d really be curious what kind of screen or field tests, if any, these uniforms took during the design process. Maybe they wanted the color to be a bit shapeshifting like that, but that much of a color swing would worry me tremendously if I worked for the Rams and were calling the shots. And no, one color doesn’t look better than the other, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, one color doesn’t look better than the other, either. TV testing is typically more focused on readability/contrast. Color depends so much on the user’s TV settings that it’s not a valuable method for calibrating hues. You have to design for what it looks like in person and essentially hope for the best when it comes to TV.

hbgoo1975 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Speaking of the uniform Kevin Greene was wearing, the Rams won every game in that uniform when they played in the regular season last year. They only lost to the Cowboys in Hawaii for a preseason game and beat Denver the next week. By the way I hate the uniforms they have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, that particular uniform just has a myriad of problems. There’s more than a few elements, uniform color included, that leave me baffled as to how they made the cut.

fouhy12 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 The bone wouldn't be quite as bad if they weren't trying to pair it with white. You can't have white and off-white battling for real estate within a brand like that. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't escape white, so this will always look dirty. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleylash Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 If they wanted an off-white, the least they could have done is just owned that and made everything off-white that normally is stark white. Instead, it's both on the same uniform and it looks horrible. At least owning your off-white with a stupid name would be a little respectable.

Gothamite Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 You can’t eliminate white from the uniforms. Chinstraps, bumpers, socks (well, some of them anyways), all have to be white. And, as @Sec19Row53 mentioned, there will always be white in the frame. What a terrible idea the bone is. In another era, that level of mistake would be known by its proper name.
