Los Angeles NFL Brands Discussion

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.

Adam Gase's pregame speech...." Team, I know we are horrible....... BUT ARE WE GONNA LOSE TO A TEAM WEARING THOSE UNIFORMS!!!!!!!!!

Apparently the Rams are going bone jersey over yellow pants against the Jets in this TRAP GAME.

 

Well, you called that.  Sorry.

I knew this before I even knew the uniform combination

Came across this image after the Kevin Green (RIP) news hit. I may be biased but this might be peak nfl uniform aesthetic.

This is a perfect example of the biggest issue with the Rams new set. 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.

So true. It was right there for them NOT to screw the 2020 uniform up. Great pic too. What a shame Also, R.I.P. Mr. Greene, I'm glad we didn't have to see you wearing a bone colored uniform.

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.

I think the classic horn fills the space way better. The new one doesn't reach far enough to the back

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.

The Rams are wearing bone with bone accessories, except some players have white accessories... they can't even get it consistent

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.

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.

Yea I noticed that. Looks cool to me.

Ah, thank you for the clarification on that. That’s good to know.

 

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.

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.

Yeah but....

 

The other team will have white. There are sidelines. You can't escape white, so this will always look dirty.

[Ridleylash 4,080]

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.

The Rams on every single detail of this redesign:

[Gothamite 24,112]

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.
