Yes. Yes it was. 

 

 

 

Ah, yes...the five-mile-wide pants stripes.

 

Let's see the 49ers bring THOSE back!

Also, I just spent two minutes look at ram heads. What a miserable looking existence.

 

 

Are you kidding?  We all just wish we could be as metal as that guy...

If we get a Super Bowl rematch this year, would the Chiefs stick with their home uniforms or would they decide to wear white and force the Bucs into their (apparently unlucky) red jerseys?

 

Well, I'm hoping it's a decision we get to see be made.

 

The BUCS can't possibly view their red uniforms as unlucky, it's more to the contrary.  They won their wildcard playoff game last season in Washington wearing the red over pewter and recently beat the BILLS wearing the red w/ white pants.

 

I just think they like wearing their white and have been quite successful in them.  They won their Divisional and NFC Championship games while wearing white over pewter last season and lest we forget them beating KC in the Super Bowl again with white over pewter.

 

The one combo I'd like to see TB wear is the pewter jerseys over their white pants.  That'd look damn cool, the mono-pewter look when they've worn it is overkill ...

 

Super Bowl rematch?  I sure as hell hope not!!

 

LETS GOOOOO BUFF-AAAAAA-LOOOOO!!!!

It's more to the contrary with the white over pewter.  They won their Divisional and NFC Championship games while wearing white over pewter and let's not forget beating KC in the Super Bowl also wearing white over pewter.

I think pewter over white would look better, but the issue with the pewter set is no black and no orange…which is featured on the pant stripe on both the white and regular pewter pants and the number trim on those corresponding jerseys. I actually think the pewter jersey and their pants  is more of a recolor of the bucco Bruce set with a ship added on the sleeve.

The could get an alternate set of white pants with a red and pewter stripe.

Now that would be a really good idea of choice, and it's not like it's never been done by other clubs.  Just off the top of my head I'm pretty sure that Denver has more than one set of white pants. 

 

Tampa is one of the few teams that look good with an inverted jersey color.  For example I hate the BILLS red jerseys but could probably tolerate it for one game if we had a set of white pants to go with them.   Red-red-red is just far too much, just overkill ..

Literally any Super Bowl matchup that doesn’t involve the Titans would be a good one.

Be careful what you wish for.

Mono blue Bills vs Mono bone Rams is still on the table.

Seems like piping had the thickness back then. Love em!   Not sure where but I read that in the late 80s, the 9ers piping was actually functional. The 3 strips were actually a stretchy material that allowed for less restricted movement. I don't think this is from a dream I had where I was reading an article but ...  Can anyone verify?

[AgentColon2]

I don’t recall that one. But I do recall Aaron Rodgers preferred the stripeless throwbacks due to less restriveness.

Their bad luck is the New Orleans Saints in the regular season, not the red jersey. This was the only team they wore red over pewter against this season and they lost both games. And last year they lost in in 38-3 in it.  They haven't had much bad luck in red otherwise.

There is no “piping” on that uniform

1000% better without the moon/banana.

 

It’s definitely much better, but that final spiral still feels missing to me. Ever since the Rams switched to the new design, they’ve no longer felt like the Rams, instead they feel like a Walmart version of themselves, and I don’t use that term lightly. Your fix makes the most of it, though.

I don't know why the horn on the helmet didn't look like this. The detail adds alot to the idea that it's a ram horn and not some crescent moon thing.

Without the blue line separating the two, this could work. It’s just tough to not see them as two separate shapes as-is because so many other designs use dark outlines in order to divide different shapes from each other. The gradients would do well to add that three-dimensional quality to it, though.

I think CSU has the shape right.  Thicker but keeps the curl back:

Interesting that the two horns pictured have completely different shape and color. I probably prefer the one on the left in both aspects.

 

 

This might belong in the concept thread, but this is what I’d do if I could only change as little as possible to the Rams’ current set, while still making it tolerable. 

 

The changes:

1) No more segments in the helmet, sleeves, or numbers. 

2) White jersey becomes the primary away

3) The “Sol” shade they use actually looks pretty good in digital applications, but for the real-life uniforms, they would just go back to the previous athletic gold shade, the same that the Packers, Steelers, and Chargers use.

 

With just those three changes, I think the Rams could go from a bottom-3 uniform in the league to at least Top 20, maybe even the top half of the league.

As much as I want blue over yellow, I’d be just fine with blue over bone. Just don’t do all blue.

Bone jerseys and bone pants should not be worn with yellow or blue garments. That wasn't the original plan.  A'll Bone should be an alternate set, and new white jersey the norm, but that's another issue.

It helps lessen the weirdness level thinking of them this way.

Is that rams jersey a throwback now all of a sudden?

No, I’m just simply stating it’s how I process the justification of bone pants.

[Sykotyk]

It does give a bit of an impression that that's just the equipment color and not a design choice. But, it's still bad.

[FinsUp1214]

Something I admire looking back at old Rams helmets is how substantial the horns were coming from the front of the helmet. I feel like the horns ought to be large and imposing, and they got it right in the earlier days:

 

 

Compare that to both horns used in the last few years, and the horns’ narrower sizes seem lacking and much less imposing:

 

 

 

It’s one of those instances where I completely understand the why of it and that function on modern helmet shells dictates the use of narrower horns, but it’s still a loss in my book. The larger horns of the Rams’ early years just looked so much better to me, and put off a much more powerful and imposing impression from a design standpoint.
