Probably another new white jersey and pants with exclusively “heritage” accents to honor the Fearsome Foursome era. Or, perhaps, just some new white pants to make a color rush with the current white jersey. I mean, did they say whether it was gonna be new jerseys for both years or just uniforms? Based on the way the Rams have done everything else with this re-brand/uni reveal, I don't think there's any way they don't get an alternate shell and a full additional uniform to match. The white jersey makes sense for the Fearsome Foursome era because they seemed to mostly mostly wear white then, sort of like Dallas now. But that's the only reason. I can't see them having two white jerseys that aren't much different from each other. I do think a navy jersey with white numbers and white pants could happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a true throwback, but one of those Nike-speak "inspired by" uniforms. I wouldn’t mind navy & white for the new alt. It’d be a unique color scheme in the NFL, while also recalling the Rams’ history. Of course, I’d prefer them not involve navy at all, a yellow jersey would be much better, but navy would be much better than black. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Do any of their 16 fans know that the navy/white era ever actually happened? I'm not sure why the Rams would go with navy/white over a (insert fire emoji) BFBS uniform with matching helmet. 8 1 3 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

It might be because the Cardinals have worn their current uniforms during the entire time I've been a football fan and the color balance is so different. Their current uniforms make them seem like a red/white team with black accents. This concept makes them a red/black team with white accents.

PlayGloria Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Preface to my post: - I don't like bone or sol, and honestly the royal is a shade too bright for me too. - I also don't like anything about the rams rebrand and they should have gone straight classic/retro. - I also tend to not love navy. It usually dulls things, including when the rams used it in STL and early LA. All of this said, I kind of think navy may work better with both bone and sol. The colors are just too bright on the rams current unis and paired with the current shade of royal worsens the issue for me. The bone is absolutely stupid, but if it was the only other color against a solid navy, it might actually work better. Same with sol. IDK... wouldn't mind seeing a few mock ups before i decide that I'm completely against navy for the rams. I guess it depends on how married to bone and sol they are. If they are hellbent on keeping those, navy may not be as bad as we think. Side note: I would find it hilarious if they added a navy alt. There are two teams playing in the same stadium in the same city and they would both have blue/yellow primaries with navy alts 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they couldn’t have stuck with the vegas gold for a few more years is beyond me, but that’s what they thought needed to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since TV numbers aren't included in many redesigns anymore, they could be the trend setters and rather than have a truncated horizontal stripe on their "sleeve", they could take the same stripe and run it vertically from collar to cuff. It's still a traditional stripe and traditional look, but different enough to be a little interesting, and isn't impacted by the disappearance of sleeves.

Both used navy for a significant period, so it makes sense for both to have that option. It'd be funny/stupid if Rams this year reveal something that resembles the Chargers alt navy unis. Aside from that, they're easy enough to distinguish. Like the Bills and Giants, just in the same city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a silly reason not to readopt a uniform feature that is decidedly part of their uniform history. The old plain helmet would still be there to make the link and the younger fans would get used to it in no time, same way every new uniform becomes normal after a period of time. Oddly enough, though, to me the 2005 uniforms have never felt like the Cardinals. They've always just felt like a generically dumb mid-2000's template that the team adopted to trend hop and still haven't remedied. 58 minutes ago, throwuascenario said: I've never once in my life turned on a Cardinals game and seen them wearing that striping pattern.

DCarp1231 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 The Cardinals should absolutely try something new with their uniforms like UCLA stripes and maybe even introduce sand color into their palette 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 In my perfect world… the cardinals use double red (ala the SA Commanders). It’s a totally unique color scheme in major league US sports, and it justifies using an extremely simple uniform that lets the colors shine on their own. I honestly don’t care if those elements were ultra-sublimated flag designs, simple truncated “wing” striping, or some subtle gradient design based off sunrises/mountain ranges. Colors could play #1, everything else is an accessory. Unfortunately this is not the ideal world, the cardinals would never do that, and I remain entirely baffled where they will take their identity 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
