It looks like classic Rams and also solves the issue of the navy helmet/royal jersey that people seem to hate (never bothered me). I love this. You out to see these fantastic combos this guy did with it. I like the navy blue, but at least lighter. Royal blue and navy blue are my favorite blue colors next to azure blue. And when it comes to yellow, athletic gold is my huge favorite. I always see this. L.A. Chargers: True blue (azure blue tone) Detroit Lions: Honolulu blue New York Giants: Royal blue Buffalo Bills: Royal blue Chicago Bears: Midnight navy Dallas Cowboys: Navy blue New England Patriots: Navy blue L.A. Rams: Either royal blue or just straight navy blue can go well with athletic gold rams horns Denver Broncos: Academy blue helmets are better than their current navy Indianapolis Colts: Royal blue all the way Houston Texans: I prefer they lighten their navy or steel with a dark royal blue shade so it will pop since it looks too black with that red But these look so Michigan Wolverines, but I LOVE THEM SOO MUCH! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue jersey combos: Wk 1 lost in all-blue Wk 2 won in blue/white Wk 4 won in blue/white Wk 5 lost in blue/white Wk 8 won in all-blue Wk 10 lost in all-blue Wk 11 won in blue-white White jersey combos: Wk 3 won in all-white Wk 7 lost in all-white Wk 9 lost in white/blue Wk 12 lost in all-white Wk 14 TBD in white/blue So following this pattern, blue/white will be worn next week against Dallas, unless they wear Color Rush again. And then the result of this weekend’s game at KC will determine the pant color for their Saturday night Week 16 game at the Chargers. This is absolutely hilarious 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 For some reason, I find the fact that the Titans always use he word "britches" to be super annoying. And those "britches", like every other piece of their uniforms, suck. 10 1 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Cunningham Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 It's interesting how, in the course of a few posts on this topic, no one has advocated for a direct return to the 70s-90s look (and @MJD7 expressly refuted it), and yet the combination of posts illustrates the slippery slope right back to the throwbacks in question. "I would keep the modern look, but go with athletic gold and keep the old horn." "Yeah, and I'd also get rid of the patches and gradients." We're down to discussing the number font at this point, and that's the critique that's also leveled at the Steelers whose uniforms are otherwise essentially unchanged since the late 60s. It's like, collectively, it's not enough until the uniform just is the throwback. This isn't a criticisms of anyone expressing their opinions, to be clear. I just find it interesting that there's always a tweak or two to make, and in many cases these proposed tweaks would end up pushing a look back toward a throwback/older look. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't like about the numbers (and the sleeve design) is that shiny, "Fruit Roll-Up" texture they have, I'd get rid of that. A lot of Adidas uniforms tend to have a similar shiny texture, and it just looks cheap to me. 57 minutes ago, Ted Cunningham said: It's interesting how, in the course of a few posts on this topic, no one has advocated for a direct return to the 70s-90s look (and @MJD7 expressly refuted it), and yet the combination of posts illustrates the slippery slope right back to the throwbacks in question.

I just find it interesting that there's always a tweak or two to make, and in many cases these proposed tweaks would end up pushing a look back toward a throwback/older look. I definitely understand this. Allow me to clarify my stance by saying some things I expressly don't love about the throwback: Others may disagree, but I'm honestly not big on block numbers beyond a few classic teams such as the Packers, Raiders, and Chiefs. I think the number font itself is an improvement with the modern Rams set. I don't like the navy helmet, royal jersey mismatch. The finish on the new helmet looks great, a definite upgrade over the navy in my book. The "ram horn" sleeve stripe clearly isn't adaptable to modern jersey templates. The modern sleeve "loop" is a nice adaptation, although I'd get rid of the "divide" in the middle of it. I honestly like the modern pants stripe more than the throwback one. It's a more unique stripe design, but still fits witin the context of the set. However, all of these upgrades are negated by the highlighter yellow and the baffling choice to put a divide in the horn. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Bolton Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Potentially unpopular take, but even as a uniform detail enthusiast, I find these reveal tweets absolutely cringey and just stupid. What other league in the world tweets out "here's what color our helmet, pants and SOCKS will be next weekend." I miss the days when you found out what teams were wearing when they ran out onto the field on Sunday/Monday. Throwback announcements once or twice a year are fine but these "helmet -- jersey -- pants -- socks" detail announcements make my eyes roll further back in my head than human anatomy allows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go a step further... I miss the days when you knew what the team would be wearing because they only had one combo for home and one for away. I love an occasional throwback or an alternate, but there shouldn't be this much guessing as to what teams might look light on a week to week basis. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to enjoy the mystery too, but in today’s NFL I’d rather know ahead of time if a matchup will look good or terrible rather than turning on my screen to see a bunch of white unitards without any advanced notice. But I agree the posts are pretty cringeworthy most of the time. I would say the ability to give feedback is a plus, but too many people on there have horrendous taste that it does more harm than good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how they're like "Teal pants are back!!" as if they're a commodity that the team can't control. Like they were sold out for 6 months, but are now back in stock, or something like that. If it's a big deal that teal pants are back, and you control the supply, doesn't that indicate that they should be worn with the white tops by default? 8 3 Quote "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."
