    In regards to this exercise, I think most of the โ€œrealโ€ jerseys that have a place in Rams history should bring meaning to all Rams fans. So I would exclude 1 & 15 because those arenโ€™t real

    I also think 11 & 14 should be tossed out because we never should have had to wear those jerseys and thankfully we got the NFL to agree with us, albeit a year too late

    I have fondness for all of the other ones because they all represent the rich history of our franchise that we all love. And in our process we asked all that were involved to look back at our history for inspiration

    Finally, this isnโ€™t about what I like, what anybody else at the Rams likes or what Nike likes. Itโ€™s a process that involved plenty of fan feedback on colors, logos, imagery and nostalgia. We all carry this franchise forward together as we move into the next era

    99% of the Rams fans I talk to want Royal Blue with Yellow that we wore during the Eric Dickerson years. In fact new variations of the 80โ€™s uniforms is exactly what Rams fans want. If you present anything other than that, you simply arenโ€™t listening to the fans. Donโ€™t let us down

    Kevin Demoff@kdemoff
    David, I would say I get this sentiment from about 75% of Rams fans as well. But to be honest, thatโ€™s mainly surveying the current subset of fans that have memories of those teams and that era. Goal of redesign is to take those memories and modernize for next generation

    Kevin, I don’t mean this to be in any way disrespectful, and I respect the fact that you are engaging the fans, but if you get this sentiment from about 75% of the fans, what does it matter if it’s current subset or future? If your brand is strong enough, then fans shouldn’t need a modernization. Have the Packers, Steelers, and Bears needed makeovers over the years? It’s not the uniform. It’s the story it tells, and the legacy it brings forward. You don’t need to impress the new generations of #LARams fans with some type of modernization.You’ve got gold (no pun intended) on your hands now. The current throwbacks evoke everything most of us love about this team. Those are the colors most recognized from LA, and that’s close to the uniforms the team won the Super Bowl with…in St. Louis. Best wishes.

    Kevin Demoff@kdemoff
    This is another common sentiment we get. I understand that perspective, but unlike those franchises where the uniform tweaks over time have been fairly minor or simple, our franchise has a history of different looks, color schemes and logos.

    If our franchise had never changed uniforms, logos or colors, this would be a much different conversation and we could continue the power of that brand. But our history is full of different looks and colors and great teams that played in all of those different uniforms.
