Rams Uniform examples from the past

i never got to see then in the blue and white. i’d like to at least see that – maybe make it the throwback uni.

i just read that they were red and black when they were in cleveland.

Yes, other teams are obsessed too.

49ers tried to do this in 91 and the fans didn’t allow it.

Whatever they choose as their regular home and road colors, now that they are in LA, they are more likely to wear the old blue and whites as their throwback uniforms. To my knowledge, they never wore those after moving to Saint Louis.

Actually it’s been longer than that. They haven’t worn the blue and white uniforms since the final game of the 72 season.

To be fair, no other fanbase has had a uniform that compares favorably to the Rams.

I think, really, that the uniform identity is also tied to winning. I bet Tampa didn’t have much of a problem changing their uniform.

But if Dallas tried to change their colors or the star on the helmet, hell yes there would be noise.

And minor tweaks are not going to upset people as much as larger changes, of course. The Bears added red to the C. The lines might change here and there. Nobody really gets too upset.

Even the Rams change to the current gold over the yellow wasn’t widely protested.

It’s the horns. It’s the helmet.

I wonder about the Jets. They had a radical change to their helmet. I wonder how that went down because they had the big super bowl/Namath thing in the old helmet (which they have returned to) whereas Tampa changed their helmet without any winning memory, really. And Cincinnati.

I dunno. I don’t follow other teams, but we have a spread of nomads around the country. What about the Patriots’ change?

Joemad is right about the 9ers. But that helmet lasted about 30 seconds before it was shot down. Not sure it was ever seriously considered, actually. But I don’t hear talk of the 9ers uniforms on the radio here. Seems to me the Rams fans are more deeply connected.

Actually it looks like the Rams have changed uniforms more often than most franchises.

Even when the basic colors remain the same (blue/white, blue/yellow, navy/gold) the design changes within that basic scheme.

yeah. nothing can top the horns on the helmet.

the most iconic symbol in sports.

The single most identifiable insignia in the history of the earth.

The Rams horns are the only man-made object visible from outer space.
