Rams Reveal They’re Wearing Throwback Helmet Design for Monday Night Football

The St. Louis Rams will be playing on Monday Night Football this week against the San Francisco 49ers, and they’ll be rocking an alternate helmet design for the game.

On Saturday, the Rams revealed that they’ll be using this alternate helmet design for Monday night’s game on Instagram. The blue and yellow helmets were used in 1999, back when the team was called the “Greatest Show on Turf” thanks to their impressive offense.

The Rams will honor members of the 1999 team at halftime on Monday night. The 1999 team went 13-3 in the regular season before winning the Super Bowl thanks to players like Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk and Torry Holt.

According to Nate Scott from USA Today in September, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were not allowed to use their alternate helmets because of a rule that doesn’t allow NFL teams to switch helmets midway through the year.

Fortunately, the Rams won’t have to deal with this policy. ESPN’s Nick Wagoner reported that the Rams use the same helmets every week, but change the decals on a weekly basis, so the alternate helmets are good to go for Monday night.

Don’t they always use yellow horn decals when they wear their throwback unis? What’s different this time – unless the shape of the horn has been changed back to the way it was in 99. If that’s the case I wish they’d keep it that way.

I don’t like how skinny the horns are on the current helmets.

I agree.

That is our one agreement for the year so please don’t say anything else I will agree with for the rest of 2014.

Thank you.

I have a feeling that they just took the current skinny horns cut they’ve been using and then shortened the front end to sort of mimic the SB helmet.

When are they going to do something to appease their long time fan base and at least try the real throw back white and blue to see the reaction.

who’s feelings in St Louis would be hurt? Wasn’t that their excuse before. They have several LA Rams and some St Louis Cards on their phony ring of honor. Why can’t they truly honor their past?

Yes, I’m bitchy cause it’s that time of the season. 49ers tonight. A dominant win over these whiners would make the season much more interesting.

the ultimate NFL helmet……… I notice the inter-office envelopes laying on the side of the photo….I guess they still have a mail guy at RAMS park and use these to convey information….

I wonder what’s in those envelopes?
