The Rams team colors have been some variation of blue and yellow for most of it's existence. If not for a 9 year experiment because of black & white TV, it would have been all of their years in LA and St. Louis. It rankles me that so many don't like their own colors.I guess it's possible that the re-branding will be done right and we'll have something like the Broncos and Buccaneers got. But I'm not one who thinks the uniforms were an eyesore like the TB creamsicles were. by Hacksaw 5 years 10 months ago Total posts: 24523 Joined: Apr 15 2015 AT THE BEACH Moderator Rams, fans stuck with bad uniforms for at least one more season POST #212 moklerman liked this post The Rams colors are Royal Blue and Canary Yellow. If the brass isn't putting in for a throwback rule exemption, they must be concerned the re-brand might pale in comparison to the Ferragamo's. At least not be widely accepted. It's debatable the Ferragamo's are the best uniform in all of football. The old adage, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" comes to mind. ** DISCLAIMER ** Not so sure about the accuracy regarding Gehrke here. The 64 blue is a great color. Similar to the practice uniforms at camp. I dig that color.But as anyone can see, other than the 2 years the Rams wore red or the B&W TV era blue & whites, blue and some sort of yellow/gold has been the scheme.So out of the 82 years the team has been around 70 have been blue & gold/yellow. 54 years blue and yellow. (I'm counting last year as blue & white)I don't know where they are going but I hope they go blue and yellow. Looks like we'll just have to wait and see... GO RAMS !!! GO DODGERS !!!

If the brass isn't putting in for a throwback rule exemption, they must be concerned the re-brand might pale in comparison to the Ferragamo's. At least not be widely accepted. It's debatable the Ferragamo's are the best uniform in all of football. The old adage, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" comes to mind. The 64 blue is a great color. Similar to the practice uniforms at camp. I dig that color.But as anyone can see, other than the 2 years the Rams wore red or the B&W TV era blue & whites, blue and some sort of yellow/gold has been the scheme.So out of the 82 years the team has been around 70 have been blue & gold/yellow. 54 years blue and yellow. (I'm counting last year as blue & white)I don't know where they are going but I hope they go blue and yellow. Looks like we'll just have to wait and see...Seems like there were so many better options than what they chose. -Just stick with the St. Louis colors/design. Few people seem to prefer them and it would have been an easy sell to re-brand when the new stadium is finally built.-Go with throwbacks. Deacon's, Ferragamo's, Fordham's, Van Brocklin's...hell, just pick one of 'em and honor time spent in the Coliseum.-Re-Brand the uniforms to coincide with the RETURN to L.A. Duh! -I could have even dealt with a USC pairing at the Coliseum and going with the 1 year wonder '49 uniforms.Aligning the re-brand with the uncertain opening date of the new stadium and not having anything else in the meantime just seems like the weakest of all the scenarios. by Hacksaw 5 years 10 months ago Total posts: 24523 Joined: Apr 15 2015 AT THE BEACH Moderator Rams, fans stuck with bad uniforms for at least one more season POST #216 moklerman wrote:Seems like there were so many better options than what they chose.-Just stick with the St. Louis colors/design.

I like the B&W helmets better but they should have actually put those different combinations on an actual person and stood back and looked.

Give notice and switch 'em up every couple years (if the rules allow). More fun for the fans.moklerman wrote:-Re-Brand the uniforms to coincide with the RETURN to L.A. Duh!

And for those old school Rams fans who might still hold some bad juju over the 21 year absence, those StL colors serve as an unwanted reminder. Way no bueno.
