JACKSONVILLE —  With the Jaguars playing in their home white uniforms Sunday, it meant the Rams having to go to their mismatched uniforms in which their helmets and pants don’t fit with their blue jerseys. Much like what happened against the Cowboys two weeks ago, except they swapped out the blue pants with white ones.

Either way, it looks hideous. And the Rams understand as well as anyone. In fact they petitioned the NFL this week to let them wear the same throwback uniforms they wore last week against the Seahawks to avoid the mismatched look.

According to Rams president Kevin Demoff, they held out hope all the way to Wednesday that the league would grant them the waiver. The NFL, though, denied it and so the Rams were back to looking like an orphanage team.

Why is the NFL so resistant?

By rule, each team can wear their throwback uniforms twice a year. The Rams put this year’s game selection to a fan vote, with the Seattle game last week and the Dec. 31 game against the 49ers being selected.

The way the NFL sees it, if the Rams were allowed to wear their throwbacks for three games, what would prevent another team from asking the same?

One alternative would have been the Rams wearing their throwbacks against the Jaguars on Sunday and wearing their regular home uniforms in December against San Francisco.

Demoff, though, felt that would be letting the Rams home fans down.

The Rams, incidentally, will make a permanent uniform change upon moving into their new stadium in Inglewood in 2020.

I will vote early and often for the Ferragamos.

80's blue and yellow ALL day.

Blue and white, while classic, is dull, and the NFL already has the Colts.

And BTW, I always loved the horns around the sleeves - a relatively subtle but unique detail on the uniform. I vehemently disagree with those with no taste who think the sleeve horns look like nail clippings. Them's fightin' words.

Welcome @Cromwell21

Agreed on the Ferragamo's. Blue and White for TB's...

The problem with the shoulder horn is the pads and sleeves are so much smaller the concept doesn't work as well nowadays...

This article talks about the 2020 uniform change. Does this mean we have to endure this ugliness for another 2 year (after this season is over)?
Now that is BS and tells me the team is behind this too or they would have put in for a change on January 13th 2016...

I can see that point. Besides with the color splash banana yellow, the NFL obviously has no problem with the Rams in gaudy uniforms. Can't wait for the permanent change. Hopefully the 80's or some close variation and the blue and white as throwbacks. I really don't mind the banana peels for Thursday Nights. It's better than all blue.

It’s a head scratcher. 2 more years of this? Ugh. Can’t imagine apparel sales are driving this decision. I know I’d be buying a crap ton more if we had permanent colors

Just go back to the Gold to match the gold on the unis for Christ sake. It's not rocket science.
