No Farragomos, no blue and whites and no stupid horns on the sleeves. Start fresh and go contemporary.

There it is .. the crux of the problem. The sleeve horns don't work anymore since the pads are smaller and the sleeves are just about gone. Now they are designed to roll under the pads. The "fingernail" reference is spot on,,, or is it a defacto Nike logo.. :?

Also true is that Nike is colorblind. Those are not our old colors. If they are going in that direction, they need to get that right.

Someone mentioned the colors are to "flashy". A bit of pop and flash is good imo. But to be it's more about the tradition and history. The Steeler's, Skins and Packers have that flashy yellow and carry on their tradition. The Rams had the look but GF pulled the rug out from under what was one of, if not the best uniform in the NFL.

If they get the colors right and utilize the general pant, helmet and jersey design, lose the shoulder horn and "snail" logo and go back to 60's shoulder stripe & numbers on what's left of the sleeve, that could be a solution.

Even if they kept the current jersey, but used the right colors, that would make a world of difference. After a few more seasons of this butt ugliness, we're going to need that difference. I already do..

I have no idea what they will do but I’m pretty sure it won’t include red. I’d rather have Fisher back than red horns!!!

Ain't this the truth? Speaking of Nike being colorblind, how about the new Nike Lakers unis? That yellow is not Laker Gold. At first I thought it was just me, but the closer I looked, I could even see the difference between the uniforms, and the Laker gold painted on the floor along the baselines, or on the Laker logo.

But I digress. As for Rams unis, I loved the horns on the jumbo sleeves of the Ferragamos. But I agree, the new sleeves do not lend themselves to that horn. So they'll have to do something else with that. But I do want the royal blue and canary yellow from the Ferragamos. Like others have said, I'm warming to the blue and whites. It's not bad. But the truth is, long term, I prefer the blue and yellow, and I hope the current blue/white thing is just temporary. The current blue jersey with the white horned helmets looks awful, though, and I wish there were something they could do about that.

I'm fairly certain that Demoff, at least, knows what the majority of fans wants, so I really don't think they're going to go off the rails with a totally new color scheme. That would be awful. Especially one that included red.

Stan Kroenke doesn't give two fucks what anyone thinks the LA Rams should be wearing color wise.

Odds are ,with the helmet, they are hinting at a blue- white future...fact is those 80s uniforms would be too gaudy now. The Packers balance out as a flat base on the helmet and pants ...but a big loopy yellow horn, or yellow sleeves just isn't right anymore...unless the entire league goes back to bright colors...it's more gothic now...Titans and Jags will also change

The man who got rich building shopping plazas next to a Wal Mart doesn't care what people want?
