The explanation for the stitching is just a cringe worthy as the explanation for the colors and Fibonacci horn/wave. These people don't deserve to be employed. If they want to try and pass that shit off at a fashion show, fine. But I thought this was still supposed to be a football team?

Maybe we should check with the players to see if they're embarrassed to wear that stitching. Jack Youngblood and Hacksaw Reynolds might have been, but that's a long time ago. If Aaron Donald isn't embarrassed by it, maybe I won't be, either. I'll go by whatever Aaron decides.

I'd really like to know how the new uniforms are playing with non-old timers. It's clear where our demographic stands (for the most part).

The few younger fans i know like the new uniforms. Two of our members BuiltRamsTough and HornyMcVay dig them and they're newer to the Rams than most of us.

Big picture younger demographic-wise, i do wonder how it's going...

I don't agree with that approach. For example, I would not concede fashion advice from guys like Deion, Irvin, etc. so why should I just forego my own opinion? I don't need anyone to tell me what I like or don't like.

In general, IMO, if you have to squint your eyes, look at it from just the right angle, rationalize that it isn't really "that" bad...you've answered your own question without having to ask.

I can appreciate trying cultivate a younger audience but I don't see how you take that approach at the expense of your base. Whether the NFL likes it or not, the majority of their fans are 50 year old white guys. Alienating them in favor of something "fashionable"(aka trendy), seems like a huge misstep.

You're the one who said, "But I thought this was still supposed to be a football team".

Silly me, I thought that meant asking the men who actually play the game. I mean, who is more qualified to define what's manly enough for football players? You, me, or the actual Rams players? (Hint: There's a right answer here)

I didn't say anything about "manly", you inferred that.

What I actually said was that the pretentious drivel was more suited for fashion shows than for football. And I would not defer to a football player for fashion advice or overall design ideas.

However you want to phrase your objection to the stitching, that's fine. You implied that the stitching is an embarrassment to a football team.

But you don't have to wear it, and the Rams players do. Maybe they think it's just as pretentious as you do. Maybe not. Either way, I think their opinion on the subject is more than relevant. I would honestly like to know what they think. Maybe eventually, some of them will comment on it.

Why are you glossing over the fact that I specifically said that it was yet another example of pretentious "explanation"? I never said the clothes themselves were pretentious. I think they're horrid, but that's a different thing.

Sorry, I thought that part was secondary to the actual stitching. Yes, I agree that the Rams' explanations of both the stitching and the uniforms in general were very poorly done, very pretentious. The fact that they went into such elaborate, flowery language over the origins of the concepts made it seem fairly obvious that they felt the need to convince people, rather than just letting the uniforms speak for themselves.

I swear, me and my friends love the new unis and we kinda like the new logo. We’re 5 Rams fans in our 30s..

The only thing we kinda don’t like on the unis are the gradient numbers. However, we’re giving it a chance to see how they look on game days
