There's no way? Based on what?

You don't like the new uniforms? Okay. Cool. Fwiw, most do. 8-) "Most" meaning the greater in amount or degree. When 47 is bigger than 53, then, it won't be most anymore.

OK, so how about a few tweaks?

1st tweak, hook the horn like the classic. Fine, leave the damn 3D line, but hook the horn up. There's room.

2. I have never seen a Ram with that kind of Strahan horn gap. Widen in front of the horns.

3. Then widen the shoulder stripe feature so that it's not so fingernail like.
They seem afraid of bold trim.

The yellow pants (hint: most of the time) makes both tops pop.

Metallic helmets in sunshine might be cool.

They could probably slip those tweaks under the NFL uni BS blah blah radar.

Go RAMOONS !!🌜

I like them very much!

2) Do you think the new uni is BETTER than the throwbacks? (which is what they tried to improve but failed) YES or NO


This creates a false dilemma as the Ferragamo's were NEVER an option. It was not going to happen, we all knew it, so being disappointed with it is a waste of time, IMHO.

I think the final poll option maybe should have been: "F: I don't like them, and you kids... GET OFF MY LAWN!"

There are some things I like as well but somethings I don't like too. Was hoping for better. Maybe my expectations were too high lol.

As for the "false dilemma ", I was just wondering how many people prefer the Ferragamo's over the new uni. I do think they could have "modernized" the Ferragamo's (there are many good examples on the net) and that would have gone over better than what we have now IMO.

The Ferragamos are not necessarily the better design--a lot of the nostalgia for them comes from association with the history. A lot of memorable players and games. It's impossible to separate the history and the look.

Speaking just for myself, I like the idea that Rams history includes both looks, those from the 70s and the 2020 look.

Gotta disagree. The Ferragamo's are by FAR the better designed uni IMO. They have been voted one of the BEST uni's EVER for a long time.

Not sure if the new uni's will get that same kind of recognition. Honestly, I just don't see the new uni even being the same conversation.

Don't you remember how the Ferragamo's grew on you? How you hated them at first but after a while, you could actually look straight at them and not activate your gag reflex?

Oh, yes, they were.

It's not just nostalgia. That was a great look.

My only real disappointment is that I'll never get to see the Ferragamo road whites in action again. That's a beautiful uniform.

I like the new uniforms fine. Not losing any sleep over it. I'm just saying...

I didn't say it was "just nostalgia"--I was just saying it;s hard for me to separate the history and the look and that's part of what the Ferragamos mean to me. Of course it was a great look, I would never say otherwise. But apparently unlike you I like the new one too. I look forward to witnessing some history with those, too.
