I guess we'll merge the various uniform hate thread into this one...

Maybe not Mokler, but a lot of dimes will be spent...

I already bought a Blue Donald "Vapor" for $160. Was gonna do a Goff Bone jersey too but figured if I dropped $320 today on jerseys the wife would kill me.

It's funny I'm not as upset as I thought I would be. I started following the Rams when they were wearing Blue and Whites and adore the '70's uni's. At the start of all this I was what I would have classified as a purist. I've come to realize though all change isn't bad. Sometimes it's just hard. Fuck it... back in LA, state of the art stadium, and a semi-new look. Sure there are aspects I'm not a big fan of, like the logo's and a few of the small details on the uni's. At the end of the day though, I'm gonna support the Los Angeles Rams as I have done for the past 50 years. On a side note, speaking of change, it's a good reminder to us all to go back and look at that video they put out today on the evolution of our uniform over the decades

5 Years. 5 Loooooooong Years

[azramsfan93]

NOT. ONE. DIME.

Yeah!! I agree that the one thing we need from our football team is fashion competence!!!



Besides, I love the new threads. Maybe I will buy 2 Or 3 to help make up for you.

5 Years. 5 Loooooooong Years

They have “reserved@ the right to add a couple variations next season if I am not mistaken. So perhaps one of those will blow your collective skirt up. And that’s not including any throwback designs which could be the Roman Gs or the Feragammos or even the unis years prior - including the red and gold versions (now THAT should make everyone sick)

5 Years. 5 Loooooooong Years

Not really. Here it is in writing. I'm not a lawyer: but I'm reading that saying that the commissioner can waive the 5 year rule. Do you guys agree?

Whereas, pursuant to Article 19 of the NFL Constitution and Bylaws, the League has the authority to approve changes in uniform appearance, including logos, colors and design;

Whereas, changes in uniform appearance that are proposed by Member Clubs are subject to, among other things, the notification requirements set forth in Article 19.9(D)(1) and in 1997 Resolution NFLP-1;

Whereas, consistent with the NFL Uniform Code, and unless expressly provided otherwise, the term "uniform" as used herein applies to every piece of equipment worn by a player, including but not limited to helmet, pants, jerseys, wristbands, gloves, stockings, shoes, visible undergarments, and accessories such as headwear, coverings worn under helmets, and hand towels;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 19 and interpretations thereunder, each Member Club is permitted to have one home uniform design and one away uniform design for use during NFL games;

Whereas, the marketing benefits to the NFL and its Member Clubs, and developments in the NFL's consumer products business make it beneficial to revise the notice requirements for uniform changes and permit the Member Clubs to create a third uniform design for use at regular season NFL games subject to certain conditions.

First, be it Resolved, to supersede 1997 Resolution NFLP-1 and to amend Article 19.9(D)(1) to read as follows:

(D) No club shall have the right to make changes in its club colors and/or in the designs of its team helmets or uniforms except in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) Absent specific extenuating circumstances as determined by the Commissioner, if a club desires to make any changes in club colors, uniform appearance, designs of team helmets, designs of team uniforms, trademarks, or trade names, it must give written notice and details thereof to the League on or before March 1 of the year prior to the year in which it wishes to change; must comply with the uniform change notification and approval timeline as established by the League office and amended from time to time, the current timeline being attached hereto; and further must obtain approval from the League pursuant to the Section 19.9(D)(2) herein by December 1 of the year prior to the year in which it wishes to change; otherwise it shall have no right to make any change for the succeeding season.

Second, be it Further Resolved, that beginning with the second half of the 2002 season, the Member Clubs may use a third uniform design subject to the conditions set forth below:

(1) The third uniform design may be one of two options (a) an alternate color scheme, using the colors that are a part of the club's existing color palette (as set forth in Article 19.9 and any Appendix to the NFL Constitution and Bylaws), and using the same design and logo as either the existing home or away uniform, or (b) a previously approved "classic" uniform from the Club's history.

(2) < < this paragraph has been repealed due to the 'single shell' rule > >

(3) The creation of a third uniform design is subject to the notice and approval procedures set forth in Section 19.9(D) of the NFL Constitution and Bylaws, as amended; provided, however, that for the 2002 season only, the deadline for obtaining League approval for a third uniform design is May 1, 2002.

(4) A Club may wear an approved third uniform design at one home game each season in connection with a special event, occasion or anniversary, provided that the Club gives notice to the League office by July 1 of the year in which the selected game is scheduled to be played, the selected game does not conflict with a League event of initiative, and the event being commemorated is approved by the Commissioner.

Third, be it Further Resolved, that a Club may not change its regular home and away uniforms more than once every five NFL seasons, and may not change its third uniform design more than once every five NFL seasons, absent specific extenuating circumstances (e.g., Club ownership change or relocation) as determined by the Commissioner.

Fourth, be it Further Resolved, that the Commissioner, in consultation with the NFL Business Ventures Committee, is authorized to establish policies and procedures relating to the subject matter of this resolution, including but not limited to uniform changes, third uniform design, the use of special event uniforms in connection with League initiatives, and related administrative matters, which they shall periodically present to the membership for discussion.

Fifth, be it Further Resolved, that the NFL Constitution and Bylaws shall be deemed further amended as necessary to accomplish this Resolution.

Attachment to 2002 Resolution G-3:

Uniform Change Notification and Approval Timeline
-- By March 1 of the year prior to the year in which a uniform change will take place, written notice and details of any changes in the uniform must be provided to the League office (e.g., if you want to make a change for 2020, you must notify the league not later than March 1, 2019).
-- By July 1 of that year, uniform color selection and logo design must be completed, having been approved by the club's owner and chief executive.
-- By August 1 of that year, initial uniform samples must be created and approved by the club's owner, equipment manager, and chief executive.
-- By November 1 of that year, final uniform samples are to be provided to the League office for TV testing. Approvals from club owner, equipment manager and chief executive must be certified to the league by this date. If final samples do not arrive in the League offices by November 1 of the year preceding the season in which the change is occurring, the uniform will not be approved.
-- By December 1, the league office gives final approval for use the following season.

I dont want them to relocate and our owner seems like a good one so I'd rather wait the 5 years.

If they were going to abandon what was already great, I just wish they would have made them better, not just acceptable.

imo the helmet horns, gradient and sissy font are NOT acceptable.

I’m saying is the rule is not set in stone by some legal framework. All it would take is eating some crow and asking the commissioner to waive the 5 year “rule”.

Again, look at the NHL and how quickly they dumped the NY Islanders fish stick uniform in the late 90s.

Not sure why they would eat crow. Signs are, most people like them. Or the majority does anyway. Personally, I think they will grow on a lot of people.
