Nike doesn't live up to their end of the deal. The colors are wrong, the shoulder horn, the collar, the leg stripe,,, so if there agreement is what's holding the change back, the Rams should just go for it and pay the fine for the fans.
Besides, wouldn't the current uniform maker still make the new uniform anyway? What do they care unless they have a decades worth of pre-made uni's they could never sell.

What's that on his shoulder?

A White Nike emblem....

In any event, I'm done with this nonsense with you.

I'm going to enjoy the hard fought win, and first place in division.

You enjoy yourself in your Ray Finkel hatred of the Rams and Kroenke and have fun visiting the Ed when the circus rolls around

They can send the St. Louis colored stuff to the same place where the 19-0 Patriots gear went.

I also had to laugh when St. Louis stores like TJ Maxx still had a bunch of Eric Crouch Rams jerseys on the racks like two years later for 90% off and they weren't selling. They had like a dozen in my size. Almost bought one as a joke but didn't feel like spending $10.

It's interesting, I'll say that. Aside from the fact that Kroenke doesn't speak on the record much, I don't think I can ever recall hearing him say anything about the Rams' uniforms. On the other hand, Demoff speaks about uniforms quite a lot. Demoff grew up a Ram fan, so it's only natural that he would care more. But personally, I think Demoff is the one driving the uniform changes. And I think Kroenke doesn't care either way. I do think that Kroenke is the one behind the fact that the Rams are stalling on the grand uniform re-do until the new stadium opens. The stadium is what matters to Stan, so he wants everything scheduled around that.

I also think that during that January 2016 owners' meeting, the Rams had enough leverage left over from winning the vote to get the league to allow an immediate change back to the Ferragamos as a temporary thing until a redesign could coincide with the stadium. But Kroenke didn't care about that, and they squandered their opportunity.

Just my opinion.

I dont think the Rams would have squandered an opportunity to sell "temporary uniforms" and then be able to double down in 2 years when they would be able to sell the new gear. There are big $$ in that and a business man like Kroenke wouldnt just blow that off because he didnt care enough. Just my .02

Just Win, Baby !

I don't care what they wear

[HopHead Ram]

I think the agreements with the manufacturer's play a more prominent role than the bylaws (and probably are the reason the bylaws even exist). They could be wearing hot pink and neon green for all I care as long as they are putting something on the field to be proud of. It's a temporary issue that will be resolved. Does the Rams wearing the current colors really diminish the enjoyment we get watching them play really good winning football? I would argue that it does not, especially for us Rams fans that have witnessed the last decade or so with this team.

Smart and rich sports team owners do weird things.
-Bill Wurtz refused to show Blackhawks games on TV in Chicago.
-the Dodgers TV contract drama
-the Yankees and their YES network screwjob
-Steve Ballmer paying $2 billion for the least liked pro sports team in LA
-pretty much everything Georgia did

Nothing to do with the point but ok....
Had all Kroenke needed to do was ask, and then he could have gotten "temporary uniform" approval, there is no way he would have turned down the opportunity.

Probably not. The only thing I can think of would be the disappointment by many long time Rams fans if they did go Ferragamo and then replaced theose with the new look design in a year or 2 when the stadium opened. This way they are avoiding that...
