Rams New Uniform Tweaks: And Upgrade

 By John Turney 

The Rams call the "bolder," but they just removed the nonsense. The wordmarks everywhere, the gradient numerals, the split horn shoulder stripe. All those things are better. The egregious horn on the helment, though, remains. 

Gone are the grey uniforms, the so-called "bone," and replaced by white pants and that, too, is an improvement. SO, no grey over grey, no grey over yellow and no grey over blue. Gone. All gone. 

Good.

The short horn was not going to change; they are just too committed to it, so that is life -- you can't have everything, but overall, these look like modern updates of the old Rams uniforms and that is a good thing. 

The bottom line is that these are an upgrade. Slowly but surely, the Nike design of the last decade and a half is being reverted to more classic looks or what amounts to modern versions of classic looks.

The Browns, Jaguars, Lions, Falcons, Commanders and now Rams, some of the worst things Nike did, are now all gone.

Good.

However, there is more. The Rams also posted that there are two more uniforms coming this summer. Speculation is that one will be a yellow jersey to celebrade the days of Crazylegs Hirsch, Tom Fears, Bob Waterfield, Norm Van Brocklin, Deacon Dan Towler, Tank Younger. 

We'll see.

Grade: B (pending the two new kits yet to be released)
