WTF is Up with the Rams' colors?

They'd be perfectly fine in St. Louis or Cleveland, but the last time they were the Los Angeles Rams, their colors were practically NEON, totally garish, bordering on tacky. In other words, the perfect look for La-La Land! Why can't they replicate the colors they brought to St. Louis BEFORE toning them down slightly for their last few years in Missouri?

Since when were Lakers (or LA) considered tacky? John Fante Sep 2018 #9

I agree. The uniforms from before they left LA were classic. The helmets are the best in the league brush Sep 2018 #6

My understanding was that the current helmet is a throwback to the very early LA Rams days RockRaven Sep 2018 #2

Yes, they are waiting until the new stadium to reveal a new uniform design. trotsky Sep 2018 #12

The Chargers can go back to using powder blue and yellow; the Rams can go with dark blue and yellow Brother Buzz Sep 2018 #13

Not a Chargers fan, but those power blues are freaking awesome. trotsky Sep 2018 #14

If they ever got into the playoffs, it would be like watching UCLA playing Cal Brother Buzz Sep 2018 #15

They only added gold in, I believe, 1972. Before that, their uniforms were very understated and, IMO, looked really good.

But that was decades ago! Just think of how tacky and tawdry the city has become since then.

I think you have us confused with Las Vegas.

Los Angeles is far too dynamic and multi-faceted to be dismissed as tacky.

which predates even the blue and yellow uniforms.

But the pairing of that blue and white helmet with the StL era blue and gold color scheme (and especially the modern/cartoonish logo in blue and gold on the shoulder) is weird.

Since the Chargers also use yellow and blue, I don't know if they will complement that or go a different direction.

Even the 50 yard logo has the blue and yellow helmet.

All's right in the world!

On edit: The LA Memorial Coliseum seats 93,000, and it's full, so the orange anus can go suck a lemon!
