LOL...ok
Again, nothing is perfect. There are things I would want changed on both the old
and the new uniforms/helmets. I love certain things and dislike certain things on both. So you can see, in your philosophy I had to "settle" on certain aspects of the old school jersey too. So again, I say there isn't a 100% like or dislike of either jersey for me and probably for a lot of us.
Old Uniforms:Helmet horn - loved (but they are thin and need to be thicken more so maybe I should say "like a lot" but could be better)
Color of helmet (darker blue) - just ok
jerseys:
Colors (blue/yellow) - loved
Horns on sleeves - OK (current jerseys have very short sleeves so no great "wrap around horns" anymore like in the 70's-80's which I loved)
New UniformsHelmet horn - Like a lot but the traditionalist in me would like a solid horn instead.
Color of helmet - love the new colors!
jerseys:
Colors - love them both home and away (see, I can love both old and new
)
Emblem/sun/horn on sleeves - ok - I would rather have something else but these new designs don't bother me.
Gradient - don't like. I would want solid stripes and numbers (rounded numbers are good)
Now this is a very general comparison but what I'm saying is that I'm not "settling" on anything as a whole but instead there are several aspects on both the old and the new uniforms that I have opinions about.
lol...yeah. Actually I think we both agree on all points but I actually am willing to say I like the old look better. IMO, one is distinctly better looking than the other. Having said that, there are things I would have "tweaked" on the old style Ferragamo's too. Just like you.
My biggest gripe is the neutering of the helmet horn! It does affect the way I see the helmet and not for the better. IMO, the new changes all make the uni look "weak", "soft" and "over thought". I DO like the colors just as you do. At least they got that right. lol
I do know that I will not spend one DIME on the new merch. It just isn't appealing to me. Have a great Holiday RFT!!
Goooo Rams!!

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
