The fact that the Rams changed uniforms right after that SB victory is an unfortunate by-product of the process the NFL uses to implement a uniform change;
That process: "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" [boards.sportslogos.net]
The Rams introduced the gold & blue uni's for the 2000 season, meaning they had to request that change prior to March 1, 1999. Even though they won the SB after that 1999 season and maybe would have like to keep wearing their SB uniforms, the change was already approved (and set in stone).
Good stuff AlbaNY but was it really "set in stone"?
What if the Rams changed their minds as that 1999 season went on and especially after the SB win? Could they have have simply said "Hey, we changed our minds for now" or is it once the "approval is given, it's a no going back think due to merch and stuff?
Surely the Rams and the NFL could see an uptick in merch sales after that SB. There was money to be made on those Ferragamo's and I think the NFL and Rams missed out on that. They still could've made a change later when the team wasn't a good or at the start of the decline.
Thanks AlbaNY. Appreciate the info!
#HelmetHornsMatter
“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
