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?
I can't find any documentation one way or the other, but my guess is once the uniform change is approved the companies who make Official NFL Merchandise load up on the new stuff, making a mind-change difficult.
If someone wanted to say that they could have just burned it all and loaded up on the old stuff instead I wouldn't argue the point, because it is, of course, feasible. But my gut says the NFL wouldn't have allowed the Rams to change their mind even if they wanted to.
And to be honest, I think the Rams of 2000 wanted to distance themselves from the 'LA' colors and begin to build a following around their 'St. Louis' colors anyway. IMO they didn't even want to hang on to the Ferragamo's despite the potential marketing bonanza.
