Throwback's have to be applied for two years in advance..........did the league grant an exception because of the move?
I saw in another post you mentioned that ESPN said they would be wearing a blue and white helmet. Color changes also have to be applied for two years ahead I thought. Of course it's ESPN and accuracy hasn't been that important to them for many years now. I guess we will find out. As you say whenever that later date arrives. Probably, I would think, they are waiting to the last minute to milk as much merchandise sales as possible, then drop the throwback stuff on the market for people to grab. It's all about the Benjamins.........always will be too.
An aside..........
I don't think they are going to white on white to slight STL or erase the memories, because they can't ever do that. The rings and the trophy say St. Louis and this teams best years (and worst too) were in that city. Any long time Rams fan knows that.
They've been wearing the throwbacks twice a year for the last six years or so....don't think they need to be applied for.
Don't think they're trying to make st Louis disappear at all either....other wise they would have changed the uni,colors and logo back as soon as they landed in So Cal.
The white on white look they are going with at home this year is an homage to the Rams of the coliseum era, not a slight to St Louis.
