What's interesting to me about your perspective...

is that it exemplifies a theory I have.. it's NOT about nostalgia. I'm a B&W guy, by the way.
The Ram's did not wear B&W for, I think, nearly a decade after I started cheering them... and they wore them for only what? 6, 7, 8 years? In their entire history.
Ok, my point.. .you like the B&Y's, I think, because they are B&Y... right? Not because it's what we won the SB wearing, necessarily anyway? It's subjective... and thus, no two people are ever going to perfectly agree.
About winning the SB in B&Y's.. I don't mean to imply that is of no relevance.. it is. I maintain it's NOT entirely nostalgia.. I do admit the Fearsome Foursome in B&W's was the most 'powerful' vision ever for the Rams... AND... the B&Y's winning the SB represents the greatest Ram team that ever took the field, and as such.. I LOVE that color combo.
I get the exact opposite reaction as you... the B&Y's, (although I like them a LOT), do NOT impart 'power' to me at all. The B&W's do. EVEN THOUGH.. through my entire Ram fan career they have NOT been in B&W.
I'm is a good place.. they'll be going to B&Y's when the new stadium opens.. and I'm going to be perfectly fine with it, even though it's my 2nd choice.
IF, however, they continue to use "Niner Gold"... I'm going to be the most miserably antagonistic poster on this board for many years to come
