I respect your pain.



I had no problem at all with that uniform, personally.

But your pain is your pain.

LOL...Thanks zn. The pain is almost gone. I should be totally healed by 2020.

Seriously though. it could have been worse. I am just glad they didn't change the name to The Stallions or something like when the Browns went to Baltimore and became the Ravens. I felt bad for the Browns fans. Glad they got their team back.

Not sure if I could have followed the team if that would have happened. I would be curious to know if others could have followed after a name change like that.

We;re different.

I followed the Rams since my early 20s. I followed them exclusively no matter where I lived. Somtimes I would have to drive miles to a sports bar that showed them. Regularly I was the only Rams fan in places like that (direct tv changed all that). They were always the Rams and there was never even the smallest hint of a fear that they would change their name---that move, or this move.

I look at the uniforms objectively. To me that is never influenced by things like where they played. To me, the Rams home town was always tv.

....

My story is a bit different. I became a Rams fan in my early teens, in 1966. So I started with the blue/white. But I got excited over the change to blue/yellow in 1973. I never lived in LA, most of my life has been in NY and CT, and while I watched almost exclusively by way of TV, I seemed to live vicariously in LA, and connected with the history of the team going back to early days of Waterfield and Hirsch. I endured the move to STL, reveling in the few years of the GSOT, but mostly feeling disgust and frustration of most of the STL years, never liking those STL colors. I always found it difficult to read the numbers. Still, in all, I felt the connection of location and colors.
