The helmet with the new horn design is my favorite of all time and I'm not a new fan that has only followed the team for 10 years etc.
The jersey & pants style that they chose I would like to see refined and altered up a little bit over the next 2-4 years etc.
The colors I have no problem with at all.
These uniforms are great to me and I'm probably one of the few that like them better than their old ones in any era prior.
I do prefer the Blue tops with yellow pants and I have no issues with the all white bone combination.
I'm only one opinion though but I'm glad their new uniforms and helmet work for me.
I don't "hate" the helmet. I think most would agree it looks better from a distance though. The helmet looks better from a distance because you cannot see the "break" in the horn and shortness of "said" horn making it look more like our old helmet and less like the new one. The helmet should look great from up close or from a distance. This can be fixed.
Same goes for the Blue over Yellow. It looks better from a distance because it looks more like our old uni and less like the new one. Up close you notice the "flaws" ie; plastic numbers, gradient numbers and those shoulder "things". Nobody knows what the heck those "things" on the shoulder are. Is it an Arch? Is it an attempt to mimic the helmet "thing"?
The whole thing is a perfect example of "trying to be too cute" and "over thinking" when designing it. We don't need a 20 minute dissertation explaining the meaning of each little piece of the design. I don't care about the "Fibonacci Sequence" or the "wave" or "the colors of the L.A. sand" or what the "gradient" represents. I just want a simple uni that says RAMS when I see it.
The good news is it might not be too hard to fix without going back to the Ferragamo's...
1) Make the helmet horn longer and not broken. (I am ok with 3d shading)
2) Make the shoulder "things" solid (not split like it is), make it wider and more over the shoulder, not on the sleeve.
3) Brighten up the colors. they look dull, washed out and faded compared to our previous blue and yellow. The bone's need more blue and yellow added to it. Too much bone has no "pop" at all, IMO.
4) Make Blue\over yellow the home combo and Bone over Yellow or Blue for away. (That is if they insist on keeping bone. I prefer white. It makes the other colors "pop" more than bone)
#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
