but these guys use high end consulting companies to check stuff out
just because the 60 + crowd hear of 30 people doesn't like them doesn't mean much for the world population
Sorry 79, I think you are underestimating how many people dislike the "Bones" and also the whole new Ram uni releases in General. To say that it's just a "60 + crowd hear of 30 doesn't like them" is just silly and unrealistic.
Do you go to any other message boards? UNI posts are the most passionate and most responded to threads there is and the overall consensus is that the "Bones" are the worst uni in the NFL and the rest of the new Rams uni releases (other than the "modern" throwbacks) are not well accepted either.
How about "non biased" articles in the media about the new uni's written by "non Ram affiliated sources"? Almost every one I have seen\read say the uni's aren't well accepted.
Even non Rams fans are not impressed with our new uni's. The majority of non Ram fans will tell you the "classics" were better too and that's not just from 60+ people.
Now, I am not saying that EVERYONE dislikes the new uni's. There are many people that do...BUT...IMO...if you ask almost every Rams fan (and non Ram fans) if the new uni's could have been done better, they will say "Yes. only small tweaks were needed. No need to crap on tradition."
As for those "high end consulting companies to check stuff out"...even they make mistakes! All they had to do was ask their own fans how they felt and what they would like to see or more importantly would be most likely to
BUY and they might have had a more "universally accepted" redesign.
They made this whole thing a LOT harder than it had to be. Demoff messed it up and overthought the whole process IMO. He tried to be a "hero" but turned out to be a "zero" which is EXACTLY how many of the new jersey's I will be buying.
#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
