While I'm nervous combining the new helmet with old jersey colours, because it looked horrible on color rush...
This version looks much better.
And... I applaud the Rams for doing something.
The gold has become tired. With the horns, our uniforms are potentially the best in the league... so, I am excited for the potential where this could go.
Also; (I agree with @thirteen28, back in 2000, the blue/yellow was feeling dated.)

The blue in the helmet is lighter in these photos. I like that.
I generally prefer dark blue, but the helmets worn on color rush almost looked black & white when paired with the regular uniform.
Here's hoping the helmet blue looks closer to the rendition the Rams published here;

Just for fun I through in some yellow. I couldn't find a stylus so I used my finger. But you get the idea even though it is sloppy.The blue in the helmet is lighter in these photos. I like that.

It looks like crap.I never liked the blue and white uniforms that much to begin with.
Companies always have to change things just for the sake of changing things. This reminds me of the Dolphins logo redo that I was ragging on last night with a friend

Not a "snarky comment" at all - just putting things into perspective - there's so much fuss about the colours used (Gold vs Yellow / OMG Gold pants / thickness of horns on helmets etc) that it's almost laughable - I wouldn't care if they wore pink and purple with aqua highlights as long as on the field performance is improved.
BUT. I was actually being serious and was talking about the science of colour in sport.
According to the National Geographic & the scientific journal Nature Colour in sport has been a major influencer in winning. British anthropologists Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham reached a conclusion by studying the outcomes of one-on-one boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman-wresting, and freestyle-wrestling matches at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. That Red was in fact more of winning colour than blue. In each event Olympic staff randomly assigned red or blue clothing or body protection to competitors. When otherwise equally matched with their opponent in fitness and skill, athletes wearing red were more likely to win the bout. Hill and Barton found similar results in a review of the colors worn at the Euro 2004 international soccer tournament.
It's also known that orange makes a person seem visually larger than they actually are, which is why you'll see many soccer goal keepers wearing it.
I was merely asking a question, as someone may know more about the subject than myself.
ALSO. I do believe that the only way you breed champions is by winning. Now that may sound bizarre, but I think that the Rams have been a losing side for so long that losing is in their nature. I would employ a sports psychologist to work with the team to exorcise the demons of the past - make them forget about the GSOT era - because lets be honest that's ancient history now in football terms. Now if a change of location, change of strip, change of coaches is what it takes, then I'm all for it.
So, @Rabid Ram, it wasn't meant to be a "snarky comment" and I apologise if you thought it was.

It's all about marketing, it's all about selling jerseys. I've worked with a sports marketing company in the past, that have done international sports uniforms, and one of the main things organisations are concerned with is "will it work with a pair of jeans"! Sad but true.
It's about trying to get your brand out there, the more people wear it, the better, the fuller the stadiums, the better the players respond. And you get draftees saying "Hell yeah, I want to play for the Rams" not like some have said "I hope I don't get drafted by the Rams"
It is about money. Getting someone to buy another of what they already own. If they give the stuff away then it isn't about the money. Sorry but that has been my experience. Sucks to be so jaded at two years old.

The Rams are a primarily a business, of course it's about money. If the business isn't making money, it's not a viable business. But you need your brand out there. You may have the best product in the word, but if it's not seen, nobody will care. Selling jerseys, makes money, but it's also about brand building.
I'm happy with my vintage Warner shirt that my wife recently bought me
Thing is and I agree I don't think it's a snarky comment but we see way too many comments like this, the people doing this aren't the people coaching and putting the product on the field. This is a completely different side of the organization and the fact that Rams employees are doing this detracts exactly nothing from the people like Snead, McVay and his coaching staff along with the scouting staff. People look at this as wasted time and effort but what else are the marketing people going to do right now? They're still putting out the video's and interviews. There's really nothing wrong with this other than the fact that I hate this color scheme.
Hate to break it to you but the NFL is 32 separate businesses owned by 32 greedy men/families that banded together to make even more money.

Its all about brand building, and playing the "NFL game" the teams are businesses primarily these days. I really don't mind these ones, a bit too "Indy" and "Cowboy" for my liking. I fell in love with the blue and yellow jerseys, I think that's why I love the colour rush stuff so much and when I buy my next jersey it will be a colour rush one. BUT, I want a player to MAKE me buy his jersey. The last one I had was a Dickerson one!
MAKE ME BUY ONE!

I'm a designer that does this kinda thing on a daily basis, I know how it rolls, it makes me money
