I just don't understand why they didn't alter the home jerseys? They changed the away ones a little bit... changed the pants and the stripes and obviously changed the helmet color. They can do the jerseys any combo they want as long as the pattern stays the same mostly and the color scheme stays gold, dark blue, and white. Sooooooooo, why didn't they foresee this problem and alter them like they did the away? MAybe make the numbers solid white with gold trim instead? And white on the sleeves instead of gold? It makes no sense other than someone just didn't think it through.

They're not allowed to change the actual jersery, the pants and helmet are fine though. Both home and away jerseys are unaltered aside from the collars.

At this point though, superstition is going to have me lobbying them to keep these hideous things on.

JACKSONVILLE – With the Jaguars playing in their home white uniforms Sunday, it meant the Rams having to go to their mismatched uniforms in which their helmets and pants don’t fit with their blue jerseys. Much like what happened against the Cowboys two weeks ago, except they swapped out the blue pants with white ones.

Either way, it looks hideous. And the Rams understand as well as anyone. In fact they petitioned the NFL this week to let them wear the same throwback uniforms they wore last week against the Seahawks to avoid the mismatched look.

According to Rams president Kevin Demoff, they held out hope all the way to Wednesday that the league would grant them the waiver. The NFL, though, denied it and so the Rams were back to looking like an orphanage team.

Why is the NFL so resistant?

By rule, each team can wear their throwback uniforms twice a year. The Rams put this year’s game selection to a fan vote, with the Seattle game last week and the Dec. 31 game against the 49ers being selected.

The way the NFL sees it, if the Rams were allowed to wear their throwbacks for three games, what would prevent another team from asking the same?

One alternative would have been the Rams wearing their throwbacks against the Jaguars on Sunday and wearing their regular home uniforms in December against San Francisco.

Demoff, though, felt that would be letting the Rams home fans down.

The Rams, incidentally, will make a permanent uniform change upon moving into their new stadium in Inglewood in 2020.

I'm ok with wearing these uniforms in the Superbowl.

I think out of all places in the U.S (for a football team), you got to have the right uniform in Los Angeles. Not only do you have to win, but you have to look good in doing so. At first I liked the blue and white jerseys, but something about those yellow and blues just pop on the screen, especially those helmets. I'ma be honest with you, watching them play in that uniform today was embarrassing. I don't know who the fuck is in charge of uniforms but somebody deserves to get fired over that immediately.

P.S: I don't know who we think we are, that thinks we can get away with putting that horseshit out there.

And those orphans just kicked some putrid gold and turquoise ass so.... They still have horns on their helmets - right? Screw the rest. #originallogo

I couldn’t care less about the uniform as long as the amount of Ws we have are a greater value than the Ls

NFL rule states full uniform change allowed once only 5 years. Since 2020's new uniform is within the five years, Rams don't want to do a full change at once now.

So, they changed the helmet and pants for 2017. They can then change the shirt in 2018 so it all matches.

Then, roll out a whole new uniform in 2020. This should be the only messed up uniform season.

On the bright side, forever and whenever you see a 2017 highlight, you'll easily know it's from 2017 just by the funky ass uniform!

If we keep wining in the mixnmatch kit - I'm all for it! #GORams

 

[Zodi]

Shouldve just kept the same uniform as last year until they were ready to completely change. I guess they're going white horns, so they wanted to ease people into it lmao. Rams went from yellow to gold in STL without a hitch, tho. I don't understand it.

Rams uni's still look better than the uni's Jag have to wear.

I'm sure you're right but I thought the away jersey changed a little on the sleeves? But oh well, that sux. Should have just left them as is until a proper change could be made.

Good news is looking at the schedule I don't see another obvious game where they will be forced to wear them. So this could be the last game we're forced to look at them.

 

[den-the-coach]

FWIW's the white pants looked better and highly doubtful they will don the blue jerseys the rest of the year. Overall, I'm okay with the uniforms as long as they keep winning and I am sure the new ones will be off the charts and get all us pumped up.

Jags have the worst uni's in the league.

Home vs Falcons 2016

Away vs Bucs 2016

Away vs Cowboys

So what's the Big Deal!? If it makes Fan Happy, the League should be happy with it! Let them Change when-ever!
