Thanks I agree totally. But I used, ah, different words on X the other day at the dumb comparison. But that cesspool isn't real life so it never happened!The constant comparison and complaint that the 64-72 Deacon, Merlin, Roman's are "too close" to the Colts uniforms is a lazy criticism, in my humble opinion.
Only so many primary colors that are top tier to go around. Teams are gonna have the same colors.
The 64-72's look great, always have, and I NEVER think of the Colts when I see them.
People HEAR it, then PARROT it.

And you can also make the argument that the Blue version of the Fearsome Foursome's is WAY more identical to Dallas Cowboys Blue jersey than any Colts comparison, White OR Blue.Thanks I agree totally.

Isn't that somewhat the same thing? Here is what I love about fashion, you can look regal in the classics, you do not even need dynamic colors, classic black & white can transform you just like tomato red or royal purple of today. I feel the same way about uniforms, if done right, the classics can still look majestic and I am glad the Rams went back to the future.I swear, you guys care about the Rams' uniforms more than I care about fashion - and I love my fashion.![]()
Yeah pretty close except for the cowboy's custom serifed athletic number font. I always liked these vintage dark jerseys. Simple was fine. Emphasis was kept on the helmets. Too bad Jerruh f*d their jerseys up later.And you can also make the argument that the Blue version of the Fearsome Foursome's is WAY more identical to Dallas Cowboys Blue jersey than any Colts comparison, White OR Blue.

Southern California heat also factored in. Let the visiting team sweat it out!!When the Rams wore the white and navy uniforms, wasn’t color a moot point considering most households had black and white television?

To my knowledge, the Rams wore these uniforms specifically because they looked good on black and white tv.
It was actually Tex Schramm, or whoever the Cowboys Owner was in '81 who deleted these beauties cause he thought they were jinxed.Yeah pretty close except for the cowboy's custom serifed athletic number font.

Actually the reason they went to the blue & whites was because it looked better on the black & white TV's whereas the Yellow was faded.When the Rams wore the white and navy uniforms, wasn’t color a moot point considering most households had black and white television?

Schramm was the Cowboys' long-time GM. Before Dallas, I believe he was in the Rams front office for years.It was actually Tex Schramm, or whoever the Cowboys Owner was in '81 who deleted these beauties cause he thought they were jinxed.
I am pretty certain @Loyal was at that game.Actually the reason they went to the blue & whites was because it looked better on the black & white TV's whereas the Yellow was faded.

Umm, I think you just said the same thing, haha.Actually the reason they went to the blue & whites was because it looked better on the black & white TV's whereas the Yellow was faded.
Just looked it up, it was Murchison.Schramm was the Cowboys' long-time GM. Before Dallas, I believe he was in the Rams front office for years.
I also think Dallas has only had three owners since it came into the NFL (1960 or 1961).
Clint Murchison was the original owner and held the team for around 25 years, with Jerry Jones being around since the late-'80s. In between, I believe the owner was Bum Bright ... Bum was a nickname ... I hope.
Dunno if this has been said but our blue and white is way bolder and sharper than the Colts.
I set myself up for thatView attachment 76366
Not an ideal response, but I will take any opportunity to post a Cotton and Pepper gif ... I am weak
