Kenny Washington's claim to fame is breaking the color barrier in the NFL. First African-American guy to sign an NFL contract, in 1946, right after Rams moved to LA from Cleveland.

I had another player picked out but didn't want to start a big debate.

He also has the Rams record for longest gain from scrimmage on a running play - 92 yards.

Dont think its new Jerseys, maybe just some merch, or just a tribe for BHM.....who knows.

 

[LARams_1963]

How cool! Yeah, I'm sure it's a jersey for us fans to purchase, not a game Uni. Hopefully I'm wrong though, it would be an awesome throwback for gameday! I have a framed 1951 Hirsch jersey from Throwback Joe.

Too much like the Colts, maybe add a bit of yellow and Im game.

Colts and Rams had an almost identical uniform style and color in the 1960s, until the Rams changed in 1973.

Fun Fact! One of the reasons for the uniforms was that the simple dark blue and white popped on Television ... Black & White TV ... which is what most people had in the 1960s.

One of the reasons the Rams changed their colors in 1973 was that the same simple dark blue and white was boring on Color TV ... which most house-holds had transitioned to by the early-70s.

Anyone else notice the logo on the NFL patch sown inside? I've never seen that before. Hopefully they replace the "Dicknose" logo they got from a 3rd grader with that one. It looks way better.

It is the same one from the 40's.

Los Angeles Rams Logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG, brand

LA Rams Logo PNG For more than 80 years of their existence the Los Angeles Rams have changed their location several times. First it was Cleveland (from 1936 to 1946), then Los Angeles where they played for nearly half a century. In 1995 St. Louis became the place of their residence until the...

Odd picture. Not only with the yellow turf but did they ever wear the dark blue/gold helmets with those uniforms?

They didn't. It was a promo shot.

Yup and I read that it was part of the deal to moving to LA. Sign this black athlete. And they later signed a couple others too.

 

[XXXIVwin]

Well, crap. We were all hoping it might be a sign of a new uni release, but apparently not. Just some more merchandise to sell to fans.

Glad the Rams have that cool history with Kenny Washington. I just wish the Rams PR department would do more to honor the Rams history in their uniforms and logos.
