The St. Louis Rams Uniforms
If you are watching today's game versus the Vikings, you will notice that the Rams are wearing their blue/yellow old school uniforms. As an outsider who now lives here, I have to ask, why did they change from these uniforms after the move from L.A.?
These are beautiful uniforms!
Much better than the current navy blue/white/stale-puke gold. If St. Louis played in an outdoor stadium and wore these uniforms, I could much easier aquaint myself as a true fan. I mean, obviously I root for them now (unless they are playing the Saints, Bears, or Cardinals) ... but the team would have so much better of a presence.
What are your opinions? Especially if native to St. Louis. Do you like the current uniform or the old uniform better?
As I am typing this, the Rams give up a touchdown. 7-0 Vikings  .

This isn't too difficult. Attention Chip Rosenbloom...stop messing with the uniforms.
Navy tops, gold pants at home.
White tops, gold pants, road. No more all blue, no more white **** blue pants, no more all white, no more navy tops and white pants. So, simply put, no white pants, no blue pants.
Wearing a ten year old flashback uniform once every blue moon is fine. But week to week, blue or white tops, gold pants.
Chip doesn't like the gold pants.

the old uniforms looked great I wish they'd stick with them and maybe go for a darker - navy blue.
the offense looked competent today too. Its a new offense and I'm glad they finally got Avery running vertical. SJ looked good today too. Lauranitis is the best draft pick we've had in sometime. The defense is getting better, I can't wait to get Butler back though he needs to be out there with the secondary.
The team is still competing despite being stomped. I'm actually feeling confident we can go in and get a win off the Jaguars next week.

I think the NFL is the only place you can get away with gold/yellow pants anymore. Blue and yellow is a refreshing change (or change back), but either way we can't seem to win, so I'm not sure it matters that much.

If the Rams could just manage to put a game or two in the Win column, they could go around in pink ballerina tutus IMO!

I was at the game so I got a good view of the uniforms: Old school all the way!

I voted for the old school uniforms. They represent an honorable period for the Rams when they were a respectable, classy and WINNING franchise and not the pathetic, soulless doormat they are now. Seeing that Cleveland pulled a major upset against Buffalo today (my God, what a waste of electricity to even televise that game), Missouri may go 0 for 32 combined in the NFL this season.

I'll take that bet with 10 points!

While Cleveland is not a strong team, their victory over Buffalo would not qualify as a major upset. Buffalo is not a strong team either and has struggled all season.
I'd prefer the Rams to pick a uniform and stick with it win or lose over a long period of time. That has greater value than the quick grab merchandise sale.
