Rams' Uniforms Called ‘A Mess’ on New Ranking

The Los Angeles Rams have one of the worst uniform sets in the NFL, according to a new countdown.

Typically when a team wins a Super Bowl while wearing a specific uniform set, those threads become popular because of their association with a championship, even if they aren't especially aesthetically pleasing. 

Apparently the Los Angeles Rams are the exception to said theory. 

Just two years after hoisting the Lombardi Trophy, the Rams were slammed on our FanNation/SI countdown of all 32 NFL uniforms, coming in at No. 27: 

"The helmet that the Rams wear is cool, though not any more than the multiple others they have rocked in their franchise's history. The rest of the uniform is a mess. The rubberish lining inside the uniform numbers is inexplicable, as is the gradient number utilized on Los Angeles' blue uniform tops. The shade of yellow isn't bad on the helmets, but it's just too much when you also combine it with the pants and jerseys." 

Another critique that we would add in regards to the Rams uniforms is the patch on the front of the left shoulder with the team name feels like a failed attempt to emulate a soccer uniform. It's one of the many things on Los Angeles' uniforms that you just shake your head at. 

If there's any silver lining for the Rams it's that they aren't the lowest-ranked team in the NFC West. The Arizona Cardinals -- who have an entire new uniform set in 2023 -- still came in at No. 30. But the Rams did finish behind both the San Francisco 49ers (No. 19) and Seattle Seahawks (No. 20). 

The classic look that the Rams donned from 1973-1999 was much better than their current uniform set. Heck, the navy blue and gold color scheme that the Rams utilized from 2000-2019 -- most associated with the franchise's time in St. Louis -- feels great when compared to their current threads. NFL teams typically are expected to keep a uniform set for at least five years. The Rams introduced their current uniforms in 2020, so they seemingly are stuck with them at least through the 2024 campaign.
