Los Angeles Rams Won’t Change Uniforms Until 2019 Season With Inglewood Stadium

Contrary to popular demand, the Los Angeles Rams won’t change their jerseys until their stadium in Inglewood is ready to use.

According to a report published by the Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles Rams won’t swap their jerseys anytime soon.

With the season coming quickly, the Rams are preparing for a major transition within the NFL now that a football team is back in Los Angeles for the first time in two decades.

When the Rams decide it’s right for a change of scenery, the choice of jersey will likely reflect the team’s roots, indicating that they are ready to move past the thought of St. Louis.

Los Angeles welcomed the NFL back with open arms, with the possibility of a second team joining the Rams still on the table.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, team executive Kevin Demoff said while there are plenty of people who want the old colors back, “it’s not as simple as that.”

And in many ways, he’s right.

It would be nice to see a team like the Rams go back to their classic colors, but since the league requires a two-year advanced notice, Demoff tells the Los Angeles Times that their application won’t be submitted until next season, per the rule.

One option that the Los Angeles Times report briefly touches on is the idea of the Rams permanently going back to their old uniforms — a rule that only needs one year of advanced notice instead of two.

This would mean a quicker uniform update, possibly even involving the implementation of the retro white-blue combination that has the potential to be the re-branding the team is looking for.

The other option that the Rams have is designing completely new uniforms and re-branding the franchise completely once the stadium in Inglewood becomes fully functional.

With the jerseys they have at the moment, they won’t be terrible to watch in Los Angeles for the time being, but what the fans want to see will make enough noise for a change to come in the immediate future.

Since the move became official from St. Louis back to Los Angeles, the team has been trying to ensure that their identity doesn’t get lost in the relocation process.

For many Los Angeles fans, though, they can wait on the jerseys — they just want to see their team come back to the city they love.
