Los Angeles Rams: Twitter reactions to the Rams’ new logo
By Jason Reed
The Los Angeles Rams unveiled their new logo for the 2020 season on Monday and fans are weighing in, and oftentimes, making fun of the new logo.
The Los Angeles Rams are moving into So-Fi Stadium to start the 2020 NFL season and the move into the massive new stadium brings a new logo for the team.
A few weeks back there was a leaked logo that appeared to have the Rams’ horns branching off from ‘LA’ text face. Ram fans were hoping that this was fake, as the logo looked more like a Chargers logo than a Rams logo.
The leaked logo on the hat was slightly different from the logo that the Los Angeles Rams unveiled on Monday, but It was still very similar.

The blue and yellow are more of a homage to the old-school colors of the Rams, which seemingly is what the fans wanted when the team moved back to LA. The Rams are calling the colors “Rams Royal” and “Sol”.
The team’s secondary logo looks more like the traditional Ram that we are used to seeing, but it has taken a different approach and has more of a 3D design. Of the two logos that were unveiled, the Ram definitely takes the cake for being better looking.
It didn’t take long for the jokes to start flooding in, but that is usually typical of these types of unveilings. Personally, I do not think I have ever seen a logo, or a mascot, that didn’t get completely ridiculed upon being announced (except for Gritty, he’s the best).
But it is pretty ironic that the Rams changed their logo and the Ram in their logo despite literally constructing So-Fi Stadium to look like the Ram that was the team’s old logo.

Personally, I really like the font on the wordmark that the Ram decided to go with as it is unique and sleek yet is still not overly complex and is simple.
However, the logo itself is reminiscent of when the Los Angeles Chargers unveiled a new logo that looked like a hybrid rip-off of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Lightning. The Chargers quickly changed pace and did not go forward with that logo, I doubt the Rams will do the same.
If the team was going to change it they would have changed it weeks ago when the logo was leaked and got outrage from the fans. The team is probably hoping that this eventually passes and the fans get used to the new normal for the team.
They do have a nice fallback option as that Ram head is a pretty cool design, although even it is not free from getting criticism. Fans cite the lack of a mouth and eyes for the Ram for it being an incomplete logo.

Overall, it is probably pretty safe to say that the Los Angeles Rams’ new logo is not exactly what the fans wanted and perhaps just restoring back to the classic Rams logo when the team was in LA would have been the better move.
