The Nikefication of the NFL just keeps rolling, with the Los Angeles Rams adding two more alternate uniforms to their lineup this week. Seriously, it’s getting wild trying to keep up with all the helmet, jersey, and pants combos out there. Remember back in April when the Rams unveiled their new base uniforms? Yeah, glad they finally pulled the plug on that “dirty dishwater” option. But now we’ve got more to talk about.
“Classic Sol” and “Fearsome White” Hit the Field
So, first up, they’ve got this look called “Classic Sol.” It features a yellow jersey and white pants. This uniform is all about honoring the team’s 1951 NFL Championship squad, which is pretty cool, I guess, if you’re into that kind of history for *them*. Then there’s the other alternate, dubbed “Fearsome White.” This one is a nod to their legendary “Fearsome Foursome” , we’re talking Rosey Grier, Deacon Jones, Lamar Lundy, and Merlin Olsen. For this uniform, everything is white: the jersey, the pants, and even the helmet logo. It’s a lot of white, that’s for sure.
The Never-Ending Uniform Carousel is Here
It’s not just these two, either. Last year they dropped the “Midnight Mode” uniform as part of that “Rivalries” line, which felt like a flimsy excuse to just push more jerseys on fans. Back when Nike took over the apparel contract from Reebok in 2012, some folks, myself included, worried NFL teams would eventually look just like Oregon, with a new uniform every single week. Well, we’re getting there, aren’t we? It makes you wonder when Nike will convince the league to really go all out and let teams change uniforms at halftime. Honestly, is it ever going to stop?
