The NFL uniform landscape is always a hot topic among fans, and designer Greg Seher has thrown his hat into the ring with a series of concepts and tweaks. After exploring each division in the NFL, we’re diving into his NFC West proposals, with a particular focus on the La Rams Uniform and how Seher envisions its future.
Seher’s approach is rooted in a blend of classic aesthetics and modern sensibilities. Before we delve into the specifics of the Rams, it’s worth noting his overarching uniform philosophy. He advocates for simplifying the often-crowded world of alternate uniforms, suggesting a return to standard dark home and white away uniforms for most teams. He also proposes each team have dark and white throwback options, with league-wide throwback games on Thanksgiving. Interestingly, for some teams, he suggests “fauxback” exceptions where true historical throwbacks might not fit modern uniform standards. Other general principles include favoring smaller wordmarks below the collar over large, college-style chest wordmarks, and eliminating logos from the back collar of jerseys.
Los Angeles Rams Uniform Redesign: Bright Blue and Yellow Revival
When it comes to the Los Angeles Rams uniform, Seher draws inspiration from their St. Louis Rams era, specifically the navy and gold design. However, he suggests a vibrant color swap that could truly make the Rams stand out. Seher believes that swapping the navy and gold for a brighter blue and yellow palette elevates the look, creating a more striking and visually appealing LA Rams uniform. This concept isn’t entirely new, echoing the brighter hues seen in some earlier Rams iterations, but it modernizes the classic St. Louis design for today’s NFL.

Beyond the primary home and away Rams jerseys, Seher also proposes throwback options. He highlights the 1951 championship season yellow throwback uniform paired with a navy helmet as a strong alternate look. Additionally, he suggests incorporating the 1960s white horn design as another throwback possibility, offering a nod to different eras of Rams history. These throwback concepts allow the Rams to tap into their rich visual heritage while still maintaining a contemporary primary uniform set.
In conclusion, Greg Seher’s LA Rams uniform concept offers a compelling direction for the team’s visual identity. By drawing inspiration from the beloved St. Louis era design and injecting it with a brighter, more energetic color scheme, he presents a vision that is both familiar and refreshingly modern. His throwback suggestions further enrich the potential Rams uniform lineup, providing options that celebrate the team’s long and storied history. Whether the Rams organization will consider such a change remains to be seen, but Seher’s concepts certainly provide food for thought for fans and uniform enthusiasts alike.
