Rams wearing throwbacks, going old school in renewed rivalry with the *****

By Ryan Van Bibber on Nov 30, 11:38a 21

The Rams are pulling out all the stops for a 75th anniversary celebration this week.


The Rams are going old school this week, and it's absolutely the perfect time to do it. In honor of the franchise's 75th anniversary, the St. Louis Rams will don the throwback uniforms for a tilt with historic rivals, the San Francisco *****.
Players will also strap on throwback helmets, though with the modern padding as opposed to the Riddell lids former players are suing over in a multidistrict lawsuit (more on that next week at SB Nation).
You can see the sweet lids up top.
The uniforms weren't the only throwback festivities on hand at Rams Park today. The legendary Jack Youngblood was there to rally the defensive lineman, connecting the young group with the team's historic lines of the past.

Told @stlouisrams boys if you need motivation for this one you're in the wrong business

It was exciting to see Youngblood in the building with the players this week. The Rams have been criticized in the past for ignoring ties to the franchise's history, but things have changed significantly around Rams Park in the last year.

The Rams have a host of activities planned for game day this week to reconnect, or connect in most cases, local fans with the team's past. Isaac Bruce, Jeff Wilkins, Mike Lansford and Vince Ferregamo will be signing autographs for fans in the Bud Light Party Zone. Others on hand for the festivities include Orlando Pace, Torry Holt, Deacon Jones and others. More info can be located at the Rams website.

Anyway, big props to the Rams for making this week's game more than just a chance to sell a third jersey. It's refreshing to see the commitment the Rams are making to fans.

Im still waiting for those too. Would love to see them don the blue and white helmet and unis, but ill take these, still awesome. Maybe we need to start a petition up to make them go with blue and white next year as their throwbacks.

I heard the Rams will be able to change the throw backs after next year. And they are looking at changing the gear to the blue in white in 5 years. Don;t quote me on the last line just rumors. Maybe we go to the blue white as throw backs first.

That was the first thing that came to my mind also.. throw-backs meaning white/blue.

Although the yellow/blue represent the Superbowl victory they aren't exactly throwbacks, imho.

I'm thinking more of the (still a record) seven, YES SEVEN!, consecutive NFC West Championships. Those years immediately followed the change from white/blue to blue and gold.... But then, I digress....

Lets at least be happy we don't go with throwbacks that would make them look like incarcerated bumble bees(e.g. Steelers)

So, you are saying we don't need to go all the way back to the red/black unis? >8)

YESS the same throwbacks worn to crush the Almighty (not so mighty now) Saints last year

Right? It my eyes if you wanted to see what you need to do to be a champion, or successful what is more motivating than bringing in a legend of your own franchise who has already done it before. What a shame. Glad we have a class act in Jeff Fisher now!

p.s. I love Love Love the 1999 throwbacks but I think it's about damn time we bring in those Blue and White ones.
