I don't have many points to rep, but you just got mine!

Nice.

Since the rest of the team is playing like it was throwing back to late 90s, they might as well look the part.

id take another decade of being in the cellar of the NFL, if it ended in a Superbowl win at the end of it, over a decade of being perennial play off performers like the Eagles,without winnin` a SB, in a heartbeat!

so would im sure fans of the..

Eagles
Lions
Bengals
Browns
Falcons
Bills
Panthers
Jaguars
Texans
Titans
Seahawks
Cardinals
Vikings
Saints...

some very proud franchises with long histories among that list whose fans have never seen their team win a superbowl..is always worth remembering with pride what we have achieved in the past,especially when we have a bad few years...

Cool! I can wear my Phillips jersey to the bash!!!

[GolfnRAMFAN]

I hope they can at least play like that team, with energy and look like they are having fun. And I hope they do the bob 'n weave all game long!!!! Josh can kick from the 15, it would definitely be worth it!

[RealRam]

Excellent. Finally! How I hope they'd still wear the 1965-72 uniform for a couple of games or three as well .

[shower beers]

I want Gold on Gold!

As someone else already stated, maybe they can throwback to 1999 football too.

[blood85]

FINALLY, my team will wear the colors I first saw them in, back in 1978 . Royal blue, gold and white!!

RR, If I read it right there will be a 5yr wait for approval to wear another throwback?
Shoot, I may not be around long enough to see it...

[unorthodox1999]

now if they could just play like that 99 team we'd be in business...

[majorram]

Just can't wait to see the Rams back in their best uniforms this is great news, just hope they play like the 99 Rams...

The Rams are allowed to wear the throwbacks for up to three home games next season. They are not allowed to change throwback uniforms -- say to an earlier style -- for five years.

Some asked why. I am late to the thread, but I'll bet it has everything to do with commerce. The suppliers of the NFL jerseys are being protected and ensured by the NFL that by not allowing another changefor 5 years they will hold down the costs of retooling their looms. Just my cynical side.

[FilthyMcNasty]

Woohoo! I'm delighted with this.

[mhall39]

Will they still use their regular blue jerseys next season too?

RnD, Chris, you're right about the long wait for a different trowback. Grrr!

Fine, I definitely look forward to seeing our SB colors next season, really. I wonder how many players from that era will still be with us: Pace? Little? Holt?
