Eric Dickerson: Rams' new uniform 'just looks soft'
The Los Angeles Rams became the latest NFL team to debut a new look, unveiling uniforms on Wednesday that feature a return to the franchise's royal blue and yellow color scheme and a revamped horn design.
One person who isn't a fan of the uniforms is former Rams running back - and the team's current vice president of business development - Eric Dickerson, who critiqued the look during an appearance on AM570 Sports.
"I'll say this, the colors are not bad," Dickerson said, according to Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports. "If you wanna change the colors, make them look brighter. The uniform's not bad.
"I just don't like the stripe around the sleeve. It's not big enough. It almost looks like a lightning bolt, like the Chargers' uniform. I don't like the stripe down the pants; I wish it was bigger. And the horn, man, it's horrible. I just feel like they really took away from the Rams' uniform. And it looks almost like the Chargers' logo. It looks like two bananas."
Dickerson also shared what he told the Rams after seeing the uniforms before Wednesday's unveiling.
"This is football. This ain't nothing to do with surfing," he said. "This ain't nothing to do with waves. This is football. This is a man's sport. And to me, it just looks soft. It don't look like football. It don't look hard."
Dickerson was also critical of the Rams' new logo and met with the team's front office in an attempt to convince the organization to reconsider the changes, but his efforts came up short.
