I always liked the old early '80s uniforms of the black and red stripes with the Cardinal on the shoulder sleeve on the white on white in the St.Louis Cardinals days (have a Lomax jersey and it is one of my favorites)...would look great going back to play in St.Louis and kind of remind the Rams they should go back to California LOL :D

They were great uni's. The Rams could go back to their old blue/white color scheme from the Deacon Jones/Merlon Olsen days.

as long as they do not present a Deacon Jones pass rush to go against Warner doing a Kurt Lomax to Q Green TD play :)

Hey JG-----I like those uni's too. Whiz is superstitious though, and I seriously doubt that we will change anything on the road until we lose at least one game.

I'm not doubting you at all.. but I have never seen anything that supports this.

Can you elaborate?

Pretty common knowlege----he has even aluded to being somewhat superstitious during at least one interview that I saw. Most sports figures are superstitious to some extent. Most have little quirks that they observe on game day etc. Ask around, you'll find out quickly enough. Check out his faded red practice hat, I doubt that he has changed it since the season began, (possibly never even had it washed).

We have to be the only team in the NFL who hasn't worn any throwbacks. Is it Bidwill's cheapness or what?

New Uni Idea...

Anquan Boldin's hoodie sparked so much discussion (mostly favorable) that I'm hoping the Cardinal brass will consider making its "3rd uni" all black with white numbers and a red slash around the armpits and red trim down the trousers.

I could be wrong though but they should wear throwbacks at some point.


You were correct your first post.NFL or no fun league rules state you must clear with the NFL in at least a year in advance what game and what throwback uniform you want to wear.That must be cleared through the NFL's front office.

Of course old fans of the team love it but most teams are doing it to provide more revenue to the team through sales of throwbacks to the new and upcoming fans of that team.

If a team has the idea to change its uniforms it has to be cleared 2 years in advance by the NFL.A team can't just wear what it wants when it wants.SHAME if you ask me.

Maybe there is some small loophole that provides a team like the CARDINALS to change up the home uni's from the all RED we saw last week against the seahawks from what we have worn previously in this seasons home games,being the RED tops and white bottoms.

I expect we don't have any options on the road except for the white on white.Maybe we have the option of red bottoms with white tops but that is purely a big giant guess.

I just know all throwback ideas have to be cleared at least a year in advance for the exact games and how many times you can wear the throwback jersey in one year.

In my opinion the Jets and titans are wearing out the old stuff and wearing it too much the last two years for my tastes.The Jets seem to really enjoy playing in the old N.Y. titans uniforms of black and gold like they did last year also with favre.

I wonder why the titans would want to wear the old oiler throwbacks myself?I just don't get it.Houston already has its own team now and probably could care less to buy one.Bud Adams did'nt make any friends moving to Nashville.

I noticed the rams are wearing the 99 Superbowl uniform throwbacks this year and from what I read on the herd board they had to inform the NFL last year of what games and how many times they were gonna wear them all season and get it approved.

So if you want coach Whiz to throw in your favorite throwbacks.Maybe you can get Darren Urban to put a bug in his ear for next year.

Our road whites have looked GREAT in FOUR STRAIGHT ROAD WINS and going for a team record FIVE STRAIGHT this Sunday at Louie.I'm starting to really enjoy them.Can't say the Jags,Seahawks,Giants,Bears did though.:D I'd really love for us to win out with these uniforms this year and complete the full ROAD WARRIOR test of 8-0.We've got the rams,then our biggest test in Nashville and an up and coming titans team,We'll see the white uni's on MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL against the 9ers and to close out the streak we wear them in Detroit for the Lions.

Of course one game at a time and injury's hopefully stop occurring and folks get well as we go into the playoffs with a ROAD WARRIOR mentality.:D

It's a year long celebration of the 50th anniversary of the AFL. Each game featuring two of the original AFL teams will have both teams wearing throwbacks. Even the refs wear throwbacks.

I am with Jetstream - I would LOVE to see the mid '80s St. Louis Cardinal white on whites at the Dome. Those were simply awesome unis. The black trim and stripe were really cool looking - would be a classic move in a game in their ole stomping grounds as we convert even more Rams fans back over to the good side!
