When the Los Angeles Rams move to SoFi Stadium next season, they’ll do so with a refreshed look. Not only will they be getting new uniforms this year, but the helmets will be updated, the colors will change and the logo will look different.
That’s all been confirmed by Rams COO Kevin Demoff, which has fans both excited and anxious to see what their team will look like in 2020 and beyond.
A large contingent of fans wants the Rams to keep their throwback uniforms as the permanent ones, tweaking the away jerseys to match the blue and yellow color scheme. Others would like to see the team go back to the navy and white look from the early ‘70s.
While the Rams have only said the updates will honor the team’s history with a modern take, there have been no hints as to what the colors or uniforms will look like.
Or have there been?
Fans on Reddit and Twitter are convinced the Rams are subtly hinting that their new color scheme will be navy and yellow. Recently, the team has used more of those colors on social media, which has alerted some fans.
This tweet from the Rams celebrating the new year is particularly interesting, given the navy and yellow colors.
Turning into the next decade.

The same goes for this one.
Not the season we wanted but we can’t wait to take the field in 2020.
Thank you Rams fans for your support! 💙 #RamsHouse pic.twitter.com/ShVg5Y3xVD

Additionally, the Rams handed out rally towels for the upcoming SoFi Stadium, which featured – you guessed it – navy and yellow colors.
This Rams Nation account on Twitter has a keen eye toward it all, noticing the trend.
I am a fan of the royal and gold but I am also a big fan of these colors. The uniforms will look great regardless. #LArams pic.twitter.com/aMI33m1hiq

On the team’s website, there are other subtle hints at the navy and yellow color scheme. The banner for downloading the app features those colors.
The top banner that reads “One House. One Dream” also uses those colors. So does the link to buy tickets for 2020, as well as the team’s official podcast, “Ramblin’.”
When the Rams announced Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce as Hall of Fame finalists on Thursday, they used the same colors in the graphics. Again.
One step closer.

The team’s Instagram account is littered with navy and yellow accents, as well. The graphics made by the Rams all use those colors, like this one recognizing Tyler Higbee’s season.
The only graphics that don’t feature the darker blue color are the ones they’ve been using all year – like this one from September…

…which they recycled in December, since they were pre-made using clips from Media Day before the season.

Going to navy and yellow would make a lot of sense. It features colors from every era. The navy matches what the Rams wore in St. Louis, as well as the 1960s and early ‘70s. The yellow honors the teams from 1973-1999.
The Rams already wear navy helmets, too, which don’t even match their throwback uniform colors. A switch to navy jerseys would tie the uniform together better without having to change the helmet much at all.
I don't know if I'm buying the whole color leak theory, but I guess the seats at SoFi are navy so it's possible.
If so, are they just finally trying to have the helmets and jerseys have the same darker blue? Maybe they said leave the helmets alone… pic.twitter.com/cadj7lnH9V— skyeattolah (@Skyeattolah) January 2, 2020
Several others on Twitter are noticing this trend toward navy and blue, thanks to the Rams’ subtle hints.
Please don't be the new colors. https://t.co/7jZ685r7Pv

If this is the new color scheme, how y’all feeling about it? I prefer the lighter colors of blue/yellow, but I can dig it https://t.co/SEj3SqPKzt

So the current feeling is the recent colors used by the #LARams in the new scheme is what they've been showing a lot in their graphics. Not sure if that is the case, but do you all think that the @RamsNFL should officially release the scheme to get fans excited for what's coming? https://t.co/T6DouHAInw

It shouldn’t be very long before we find out if the Rams ultimately will switch to navy and yellow, but the colors used on social media seem to be more than just a coincidence.
