Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald made an appearance before Super Bowl LIV on Sunday, but not on the field in Miami. Rather, they were featured in an awesome new “NFL 100” commercial that aired just before kickoff.
Donald was seen pushing a bulldozer at SoFi Stadium with Joey Bosa, while Jalen Ramsey and Derwin James were supervising the construction site wearing hard hats.
A handful of fans noticed something very interesting about Ramsey’s construction helmet, though: the colors. They weren’t navy and white and the oft-used royal and yellow, but instead it looked more like the Chargers’ powder blue and yellow color scheme – though slightly darker.
Here’s the helmet in question:

Of course, this little snippet had fans speculating about whether it was a hint at what the Rams’ new colors will be when they unveil their new uniforms and helmet for 2020.

Helmets from 2019 vs today’s commercial. Looks like this might have been the first hint at the new uniforms? @kdemoff tell me I’m right. pic.twitter.com/av7MjLgTx1

Our friends at Turf Show Times trolled everyone overanalyzing the helmet with this tweet, too.
After extensive analysis on the helmet Jalen Ramsey was wearing in those bit, I can definitively say one thing about the new uniforms.

To further add to the speculation, Donald’s shirt looked like it was a very similar color to Ramsey’s helmet – slightly darker than the Chargers’ powder blue, which was worn by Bosa in the clip.
Are you surprised AD's offseason workout includes putting in 💪 at @SoFiStadium?

This could all be nothing, or it could be the Rams hinting at their new colors. But it’s hard to imagine them going with a color scheme that’s so similar to the Chargers’, who will be sharing SoFi Stadium with the Rams.
We’ll just have to wait and see what happens with Los Angeles’ uniforms, which Kevin Demoff confirmed will be available by July.
