Johnny Hekker responds to Rams fan’s idea about yellow alternate jersey on Reddit

The Rams will unveil a new alternate uniform this year but Johnny Hekker doubts it’ll be a yellow jersey.

When the Los Angeles Rams released their new redesigned uniforms last offseason, two sets of jerseys were unveiled: Royal and Bone. But the team also shared that alternate jerseys would be coming in 2021 and 2022.

While it’s only March, the Rams still haven’t said anything about the new uniform combination that will be revealed this year. Fans have been speculating about what the third jersey could look like, throwing out ideas ranging from an all-black uniform to a new yellow jersey – similar to the old Color Rush set.

One fan on Reddit is hoping that the third jersey will be “Sol,” and that it’ll be unique with different sleeves and numbers. Johnny Hekker is surprisingly active on Reddit, often interacting with fans under the username “Whatthehekk,” and he replied to this idea with one word: “Doubtful.”

Being a member of the team, Hekker would seem to know what the Rams might be planning with their first of two alternate uniforms. It would make sense for them to come out with a yellow jersey to go with the blue and bone tops, but Hekker doesn’t seem to think that’s going to happen.

It would be cool to see the Rams reveal a white and blue throwback to the ‘70s, paying homage to the Fearsome Foursome. That would make a lot of sense as an alternate uniform and would be different enough from the current blue and bone combinations.

While there is no timeline for the Rams to release their third uniform combination, they unveiled the redesign in May last year. Perhaps they could use a similar timeline this year when they reveal their first alternate combination.

Or, if they want to have fans involved at SoFi Stadium, which was the plan last year, they could wait until later this summer if COVID-19 restrictions ease up.
