The Chargers released their new uniforms last month and received mostly rave reviews. On Wednesday, the Rams unveiled their new threads for the upcoming season, and their opinions were a mixed bag.
Among the crop that wasn’t a fan of the team’s new look was Rams legendary running back Eric Dickerson. Dickerson, who serves as the team’s vice president of business development, didn’t hold back what he thought about them.

“I’ll say this, the colors are not bad,” Dickerson said during an appearance on AM570 Sports, per CBS Sport’s Bryan DeArdo. “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 comparing the Rams’ new uniforms to the Chargers’ is a first. I personally don’t see the similarities. Also, I believe the uniforms are not as good of a look as the logo is, but that’s still not saying much.
The bash to the Rams’ new look didn’t stop there.
“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.”
What do you think, Chargers fans? Do you think that Rams’ new look is a bootleg version of the Bolts’?
