Eric Dickerson absolutely hates the Rams new logo.
Dickerson, who played for the franchise from 1983 to 1987, spoke with Doug Gottlieb on FOX Sports Radio and explained why he was not a fan of the team’s new logo, which they finally revealed on Monday.
Doug Gottlieb: “What did you think of the team’s new logo?”
Eric Dickerson: “NO. Uh-uh, don’t like it… I said ‘why do you have to mess with something that is good??’ It’s like the Cowboys don’t change their logo, the Raiders don’t change their logo, and the Colts even when they moved from Baltimore didn’t change their logo! WHY? There is no answer to that. I just don’t like it, and I hope to God that they don’t change the logo on the helmet, because if they put it on the helmet then it’s going to be a DISASTER.”
Per the team’s press release:
“The LA mark was crafted with a focus on the horn intertwining with LA, ensuring that the Rams are forever tied to the city of Los Angeles. The gradient in the horn transitions from a white horn to a more vibrant ‘Sol’ horn as a way to pay homage to the evolution of the color of the horns that have historically adorned the Rams’ helmets.
“The mark was crafted to evoke a sense of upward and forward movement, amplified by the gradients. The letters are italicized, mirroring the connected, progressive nature of both LA and the Rams organization. The depth of the mark design creates a sophisticated look unique to the Rams within the ecosystem of the NFL.”
