That's a remarkable coincidence.

A bit off topic, but I hope the Rams go back to their 1973-2000 era blue and yellow unis. To me, those symbolized the Los Angeles Rams.

Probably depends on how old one is---the blue and white colors, I grew up watching, are the ones I associate most with the Rams and the most pleasing to my eye.

Very true point. Obviously my point of reference is the 70s - those heartbreak Rams teams that could never seem to get over the playoff hump, sans 1979.

At the time, I read they were supposedly intended to look something like their early 50's uniforms.

A mildly amusing and overlooked tie to the NFL's L.A. past:

The NFL's original L.A. franchise, the Brick Muller-led Buccaneers in 1926, held their preseason practices at a location (Palisades del Rey) that eventually became LAX. The new stadium in Inglewood will be only a few miles away from that spot.

Ha-ha-ha. Not quite sure why the Rams want to build a stadium on a fault line, that leaks Helium-3, but greed wins!

Whilst LA has the second largest TV market, you do actually want people to attend the games and not just watch on TV, otherwise there will be a local blackout. Can the Rams fill the 93,000+ seat LA Coliseum, or even their proposed 70,000+ seater?

"Plus, the intricate L.A. highway system will cut team travel time by almost 25 percent,"

HA! HA! HA! HA!
