They should go back to the 1973-99 look. Don't like the blue and white.

I like the Blue and White, but prefer the Blue and White they wore in the 60's and early 70's to these new shades. I liked the Blue and Gold also, but couldn't stand the post-1999 metallic color scheme they went to.

Problem is they are going to go with either blue or white facemask.

Seems like gray would be ideal.

The white is close to gray, I guess. What is the last team that had gray facemasks?

From the "artist's rendering", seems like they will be sticking with a glossier paint instead of the matte look more teams are using.

Well, the Cardinals, Giants, and Colts are three teams who currently wear gray facemasks.

Raiders and Cowboys too.

the thing about white masks is they don't look like the NFL, if you ask me, that's why teams went away from them, Vikings, Colts, Patriots, Bills, Jets, Broncos, Giants, Browns, Falcons all dumped them

They're going to look mismatch like they did this past season with the 'throwback' blue/white helmet but current away (with gold) jerseys. The only difference - besides the facemask color going from grey to white - is this year it isn't just the 'color rush' uniform and they can change the pants but still aren't changing the jersey so the jersey will still have gold. So helmet and pants blue/white (white pants), jersey blue/gold. Will look as dumb as it did against the Seahawks last season.

Yeah, it is ridiculous. They should just continue to wear the gold horn helmets until 2019. This half-assed crap is going to look really dopey. Why the NFL has such a bug up its butt about jerseys is beyond me. Just let the Rams remove the gold from the jerseys and let the world move on. What's the harm for two years until the true "rebrand" of 2019?
