1999


2000


Why would they do this. It was the best season in team history, why change a thing? Has this ever happen in pro sports history?

Kind of the reverse of what the Broncos did after the 96 season. Went through a huge uni overhaul and immediately won their first two Super Bowls.

Can't think of a team changing right after winning it all like the Rams though

That's not the 2000 Rams uniform. The 2000-2001 jersey had a vertical gold stripe under the arms.

Why, Frontierre wanted flashier look and wanted to get rid of LA ties. It was approved by NFL soon as the Puma deal was signed.

Puma for one year had rights to NFL apparel.

Yes. 96 was a great regular season and Denver lost home field to a fricken Jaguars in the second or third year. Uniform change, 2 Super Bowls. Still a coincidence.

It's too bad, because they got really ugly. The old uni was perfectly fine.

Maybe because I was 11 at the time, but I fricking loved the new unis

But like Vlad said, it was just a coincidence. Orange Crush still would have prevailed over Brett Favre and the Falcons.

Actually they weren't. A few years after the move to SL, the Rams were selling less merch than any other team. A change in color/unis was decided a year or so before the SB win.
