Rams uniform change after winning the Super Bowl

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.

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.

yeah, that was a stupid F'n move, their late 70's - 80's unis were money !
