LA Rams new logo: Yay or Nay?

Put me down for.....

CONN CHRIS · 03-09-2020, 12:08 PM

It looks like the old USFL Breakers logos (from one of the 72 cities that they relocated to).

Not good

PocketsAintFull · 03-09-2020, 12:10 PM

Not that bad imo. More curious why it resembles a Charger logo

ukhotstove · 03-09-2020, 12:13 PM

Me not like, it's up there with the Chargers logo that I dont like in the NFL.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought Chargers when I saw it.

Westheim · 03-09-2020, 12:32 PM

Looks like stale arse.

Cobra Mgr · 03-09-2020, 01:09 PM

Evidently, many people see the Chargers in there as well.

Tiger Fan · 03-09-2020, 01:16 PM

I hate it but I am old and a fan of a more historical look. Does look like a bad remake of the Chargers lightning bolt.

pstrickert · 03-09-2020, 01:20 PM

Well, at least it doesn't look like a swastika.

Rizon · 03-09-2020, 01:30 PM

Lame. At least it doesn't have a Swastika, though.

Those deserved more than a thanks

PocketsAintFull · 03-09-2020, 01:41 PM

The style reminds me of the XFL

Apologies bit OT but am I the only one who thinks Cobra Mgr is the Phantom of the Opera of the sporting world, he lives in a man cave under ESPN headquarters watching every sports channel and logged into about 20 computers.

rudel.dietrich · 03-09-2020, 01:46 PM

I can tolerate bad logos but that one is so plain that what is the point?
The old logo with the actual Ram was pretty iconic back to the first time they were in LA

swoboda · 03-09-2020, 02:07 PM

I'm a no

Perhaps, but I value him highly as such!

Regarding the logo, some time ago we had a thread about great logos which had hidden themes. The arcs that begin as part of the "A" and swirl around behind the "L" - significance? Ram's head?

low · 03-09-2020, 03:25 PM

It's garbage.

Ragnar · 03-09-2020, 03:35 PM

Looks like a punk hair do, don't like it.

I think that's what they were going for. I think their aim was akin to a stormtrooper's laser fire.
