LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams have unveiled two alternate uniforms designed to connect the current team to its rich California history. At an event for season-ticket holders next to SoFi Stadium on Thursday night, the Rams revealed a new uniform that pays tribute to their 1951 NFL championship team with a yellow jersey and blue satin numerals in the style used 75 years ago. The Rams then introduced a white alternate uniform with blue numerals emulating the Rams’ primary look during the 1960s, an era best known for the team’s Fearsome Foursome defensive front.

The Rams spent 49 years in Southern California before former owner Georgia Frontiere moved them to her native St. New owner Stan Kroenke brought the Rams back home in 2016, and he opened their multibillion-dollar stadium complex in Inglewood in 2020. The Rams were founded in Cleveland in 1937, but moved out west in 1946 to become Los Angeles’ most significant major professional sports team to that point.
They subsequently won the city’s first major pro sports championship in 1951, beating the Cleveland Browns in the NFL title game at th…
