The Los Angeles Rams’ new look is getting a big thumbs-down from one of their franchise’s biggest icons.
In an interview Wednesday on AM 570 in Los Angeles, Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson went scorched earth on the team’s new uniforms.
“I just don’t like the stripe around the sleeve is not big enough, it almost looks like a lightning bolt like the Chargers uniforms,” he said. “I don’t like the stripe down the pants, I wish it was bigger. And the horns, man it’s horrible. I mean, it’s terrible. I feel like they really took away from the Rams uniform.
“It looks like the Chargers logo, it looks like a banana,” Dickerson added. “It looks like two bananas is what it looks like … Like I told them, I said, ‘Man, look this is football. This ain’t nothing to do with surfing, this ain’t nothing to do with waves. This is football. This is a man’s sport.’ And to me, it just looks soft. It don’t look football. It don’t look hard.”
The Rams, for whom Dickerson played five seasons and set the all-time single-season rushing record with in 1984, unveiled the bright new uniforms earlier in the day on Wednesday. Take a look at them here:

The rebrand comes with the Rams now entering their fifth season back in Los Angeles and having recently parted ways with star running back Todd Gurley. Their previous star running back Dickerson is hardly enthused however, and his reaction was pretty similar to that of the Internet as a whole.
