Paul here, pinch-hitting for Phil, who has the weekend off. The Rams wore their throwbacks yesterday against the 49ers. It marked the third different horn color they’ve worn in three weeks — gold against the Falcons on Dec. 11, white against the Seahawks on Dec. 15, and now yellow against the Niners.
I’m sure there was lots of other uni-notable action yesterday, but I was out and about doing holiday stuff and didn’t have time to pay attention to football — sorry. The comments are open, so feel free to discuss stuff among yourselves.

Congrats to all the winners. Merry Christmas to all uniwatchers and thanks to Paul and Phil and Mike for another great year on this site.
It’s a daily must read for the content and the comments too.
Just out of curiosity what’s the Rams record in their throwbacks? Is it just me or do they lose a lot in them
I think that the Rams just lose a lot period
Congratulations to all the raffle winners; enjoy your prizes. Merry “I’m still calling it” Christmas to all!
I have to say, it’s real nice to see the Rams playing in such a lovely, old fashioned stadium as the Coliseum. My apologies to the people of St. Louis.
Is it just me, or is that one of the best looking pictures of the entire NFL season? Two classic looks in a classic venue.
As nature intended.
I agree! That photo makes it look like the Rams never left. Also, it is not too often anymore to see on field photos where you can see trees in the background. Rather nostalgic to see things like trees, parked cars, roads, etc. and game action at the same time.
Except for the Hyundai ads over the peristyles.
Here is an odd note: The Cleveland Browns have now worn their new set of uniforms for 31 games (last season was the first year of the new threads). Their record in the new set is 4-27 (3-13 last season and off to a 1-14 start this year.) The interesting note: Yesterday marked their FIRST WIN in their PRIMARY HOME JERSEY (Previously won in WHITE twice and ORANGE once) since they got new uniforms. Leave it to the Browns to finally win a game in their BROWN jerseys almost two full seasons into wearing them. Merry F***in’ Christmas, Cleveland! Best wishes to everyone. Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah to all Uni Watchers.
And to those who don’t celebrate either, good tidings to you as well.
Here’s to 2017… I’m sure most of us look forward to turning the page on this year.
Peace.
Merry Christmas to all of you!
Well dang it Eric Sawyer. Got excited when I saw the same last name and the wallet but not to be I guess. Get a St Louis Cardinals one!
I’ve been participating for five or six years and have never won anything :'( but that’s OK… the wallet was awesome though!
Must be around the same length of time for me – also without a prize.
Maybe one of us will win next year; speaks to the popularity of this site – in any case, it’s better odds than the lottery.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all that to Paul and his associates, the regular contributors, and all who come to the site.
Absolutely think that this is the best look for the Rams, I thought the white horns looked awful when they went with that. I agree on the trees in the background, reminds me of the Orange bowl when the Dolphins used to play there!
Awesome! Thanks Paul.
