NFL: Los Angeles Rams Plan Jersey Revolution - Want To Copy 'European Soccer Model'
Nov 25, 2020, by Chris
The Los Angeles Rams are planning to release new jerseys every year in the future, similar to the way top clubs already do in soccer. That would be a real NFL revolution - the National Football League currently just allows teams to change the design of their jerseys once every five years.
The Rams released their new uniforms this offseason in May 2020 - most fans were not impressed.
Currently Not Allowed: Los Angeles Rams Want To Release New Home Uniform Every Year
"Our goal is that we might want to release a new jersey every year, either we just distribute it or the NFL and Nike will change the rules," said Kevin Demoff, head of operations for the Rams, in the team's podcast.
He added: "It's a bit like European soccer, which also introduces a new jersey every year. Some people like it, some don't."
Until now, the league has only allowed teams to change the design of their jerseys once every five years.
However, the NFL teams are allowed to have two alternative jerseys. The "five-year rule" does not apply here, so Demoff's dream could become reality-
Via Twitter the Rams already indicated in May that they will release new jerseys in 2021 and 2022. The California team could be a role model for many other NFL franchises.
But until the time comes and the jerseys are actually allowed to be worn on the field, the Rams have to convince the NFL to change the rules.
What do you think of NFL only allowing teams to release a new home uniform every five years? Do you think this rule will be history soon? Comment below.

T90-Inspired Nike Barclays WSL 26-27 Ball Released
Nike and the Women's Super League have officially revealed the official match ball for the 26-27 Barclays WSL and WSL2 seasons. Built on Nike's Control ball model, the design draws heavy inspiration from Nike's iconic Total 90 era, bringing a retro-infused visual identity to top-tier English women's football.
The design features vibrant multi-coloured rings and graphic lines in red, pink, blue, and black against a white base. These accents are arranged to create a subtle strobe effect when spinning in flight, aiding visibility for players on the pitch. The Barclays WSL version features a gold Nike Swoosh inside the signature circular ring, while the WSL2 edition showcases a silver Swoosh paired with bright pink detailing.
Underneath the graphics, the ball utilizes Nike Control technology with debossed grooves and engineered paneling designed to deliver stable aerodynamics and consistent touch in all conditions. The new ball will be used across all 26-27 WSL, WSL2, and domestic cup matches.
