Meaning and history

Los Angeles Rams Logo history

The LA Rams are the team with an interesting history. Founded in Cleveland, Ohio, they soon moved to California, which became their true home. After playing for Los Angeles for several decades, the team then moved to St Louis, but only to come back to LA again. Besides several relocations, there is one more interesting fact about the Rams — it was the first team in the National Football League to start placing their emblem on the helmets. The first logo appeared on the leather helm in 1948 and has never left it again.

The Rams come back to LA in 2016. The logo with the animal’s head remains almost untouched, only the gold color is replaced by a darker, more brown shade. And, of course, the wordmark is changed from “St. Louis” to “Los Angeles”.

In 2017 the team goes more minimalist, by replacing the brown shade with a simple white. The blue and white combination makes the image cleaned and evokes a sense of professionalism and determination. The wordmark logo has also simplified its palette.

The “LA” mon-ogram with the curved tail of the letter “A” in yellow and white, resembling the iconic horn, is now the official logo of the famous rugby team. The blue, white, and yellow color palette is back and looks strong and bright, representing the team’s spirit and character.
