Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson is trying SO hard, Los Angeles Rams fans.
In April, when he ripped the franchise’s new logo, Dickerson tweeted he would speak with the front office and present them with better fan-designed looks. His effort ultimately failed, but hey, he tried. The effort is really commendable.
Now, after the team dropped their new uniforms — which fans compared to Best Buy threads — on Wednesday, he spoke out about how much he dislikes them, and yeah, he had some harsh words.
While appearing on AM 570 in Los Angeles (and as transcribed by USA TODAY Sports), he had this to say:
“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 like football. It don’t look hard.” …
“I just don’t like the stripe around the sleeve. It’s not big enough,” Dickerson said. “It almost looks like a lightning bolt, like the Chargers’ uniform. I don’t like the stripe down the pants. I wish it was bigger.”
And don’t even get him started on the helmet, which he is “very, very disappointed in.” Dickerson argued that the horn on the helmet resembles that of a goat more than a ram.
“And the horn, man, it’s horrible,” he said. “I just feel like they really took away from the Rams’ uniform. And it looks almost like the Chargers’ logo. It looks like two bananas is what it looks like.”
Oof. At least he said the colors “are not bad.”
