LA Rams’ new logo apparently was leaked and NFL fans ridiculed the look

The Rams are planning to release a new logo ahead of the 2020 season, but it seems the cat is out of the bag.

And, man, is that an ugly cat.

The Rams are preparing to move into a new home, SoFi Stadium, so that would explain why the team is changing its look.

On Saturday, the Rams shared this as a teaser to their change:

Also on Saturday, an NFL fan shared a photo of a cap with what appears to be the new Rams logo.

Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports later confirmed that is the logo the team will be using, at least for this hat:

So this #Rams new logo hat that leaked on Reddit is legitimate. That’s the new logo. Thoughts? pic.twitter.com/mTZMeseS2f

The response was not pretty but it was often funny:

The new Rams logo looks like it’s from a tv show about pro football and they didn’t have rights from the NFL pic.twitter.com/NXL6uf0Y6X

Chargers and Rams using the same stadium and logo makes it pretty easy

So I missed the entire merger. The Los Angeles RamChargers.

it took me 10 minutes to realize this is the Rams and not the Chargers. I'm so used to the Chargers messing up, and it also looks...like the Chargers.

I thought it was a Chargers hat. What an awful design.

It's the Jared Goff of hats

When’d they join the XFL???

Stupidest logo ever. What did they do? Get the teenager in the mail room to design it? And he couldn't decide if he's a Rams or Chargers fan. Whoever signed off on this one should be fired immediately.
