RAMS TO HONOR HALL OF FAME PLAYERS
In the first regular season game back home in Los Angeles in more than two decades, the Rams will honor their Hall of Fame players. The Hall of Fame’s Mission is to “Honor the Heroes of the Game, Preserve its History, Promote its Values & Celebrate Excellence Everywhere!”
 
ERIC DICKERSON, MARSHALL FAULK, TOM MACK, ORLANDO PACE, JACKIE SLATER and JACK YOUNGBLOOD will kick off a new Rams tradition and will help light the torch in the Peristyle end of the Coliseum following the coin toss.

Family members of Hall of Famers GEORGE ALLEN, DEACON JONES and MERLIN OLSEN also will be in attendance at the game.

During Halftime, Pro Football Hall of Fame President DAVID BAKER will present recently enshrined Pace with his Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence. Also, the Hall of Fame will present the new Ring of Excellence to Dickerson, Faulk, Mack, Slater and Youngblood.

There are three physical icons that represent an individual’s enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Each Hall of Famer receives their Hall of Fame Gold Jacket two nights before the Enshrinement in Canton each summer. The bronze bust is unveiled during the Enshrinement ceremony held inside Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium and then placed permanently on display inside the Hall of Fame.  The third symbol, the Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is presented to a Hall of Famer during a special presentation at his team’s stadium.
 
THROWBACK UNIFORMS TAKE THE FIELD FOR HOMECOMING GAME
To commemorate the first Rams regular season game in Los Angeles in more than two decades, the team will wear royal blue and yellow “throwback” uniforms of the ‘80s and ‘90s this Sunday.

Except for two games designated for these “throwback” uniforms, the Rams will wear white uniforms for home games at the Coliseum.  The white uniforms are a modern nod back to the team’s history in Los Angeles, when the Rams would wear white on white during the days of the Fearsome Foursome.
