Fun time w/ @Skyeattolah today for a season ticket holder Breakfast w/ Kevin Demoff. Great guy. A few tidbits, which Kevin said weren’t secret (Skye, correct me if I get anything wrong)....
Uniforms ( @MylesASimmons , shut your ears): THREE throwback games and THREE Color Rush games. Kevin said we can kiss the Navy jerseys goodbye. They’re petitioning league, again, for all home games in throwbacks....
They tried this last year but were denied. Now, the league understands the embarrassment of the Navies. New unis: likely 2020, but maybe ‘19. Coliseum has a lot of USC branding, so that’s argument for ‘20 in new stadium....
New unis: Rams told Nike don’t touch horn design on helmets, but give us a uni range, from super new to classic. Fan input will be considered through focus groups, not a vote like face masks/pant stripe. Colors....
New uni colors will be blue, yellow & white. No gold. Throwbacks likely blue & white. Alternates: some version of yellow Color Rush....
Aaron Donald: some of holdout reasons last year included money, frustration with ‘16 season, uncertainty of new coach. But now, coming off ‘17, it’s just money. KD says they’re close, although there’s no hard deadline they’re working against.
Important to remember they’re not negotiating in a vacuum, lots of other players to consider. Said he didn’t think Khalil Mack’s contract would mean much re: Donald. Kevin laughed @ criticism that Rams are too young. “Nice problem.”
General Admission SSLs for Inglewood should be offered in Aug/Sept. They’re finishing last batch of season ticket holders now for Executive, then give newbies a chance @ few remaining Exec suites....
GA SSLs will start as low as $500-1,000, then season ticket price will be comparable to Coliseum. Said they’ll have a nice range of prices.
We met in a nice boardroom w/ big screens playing Rams highlights. Kevin said Int’l Olympic Committee met w/ Rams in this room & were so impressed w/ Inglewood & meeting site they cancelled their other appts for that day to hang out.
