Which jerseys are the Rams wearing today in the Wild Card Round vs Vikings?

It's win or go home for the Los Angeles Rams. After a grueling season, that's not exactly something new for a team that started in a 1-4 hole by their Week 6 BYE. If you fear pressure, you had a miserable time following the Rams schedule. Each week, the team had to up their ante, as the Rams were not just in a fight to win a game, but in a desperate season-long effort to remain relevant to the 2025 NFL Playoffs.

At the end of the regular season, the Rams had crossed the finish line first in the NFC West Division. While you may or may not be impressed with the Rams final record, you can take comfort in some facts. The Rams emerged from the BYE with a 9-2 record to finish off the season before they sat everyone for Week 18. The Rams backups nearly defeated the Seattle Seahawks in the final game of the season, losing by a score of 30-25

That near victory was the Rams backups against the Seattle Seahawks (10-7) starters. The decision to bench starters afforded them a manufactured BYE week to close off the season. And that allowed key contributors to relax, rest, and heal up.

The Rams were not simply a team that beat up on bad teams. Quite the opposite in fact. The Rams played well against teams with winning records. The Rams lost to the Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) and the Detroit Lions (15-2) while defeating the Minnesota Vikings (14-3), Buffalo Bills (13-4), and Seattle Seahawks (10-7). This team knows what it takes to defeat elite competition.

Vikings invoke superstition to face the Rams

Because the Rams were only one of two NFL teams to beat the Minnesota Vikings (the Detroit Lions were the other team), the team has opted to go all-in on superstition and don their White on Purple uniform.

• Vikings Jersey: Modern White
• Vikings Pants: Purple
• Vikings Socks: Purple

The reason this invokes superstition is the fact that the Minnesota Vikings have not lost a game in this uniform combination in 2024.

So it seems that as some fans may scoff at the idea of any correlation between a game uniform and the outcome of the game, NFL teams continue to place their bets that a causal relationship does exist.

Rams uniform combination

Do clothes make a difference? We have covered the Rams uniform combination throughout the 2024 NFL season because, quite frankly, some Rams fans lobby hard for us to do so. In any scenario of future uncertainty, relics, talismans, and good luck charms have aided some people in finding the courage to face the unknown. So now, as the Rams face the uncertainty of the 2025 NFL Playoffs, why would the team not wish to invoke as many good luck options as possible?

The LA Rams are opting for the Royal Blue jersey and Sol Yellow pants uniform:

• Rams Jersey: Royal Blue
• Rams Pants: Sol Yellow
• Rams Socks: Royal Blue

And here is how that looks:

Why this combination? This is the same uniform combination worn when the LA Rams shocked the NFL by defeating the red-hot Buffalo Bills in Week 14. The Rams won that game by a score of 44-42.

Will it make a difference? Perhaps. Perhaps not. But with so much adversity facing the team, and with the Rams showing up as a serious home underdog due to such extenuating circumstances, perhaps this is the right time to call in any and all cosmic forces to align on the Rams sideline.

The Rams have faced and overcome these odds all season long. If the team can win the next four games, they will be the winners of Super Bowl LIX. They simply need to win one game at a time.

As always, thanks for reading.
