The Los Angeles Rams have seen many iterations throughout the franchise’s storied history that began in 1936. Originally billed as the Cleveland Rams, the franchise had a noteworthy run until making a move to Los Angeles in 1946. Chiefly, this made way for Paul Brown’s Cleveland Browns that took over the roost in Cleveland, Ohio.
The franchise played out of the Memorial Coliseum in Las Angeles until moving into a reconstructed Anaheim Stadium in 1980. The Rams made their first Super Bowl appearance at Super Bowl XIV where they fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-19. Following the 1994 season, The Rams made a move to St Louis, Missouri where they eventually clinched a championship ring.
The team won Super Bowl XXXIV in a dominant 23-16 win over the Tennessee Titans just five years after relocating. They soon followed up their Super Bowl appearance with a close–cut loss to the New England Patriots at Super Bowl XXXVI. After a successful stint in St Louis, the franchise expressed an intent to move back to Los Angeles back in 2016.
The request to move back to LA was approved and the Rams returned to their home city in time for the 2016 season. They would lose the Super Bowl rematch to the Patriots once more, losing 13-3 after their return. The Los Angeles Rams play out of the SoFi Stadium alongside the Los Angeles Chargers after being the first to represent three cities in the NFL.
The Rams have had several changes to their franchise motif over the years and it’s no surprise why. The feature has been a Ram of different styles with a heavy emphasis being placed on a pre-historic outline in the early days. Fans hold the 2000 iteration of the Rams logo design to be the very best alongside the eerily similar 2017 mark-up.
The present-day logo of the Los Angeles Rams ditched the namesake animal for a contemporary letter outline. The recent design has been met with some backlash as some felt it looked far too ‘corporate’ for a famed football franchise.
Enos Stanley Kroenke is a billionaire businessman with his interest across several sports franchises apart from the LA Rams. His ownership comes through Kroenke Sports and Entertainment which serves as the holding company.
Silent Stan has an interest in the English Premier League’s Arsenal FC as well as the NBA’s Denver Nuggets, to name a few. Additionally, Stan Kroenke has had majority ownership of ranches totaling 848,631 crores as well as the famed Screaming Eagle, a Napa Valley winery. He has an estimated Forbes 2020 net worth to be in the ballpark of US $10 billion.
Samsung Electronics announced that Samsung QLED TV would be the official Television of the Los Angeles Rams. It is placed as the new in-house studio to enhance fan content and will be incorporated in the Rams’ training facility. Additionally, Postmates has partnered up with the LA-based outfit as their official mobile ordering platform.
The Rams alongside the Baltimore Ravens became the first to name Postmates as their on-demand delivery partner. PepsiCo also took their branding to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. SoFi has served greatly in attracting top-tier brands and the soft drink and snacks outfit is no exception.

The Rams franchise has done plenty for the three cities that they have been hosted by over the years, far beyond the scope of a summary guide. However, their accomplishments since moving back to LA has been astounding in itself. The Youth and High schools have greatly benefitted with several ventures undertaken including a 2017 program ‘Cleats for Character’. What’s more, the Rams also played host to 16 free football clinics for Youth.
Each month, the Rams front office has their staff lend their hand towards volunteering at local non-profits. They have clocked in over 6,500 hours since moving back to Los Angeles. Moreover, there is engagement in an Annual Community Improvement Project that assists schools in need. The LA outfit has built a playground and erected a mural in Inglewood, Watts, and South Central.
