Los Angeles Rams legend Eric Dickerson, like many people across the internet, is not a fan of the franchise's new logos. The Rams unveiled their new logos via Twitter on Monday and immediately started receiving backlash from fans.
Dickerson also took to Twitter to tell fans that he is also disappointed with the logo change and that he would talk to the front office about new options. Dickerson also provided examples of two different logos and asked fans to vote on the design they liked best.
.@RamsNFL fans, I reviewed your comments regarding our new logos and share in your disappointment. I’ll be speaking with the Rams on our behalf. Please like if you prefer the logo on the left and retweet to vote for the logo on the right (Rams booster club).

The team's new logo, or at least something very similar, was leaked earlier in the month on Reddit and again, received instant backlash. Much of the dismay from media and fans comes from the fact that logo is without an actual ram and that the ram horns resemble a “C” which can be misconstrued as a Los Angeles Chargers logo.
As for Dickerson, the former Rams running back played for the Rams for four and a half seasons between 1983 and 1986. The big 6-foot-3, 220-pound running back burst onto the scene as a rookie recording 2,212 yards from scrimmage and 20 total touchdowns.
After a historic first year, Dickerson continued to dominate, surpassing 2,000 yards from scrimmage in two of the next three seasons.
Contract disputes forced the Rams to trade Dickerson to the Indianapolis Colts in the strike-shortened 1987 season. After an 11-year NFL career, Dickerson retired in 1993, making the Pro Football Hall of Fame six years later in 1999.
Dickerson currently works as an NFL analyst for Fox Sports' FS1.
