  Hi Slip, I'm a tragic 49ers fan too but they didn't get off to the best of starts last week with a big loss to the Seahawks and things don't get much better with the Saints tonight. But it's early days yet (I just had a terrible sense of de-ja-vu)

  I'm actually getting into the NFL a bit now but alas haven't got a team to support yet. Are there any Blue and Gold teams?

  Hahaha Normo, you'll be stuck with the St Louis Rams like me. Let's see, won 1 of 16 last year, two of 16 the year before and 3 of 16 before that. More than a passing resemblance to Parra LOL

  I've been doing some research before you posted this and they wear blue and gold as their "alternate" strip. Maybe they need to take on those colours full time. Besides hasn't that franchise moved around a bit? Not ruling them out, I like an underdog.

    If you read the Wikipedia blurb you'll get dizzy regarding the changes in uniform over the years. Suffice to say they keep to wearing the navy blue and gold strip at home and the 'lighter' white with navy blue and gold at away games. Seems it was/is an NFL rule.
    
    Started 1936 in Cleveland, moved to LA in 1946 then St Louis in 1995. Privately owned teams (as they all are) move around depending on where they'll get the best deal (stadiums etc) and support.
    
    If you like underdogs then you'll be hard pressed to find any lower LOL

      My only apprehension is that they would up and move (which is fine) but also change colours on me. Have they always kept the same colours? If so I'm sold.

        They've had virtually the same colours for all but 10 years of their existence. I doubt they'd make a complete change but if an owner pays $800mill for the franchise, I guess he could kit them out in pink with lime green polka dots if it took his fancy.
