- Team colours: Millennium blue, New Century gold and white
- Head coach: Sean McVay

Three cities have played host to the Rams since 1936: Cleveland, Los Angeles and St Louis. What's more, they have won championships in each of those cities, which is a feat that no other franchise in the league has matched, as of 2016.
Starting life in Ohio, they won their first NFL Championship in 1945 and immediately relocated to California for the start of the new season. By 1951, they had reached the championship game three more times and came up against the team that filled the gap they left in Cleveland - the Browns - in two of them, losing one and winning the other.
The 1951 championship victory was to be the last of their first stint in Los Angeles. After a series of NFC Championship losses, plus one Super Bowl defeat, the Rams packed up and moved from California to St Louis in the mid-west ahead of the 1995 season.
Five years later, they won their first-ever post-merger championship with a 23-16 win over Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV.
It was the era of quarterback, Kurt Warner, and running back, Marshall Vaulk, that raised the heart-rates of Rams fans in St Louis. They won NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP awards between them and led the team to another big-game appearance in 2001.
A loss to Pittsburgh Steelers remains their last Super Bowl appearance and their last in Missouri.
At the end of the 2015 season, it was time for the Rams to return to Los Angeles after the city had been without a franchise for two decades.
Since the Chargers moved north from San Diego ahead of the 2017 season, football fans have two franchises on their LA doorsteps.
The No 1 pick in 2016, quarterback Jared Goff, is the focal point of a rebuild for a Rams team that has struggled with finding quality receivers for years on end.
Head coach, Sean McVay, was hired on the back of a disappointing first season back in LA (4-12), so it is a period of serious planning for a new-look Rams team in California.
