For the first time, the Los Angeles Rams have partnered with a Black-owned luxury brand on merchandise.

The capsule collection, created by Gallery Dept. founder Josue Thomas, includes a reconstructed anorak made from old NFL Rams jerseys obtained from Mitchell & Ness, a heather grey T-shirt from the 1990s, a sun-faded black tee, and a Rams x GD colour block tee.

"This collaboration to me is a combination of nostalgia meets contemporary. It’s an homage to true Rams fans who’ve evolved with the team. I wanted to create pieces that would feel as if you’d found your holy grail of fan merch thrifting. I’ve mixed vintage and current iconography to create this modern classic collection,” the designer told Ebony.

Prices range and go up to $2,800 for limited edition items. They bought at ramsfanshop.com and gallerydept.com.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Gallery Dept. on this groundbreaking collaboration,” Kathryn Kai-ling Frederick, chief marketing officer with the Los Angeles Rams, said in a statement. “We have been inspired by our players who wear Gallery Dept., and we wanted to give our fans a special way to showcase their style while representing their team.”
