Notes: The color of the lemon wood duck feathers compliment the gold body and Coq de Leon wing perfectly while the dark blue hackle provides an interesting contrast. The Rams franchise began in 1936, but didn't settle in St. Louis until 1995, capturing a Superbowl title just a few years later in 1999. The teams official colors are Millenium Blue and New Century Gold. When the streamer hits the water, it is a flawless mimic for a shiner.
