In conjunction with the Los Angeles Rams, the Los Angeles Police Department announced on Wednesday that they would be renaming their youth football team coached by officers of the police force to the “North East Lincoln Rams”. The youth team, which is part of an outreach program run by the LAPD in the Ramona Gardens public housing development in Boyle Heights, was formerly known as the Tigers.
The name change officially took place during the Rams’ blowout win over the Denver Broncos on Christmas day, when players and coaches of the former-Tigers were invited onto the field at SoFi Stadium during a second-quarter intermission. The players and coaches were presented with new North East Lincoln Rams jerseys.
