    		Businessman Dan Reeves bought the Cleveland Rams in 1941 and decided to move them to Los Angeles for the 1946 season. In 1948 (some sources say 1950) halfback, Fred Gehrke hand-painted yellow horns on the team's blue leather helmets, making the Los Angeles Rams the first professional football team to sport an insignia on their helmets.
