It should aim to remind us that our area’s football history is not limited to the bitterness caused by Stan Kroenke’s lust for Los Angeles.

The league has targeted the first quarter of 2019 for announcements on team names, colors, head coaches and general managers.

Opportunities for meaningful connections are endless.

Why not bring back the purple and gold and name the team the St. Louis Stallions? Over time, the NFL expansion team that never got out of the stable has taken on a beloved status. Plus, this would give a meaningful purpose to all of those jumped-the-gun T-shirts still floating around at area garage sales.

This tip is much more serious. Hire Bob Wallace as the team’s general manager. The former Rams’ executive and current sports lawyer has decades of NFL experience. He knows the details of contracts and team management as well as anyone. His commitment to St. Louis is unquestioned. There could not be a better option.

The Stallions’ coaching staff could have more stars than the roster. Nothing wrong with that.
