Actually, I'd like to go back to your Rams/Seahawks post once again. The Seahawks logo and color scheme is not based on a living animal. It is an artistic representation of the totem poles and carved figurines of the Northwestern Indians and their penchant for blue and green color schemes on their artifacts.
As for the (originally Cleveland) Rams, they were named after the collegiate Fordham Rams who's original colors were dark red and black, the same colors that were adopted for the professional NFL team in their inaugural year. After a season they changed to royal blue and gold. The Rams were actually the first team to have a logo on their (leather) helmets. In the 40's, I forget his name, a player painted gold horns on his helmet, hence the fad. He was the only player in the entire league to have anything on his helmet. Thus, the Rams are the first team to have a logo on their helmets.
As to why the Rams don't have a color realistic design, it is obvious - brown on tan, or tan on brown is ludicrous. It is not dynamic like the tiger's stripes.
