Hawaii artist teams up with LA Rams for Maui Training Camp
When the Los Angeles Rams open their 2025 training camp on Maui later this month, the NFL franchise will showcase a fresh island-inspired identity, thanks to the creative vision of Hawai'i-born artist Aaron Kai. A graduate of Kamehameha Schools Hawai'i and a native of Hilo, Kai has been commissioned by the Rams to create exclusive artwork for the team's upcoming camp at War Memorial Stadium, which begins June 16. Now a Los Angeles resident, Kai described the collaboration as a full-circle moment, blending his Island upbringing with his current home on the mainland. 'It means a lot, man. Having the LA Rams reach out to me, especially living out here in Los Angeles now and being a local boy from Hilo. It's kind of nice to make that connection and bring the art together,' Kai said. 'I think it's great that they're tapped in with native Hawaiian artists to bring authenticity to it.' Kai's original artwork celebrates Maui's rich culture and landscape while also providing the Rams with limited-edition merchandise and on-site branding that will be featured throughout training camp. His custom logo design will even be painted directly on the team's practice field, a moment he called a 'pinch-me' experience. 'We're actually lucky enough to be painting this logo that I designed for the Rams, a little Hawai'i twist on it,' Kai said. 'Being able to do what I love, representing Hawai'i, and doing it on a scale like this for a team like the LA Rams, it's really incredible.' For Kai, the project is about more than branding. It's about inspiring youth and spotlighting creative pathways beyond the playing field. 'I hope the kids in Maui get inspired,' he said. 'Not everyone gets to make it to the league professionally. There are a lot of other great avenues where you can stay in the game and use your creativity.' Fans will have the chance to meet Kai and purchase his exclusive Rams merchandise at a special pop-up shop in Wailea Village from June 14 through June 18. The shop will be open daily from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. leading up to the start of training camp. For more information on the upcoming Rams Training Camp on Maui, click here.

LA Rams schedule and opponents before, after facing the Arizona Cardinals
LA Rams schedule and opponents before, after facing the Arizona Cardinals Taking a look at the teams the Rams play before and after they face the Cardinals in 2025. The NFL released its full 2025 regular-season schedule. We know the Arizona Cardinals' schedule. What we don't readily know are their opponents' schedules. In particular, it is good to know the teams their opponents play before and after their game against the Cardinals. Since the Cardinals play two games each against their NFC West opponents, let's have a look at their schedules and the teams they play the week prior and the week after. Here is the schedule for the Los Angeles Rams. LA Rams 2025 schedule Cardinals-Rams games The Cardinals' first game against the Rams comes in Week 14 at State Farm Stadium. The Rams will be coming off a normal Sunday game on the road against the Carolina Panthers in Week 13. They will have a big home game against the Detroit Lions the following week. The Cardinals will be coming off a road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then will travel to Texas to play the Houston Texans the following week after the Rams. Then the Cardinals and Rams face each other in the regular-season finale in Week 18. The Rams will have been on the road in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night, so they will have less rest than the Cardinals have facing the Cincinnati Bengals on the road on either Saturday or Sunday. If the Cardinals end up playing the Bengals on Saturday, they will have two days more rest than the Rams do.

Watch Josaiah Stewart get emotional being picked by LA Rams in 2025 NFL draft
Watch Josaiah Stewart get emotional being picked by LA Rams in 2025 NFL draft One of the best parts of the NFL draft every year is watching college football players learning that their dreams have just come true. But more often than not, we see only the top of the first round, not as much the reactions of those who came in the later rounds. Michigan football edge rusher Josaiah Stewart was picked with the No. 90 overall pick by the Los Angeles Rams on Friday night. And after being selected in the third round, Stewart got incredibly emotional. And the Rams posted both sides of the exchange. Pretty incredible and powerful stuff. Stewart was the fifth Wolverine of eight (thus far) off the board, with Mason Graham, Colston Loveland, and Kenneth Grant going in the first round, Will Johnson in the second, and Kalel Mullings and Myles Hinton in the sixth. A transfer from Coastal Carolina, Stewart played for Michigan football for two seasons, and managed 8.5 sacks in his senior season.
