DCarp1231 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I really like that Chargers logo and it should be used as a chest patch in a redesign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually looks more washed out, like this.

IceCap Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 6 hours ago, Dolphins Dynasty said: I never understood that logo. Are they trying to depict the Chargers as a lightning bolt or a mustang? You can't have it both ways (looking at you, Rays). As @BlueSky said, a knight's horse was called a "charger." The rarely-used update of the horse logo from the 90s made the knight connection clearer... Edit- this program from their previous season in LA, 1960, also plays up the knight theme...

C-Squared Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 They don't have their own city, they don't have their own stadium - may as well get started on the brand. As a tertiary logo, its fine, I guess... fleeting 60-year-old nostalgia aside, nobody has a problem with another (similarly-rendered) horsehead logo in the West? Tack on an eyepatch and change the crest to an arrowhead and they'll be sufficiently subservient across the board.

The program cover looks like it was designed for a game against the Oilers. Take a close look at the crest on the opponent's tent.

The feel you get entering and walking around does not match with the price tag. AT&T Stadium is great, though the retractable roof is overkill. A great stadium, to me, has been Lucas Oil Stadium. Which is a slightly smaller AT&T Stadium in seating bowl, more rugged and industrial feel to the concourses and roof structure, and doesn't feel as spaced apart. Though the giant videoboard is missing. My biggest complaint about Metlife was how lifeless it always felt - everything is neutral gray (by necessity with the Giants and Jets sharing) - you also feel so far from the action / fans. Giants Stadium had a much more packed in "wall of sound" feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the old farmers Wikipedia the chargers hosted the oilers on 11/13 and the titans on 12/18 I originally typed that the cover must be recycled, then I looked at the date again. According to the Chargers website, the Titans game was their first preseason game. http://www.chargers.com/team/history/chronology/1959-1969 Most Liked Content of the Day -- February 15, 2017, August 21, 2017, August 22, 2017 ///// Proud Winner of the CCSLC Post of the Day Award -- April 8, 2008 Originator of the Upside Down Sarcasm Smilie -- November 1, 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
