After all, they started out as The L.A. Chargers, so what would be the reason to even suggest a name change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnPheitseog Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 if the chargers move, kill the identity and franchise and start up an expansion team with the same players in LA.let SD keep the history Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 What ? No. Besides, expansion is a pipe dream. If San Diego wants to keep the history, they better work on keeping the team.

The_Admiral Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 They have been, but NFL-Confirmed Good Guy Dean Spanos is too proud to put a stadium built with other people's money where the other people want to put it.

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The Chargers have 50 years of history but it has nothing to do with LA.Except for, you know, starting the franchise as the Los Angeles Chargers.

Lee Noire Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I'm not sure I understand that tweet. The Seahawks and Cardinals didn't rebrand, but simply made modern updates to existing logos and uniforms. I've always understood a rebrand as changing nicknames, logos, and everything in between. An update is the more appropriate term for what those teams did isn't it?As far as what that means for the team(s) that move to LA? I think the Rams are the most in need of an update, and that's mostly in the uniform and color department. The nickname and ram head logo are fine as is.

Chawls Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Howabout Rams keep the gold, but switch the navy for royal? Off the top of my head I can't think of any royal and vegas gold teams in the major sports leagues. They'd need to bring back the gold pants though. I suggested this earlier. I like the idea.

Gothamite Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Vegas gold is too weak a color. It can look fine in some applications, in others it is reduced to khaki. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambulance Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 And the Rams have a pretty legitimate claim for the usage of yellow/athletic gold. It's a very long part of their history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSmith48 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Chargers: Get rid of powder blue, maybe bring back the yellow pants.Raiders: Keep everything the same except on the road uniform. On that one, they need to bring back silver numbers.Rams. Royal and athletic gold, with a yellow road or alt.

BBTV Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Purple and gold? Kinda Lakersish but with Vegas gold instead.

andycumbee19 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Is that..... two different pants styles? One in matte, and one shiny? And you'd want THAT for an NFL franchise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTnSocal Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 .To me the Rams are the most natural fit to move to Los Angeles, and they're the most prepared as they can play at the Coliseum again while they break ground on the new stadium on the Hollywood Park land that Kroenke owns and is ready for the first shovel to break out.Their royal blue with yellow pants probably make the most sense, but It would be really cool if they went back to their traditional look from the years of the 1970 merger with the blue and white.More than anything I want them to tweak the helmet logo back to the Roman Gabriel years where the ram horns were very angular at the very front of the helmet. I miss the old LA Rams vs SF 49ers rivalry I used to watch growing up at 4 pm Eastern Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Is that..... two different pants styles? One in matte, and one shiny? And you'd want THAT for an NFL franchise?Looks like it. It's a D2 college team so that's what you get. I think matte gold (khaki) is stupid though so I'd hope they go shiny.

Gothamite Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Oh, yes. A much stronger gold.If the Rams are to change their decals, I'd like to see them reclaim the knobby horns from the 1940s. I think these look worlds better than the ones they have now, which don't even fit on the helmet. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

bosrs1 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 None of the names will change. You don't throw away 50+ years of history (or more) on a whim.Besides, if the Chargers move, the conceit will be "their old fans can just drive up I-5 to see them."The Raiders, for their part, have a near-perfect brand. Would be stupid to mess with that.The only rebrand that would make sense is new uniforms for the Rams. But hopefully that bears no resemblance to the rebrands of the Cardinals or Seahawks; all the Rams need is a return to their classic royal and gold, with minor tweaks for modern templates and materials.LOL... Yeah no. Majority of their SD based fans will not be following the Carson or Inglewood Chargers.Hell the fact they'll have already lost their existing fan base by moving might be an argument in favor of a complete rebrand if they move to Carson or Inglewood.

Gothamite Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I didn't mean to suggest it was a good argument, but that's already the narrative. The owners are saying it already. So no, I don't think the Chargers would be looking for a fresh start in the event of a move. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
