The Rams have history on their side, with all those years and memories as the LA Rams. So to help with identity, I wouldn't use Los Angeles, instead, go with Southern California. And it's the perfect time to bring back the "Sun" nickname as well. Use a similar logo, and instead of magenta and orange as the color scheme, go with red, orange, yellow, and silver. The Southern California Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that neither are the case in this instance. This one looks professional to me.

Proc Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 They should do what the baseball Angels did (and later reverted back to LA though) and call themselves the "California Chargers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hmm... I'd say the odds are probably fairly high that San Diego gets another franchise in the future if the stadium situation finally settles. But the Chargers were there for nearly 60 years. Very surprised that they took the name with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very surprised that they took the name with them. I think the Hornets and Titans situations tell us that we don't know whether they'll ultimately keep the name or not. It would probably be hard to come up with a whole new identity for 2017 at this point. So even if they know they'll have one in, say 2018 or 2019, they kinda have to promote the Bolt right now. I don't know what they are going to do and I don't think they know what the are going to do either. The main thing I started to take from your post before reading the last sentence that, ugh, they've been there for almost 60 years and the idea that they could get a new team in a few years almost makes it more infuriating; if the public's going to waste money on a stadium, I wish they'd do it in time to save the current team rather than get the jags or an expansion team. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Very surprised that they took the name with them. What makes you say that? There currently isn't a need for expansion and all the rest of the current teams won't be looking to move another team to SoCal, and with how SD already refused to build new stadiums in the past it doesn't look like they will in the future, especially with no one coming at them proposing ideas. San Diego just doesn't seem like a city that puts that into a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The Chargers should not only not change their name, but they should lean heavily on the "return to L.A." angle. They should have an ad campaign in which they juxtapose side-by-side pictures from the L.A. days in the AFL and current shots. And something like this should be the main image: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Looking at the logo again I think my only big problem with it isn't the color scheme or the interlocking letters or the lightning bolt its that the more I see it the less I actually see an L and an A. I keep seeing a 4 or a 41 or a U or like a tuning fork or a spur. There needs to be more differentiation between the L and the A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Funny how much whining there is about an interlocking LA being a ripoff.
