Given that the stadium situation in Las Vegas isn't quite nailed down, I would have expected him to latch on to the sure thing. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

CubsFanBudMan Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 LA Gear, of all companies, made a trademark claim. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/the-chargers-l-a-patent-is-being-opposed-by-this-90s-shoe-manufacturer/ And the logos really aren't at all similar. Perhaps this is a case of letting the world know L.A. Gear still exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of unanswered questions about this move, but the logo was top notch. I don't think the LA/Bolt logo was a masterpiece but it definitely had potential. This logo would have been so much better if they had put an outline on it like the Reddit concept below (not mine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metro Boomin Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 The outlines at least make it look like a Chargers logo. My problem with the original is it didn't say Chargers to me. Sure it had a bolt but they've never used one that looked like that in their history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroywen Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 The NFL favoring a Chargers move to LA over a Raiders move to LA will go down as one of the bigger blunders in league history. The only team in the NFL that could move to LA and not play second fiddle to the Rams are the Raiders (well, of those that realistically could move... obviously I'm not counting teams that would never, ever move, like the Cowboys). The Raiders' move back to Oakland in 1995 was a terrible mistake to begin with - they moved into an aging stadium with a (hideously ugly) band-aid put over it, and didn't really have the fanbase necessary to sustain the team in Oakland. It seems odd to say about a team that has spent the majority of its existence in Oakland, but the Raiders would be much better suited to Los Angeles. They'd be more financially stable and successful there than in either Oakland or Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltjets21 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I dont know why LA is so ungrateful for getting the Chargers. They are more talented than the :censored:ty Rams and I could see them making the playoffs as they had many games decided in the final minutes. If you are younger than 26 years old you dont have much history with the Rams and family ties to the Rams had been severed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar Matt Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Because.. We. Do. Not. Want. Them. They are San Diego's team, not ours. We have been extremely vocal in our disapproval for the Chargers coming to LA, from the very beginning of this whole process. The Rams returning home was all we wanted. Their return was righting a wrong. We do not care how good or bad the Rams are, because ultimately, they are Los Angeles' football team. It'd be a bit different if the Chargers had beaten the Rams to LA (and they had over 16 years to move first), but they didn't. Couple that with the fact the Chargers biggest rival played in Los Angeles for 13+ years and it's clear why we Angelino's are so "ungrateful" to have the Chargers here. Having the Chargers leave San Diego for Los Angeles is just as wrong as having the Browns move to Baltimore and the Rams leaving LA in the first place. Team relocation is a messy business, but for the most part, the Rams being in LA feels right. Having the Chargers here does not.

The Rams were LA's team, or at least one of them, and they were unfairly taken away from them. The Chargers have spent over fifty years in San Diego. LA wanted the Rams because they wanted their team back. They don't want the Chargers because the Chargers are someone else's team.

I loved that this weekend during the Lakers v Clippers game at Staples Center that the Chargers logo and a couple of their players were resoundingly boo'ed when showed on the jumbotron. And even better was that Dean Spanos was there to see just how happy his new city is to have his football team. http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/los-angeles-fans-boo-chargers-logo-lakers-clippers-game-011417 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
