Lucas718 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Without reading 120+ pages, I'm sure lots of folks agree with what I'm about to say. The new helmet looks really out of place. They should have stuck with the gold horns until they could do a full uniform refresh. The entire uniform is a mismatched mess now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Jim Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 They really should have gone with navy masks. The horns get lost in all that white. I thought it when the decision was made and feel more strongly about it now that I've seen them in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to wonder how a gold face mask and a blue and gold logo on the pants would tie the pieces together? "Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong."

Luigi74 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 They should have put a thin gold outline on the horns and pant stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 On 8/10/2017 at 11:27 PM, Gothamite said: Actually, MLS clubs don't share with NFL teams because they need to control their own venues and not be a mere tenant at the mercy of another team. MLS has no problem sharing when there is cross-ownership, as we see in Seattle, Atlanta, and New England. That's the real issue. Earlier on Good Morning Football, they talked about how football in general not just NFL might move towards more close up, intimate, and smaller stadiums. I don't know where they got this idea from considering the two newest stadium that were just built (US Bank, Mercedes-Benz Stadium), the one being built for the Rams and Chargers, and the proposed stadium in Las Vegas aren't exactly small scale stadiums. I like the idea of the smaller stadiums, but it's just not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 The league is just floating that story in the hopes that it will make the Chargers look less pathetic while they're playing in a tiny half-empty soccer stadium. Instead of admitting the reality that LA doesn't want the Chargers and the Spanos family are a complete joke, they're trying to rebrand it to make the Chargers look like misunderstood trendsetters. It's not going to work, but I can't blame them for trying. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 That might not be a bad idea, though. The NFL's model has moved away from game attendance as the primary revenue stream. Which is why they're allowing teams to stay on television even if they can't sell out the stadium. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

It's not going to work, but I can't blame them for trying. The Chargers at StubHub is a experiment that will work. The Chargers surely can fit more than 27k in any stadium regardless if they're in LA or in San Diego. But since pro football being back in LA is still in a fragile, experimental phase, being in the smallest stadium in the league might be more beneficial for the Chargers instead of them being someplace like the Coliseum or Rose Bowl. 27k in StubHub is a beautiful thing. 27k in the LA Coliseum is essentially playing in an empty arena. Plus, it's a nice stadium regardless. Certainly the nicest stadium the Chargers have ever played in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that only bumped it to 27,000. The Galaxy have apparently been lying about their capacity for years and it was never actually 27,000 seats. But they were obligated to report it as 27,000 for some reason I'm not aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, is preseason football a big draw? I honestly don't know. If most teams can fill up their stadium, then I guess that is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 It's not a great draw, but it's not 21,000 bad either, unless you're the Houston Oilers and you've announced you're moving to Memphis. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
