The Rams are the only one of the three in desperate need of a new look. And if those teams weren't wearing gold pants, then gold alternate jerseys would be very much on the table for either. The Packers have been selling one for about twenty years. Of the three, the Rams are the only team that might be able to consider the yellow/athletic gold era to be their glory years. They wore yellow at least part of the time from 1946-50 (including the weird red season of 1949) and exclusively from 1951-57. During that period, they played in four NFL championship games (1949, 1950, 1951 and 1955) and won the championship in 1951. They also only finished under .500 once (1956). Besides that, the yellow jerseys just look really nice.

The Packers and Steelers also have much more franchise success/glory/historical iconography tied to their uniforms, and aren't moving back after 20 years and trying to make a fresh start in the community/market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluefalcon Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Why don't the Chargers add light blue pants to wear with their white jerseys this year? They don't need the NFL's approval to add new pants, only jerseys and helmets are subject to the 5-year rule. Remember the gold pants the Ravens suddenly wore back in 2015?

Remember the gold pants the Ravens suddenly wore back in 2015? . . . and the purple pants they suddenly wore last year. The problem with light blue pants with the current white jersey is that the numbers and trim on the jersey are predominantly navy blue, so it would probably look unbalanced.

I don't think it would look terrible. But it would be unbalanced more so. Besides the Chargers look better doing white on white when playing away. When they move into the shared Rams stadium, I can see the Chargers going with light blue pants if they do a new uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 White helmet, white jersey, blue pants, and then what? blue socks? white socks? Either way, it would look kind of silly. It worked for the Oilers, but I don't think it would work for the Chargers. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big time. The Chargers somewhat shoehorned the powder blue into their 2007-2018 look. So I agree with this assessment in that, for the Chargers, the powder blue would be a tertiary color on their away jerseys. That's why the away look is going to look weird with their current away jerseys: They need to update those away jerseys. I'm not sure they're allowed to (though I suppose they could since they haven't made any changes since 2007, right?) Powder blue the navy elements, and this is actually not an awful look. but as it stands now, blue pants or white, the away look is weird. (This post means nothing if indeed they have changed the away jersey to have powder elements and I missed that somewhere. Please disregard if that's the case. Haha.)

Ted Cunningham Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 OR! Is it supposed to look like this with all-navy on the away uniform? I don't mind either of these looks, but now we're in Giants territory with the blue-dominant home and red-dominant away look. Kind of incoherent.

This s a great example of why this redesign was so poor. The prior set had perfect consistent treatment of the bolt. The white bolt was always set against a blue background. The navy bolt outline on the current set does not provide the same effect which makes the whole set a fail. They need to start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Just because something has been done, doesnt' mean it was done well or should be done again. It wouldn't work for the Chargers. The only options for the white jersey would be white, navy, and maybe yellow.
