If I force myself to look at it with the specific attitude of "can I make this a Chargers logo" then yeah, sure, I guess. But for me, the LA as well as the ram horn read very clearly. As I've said before, my only major issue is with the gradients (but the rounded horn annoys me too). It looks and feels like the team set out what they wanted to accomplish: combine the Rams and Los Angeles football into one brand. They succeeded. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like one of those vintage hand drawn logos of ye olden days. When every thing else is clean lines, fresh and bright, I don’t think it’s modernized enough to fit the whole package. Good point. That's what's off about it, I just couldn't articulate it. It's vintage in an otherwise modern set. I usually like Art Deco stuff a lot but that wordmark they'd been using felt so devoid of any character for some reason. Didn't work for me at all. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I’m not at all convinced that those are the original LA colors. Yes I did. I'm not sure they are either but here are the original colors as posted Trucolor.net below. I still wish they would go mostly powder blue and white with yellow as an accent to make themselves much different from the Rams. Hopefully we find out tomorrow. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (1960) FRANCHISE COLORS 1960: Pacific Blue, Navy, Yellow, White PRIMARY COLORS PACIFIC BLUE * #2C5697 * R44 G86 B151 NAVY * #041E42 * R4 G30 B66 YELLOW * #F2A900 * R242 G169 B0 WHITE #FFFFFF R255 G255 B255 HELMET FACEMASKS GRAY * #B3B3B3 * R179 G179 B179 I hope they just stick with an updated variation of this and we're are good.

In a vacuum I do think the ram head looks cool for this reason but you’re right, the unevenness of it doesn’t match the rest of the designs. However here’s hoping it’s the midfield logo.

Dynasty Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 It's not that bad. Adding a ram horn into the LA monogram is a nice idea, but I just don't know if I like that horn style or not. Gradient also doesn't work very well for every logo application. I figured they would still have a ram head logo somewhere in this identity, but this one in particular isn't good enough to reach primary status. The best decision so far is the return of royal and gold, but that was a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gr3g3 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Nailed the colors. LA logo isn't good. I hate the gradient. Ram head is a Solid C+, but there is so much room for improvement. This reveal has me worried that we're gonna see a ton of gradients on the uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Nailing the colors the way they did makes you wonder why they didn't do it the day they announced the move back if they were always going to get there anyway. They spent four years getting dressed in the dark just to hold a press conference? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikWings Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The Ram head is fine, not as good as what it replaced, but fine, and should be the primary. The LA one is still garbage and looks pretty bad on hats. They're gonna ruin the best helmet in the NFL with that garbage gradient horn too, aren't they?

CaliforniaGlowin Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Bits of Demoff interview: the old logos were disconnected, they wanted a connection between the logos fans wanted the colors of the uniform and helmet to match, and most fans wanted royal and yellow Construction is still happening at Sofi despite California quarantine.
