I know U of Alabama retail helmets sell with the number of national titles they have on the helmet, so something with precedent like that would work. Maybe the year the franchise was established? I’m a big fan of this idea. If there’s any question, it’s a simple and easy enough reference to point to and answer with. I think that’s the way to go.

mcrosby Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 5 minutes ago, BringBackTheVet said: The helmet numbers effectively replace the TV numbers. I never thought we'd see helmet numbers again, because of merchandising. What number do people that want a helmet buy? You don't want to get a player one, because like a jersey, it'd be out of date when the player leaves. Also, in promotional material, what number do they use? Some of that material (like pennants) get used for years, so can't be player specific. I think putting "L A" in place of the numbers would have been a good compromise between the look of the numbers, but more practicality, and cement them as an LA team. I know that when I get a mini helmet that has numbers I go with the year that helmet began its existence. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostOfNormMacdonald Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Since I'm younger and don't have nostalgia for a lot of classic looks, the regular uniforms jump into my top 10, maybe top 5, looks in the league. Simply incredible. Navy looks like Kent State, and Kent isn't a state so... meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kutztown Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Couldn't figure out how to embed from Instagram, but if you look at the @michaelirwinco Chargers post, it displays the full number font, 0-9. He also has a post up on his page with some other fascinating shots surrounding the redesign. MOD EDIT: Here you go. Paste the Instagram URL without the ? and all the characters behind it.

JOEYxFRESCO Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Couldn’t pin point why I hate the numbers so much but then I remembered the old FUBU jerseys from the 90s that use italicized numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Dare I say it, I almost like the Chargers new uniforms better than the new Browns uniforms. Almost. (As a Browns fan, I'm contractually obligated, etc.) I'm not crazy about the two mono-blue looks, but the rest? 10/10. Outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Akronite- Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I don't think they look bad but it is a disappointing end product. For the most part they just made a lot of decisions that I wouldn't. I prefer panels on the uniforms and pants because otherwise it feels fairly empty. While the helmet numbers are fine, I think their helmet is better without them. But arguably this is a lateral move when everyone wanted an upgrade. As for the extra looks, navy looks fine but you don't need it. The royal is also fun but even less necessary when you remember who your roommate is. EDIT: This probably came off more negative than necessary. They did well and could conceivably stick to this, it just isn't my ideal look for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kutztown Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Also, I'm giving this a 9.9/10. My only gripe, and it's so minor, is that the wordmark isn't included below the collar. I know teams are going away from this in today's NFL, but that's something I always liked (as long as it wasn't the size of a billboard *cough ATL cough*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattr1198 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I really love the Chargers' new unis, but really don't like the yellow pants. Everything else is just: NYC x STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawk36 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Huge upgrade. Could do without the navy. Would like to see a yellow pant with royal to be worn with the royal jersey but that may be to come. Powder over yellow doesn't work, but the white over yellow is pretty great. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BW14 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I think I’d prefer single color numbers on the primary home and away jerseys. You can’t really see the yellow outline against the white anyway and the numbers would match the helmet numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
