MilSox Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Honestly, I've come around on the yellow pants. I'd probably hate them if there weren't a historical precedent for it going back to their AFL days. But as it is, it's a look that stays true to their tradition and makes them stand out.

So dont see being much different from theirs when it comes to the pants The yellow pants seem too dark/washed out in the renderings the Chargers released.

Carolingian Steamroller Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 What are the odds the Rams saw the reaction to the LA logo and are frantically revising the uniforms to avoid a debacle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colortv Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I'm somewhat surprised more people aren't advocating for powder blue facemasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is rookie Adam Vinatieri with then-Pats punter/future Jets quarterback Tom Tupa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my head that doesn't look good but maybe a mockup would look better? I feel like yellow has more history with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's really no good solution for the Color Rush. Would there still be room for tv numbers on the sleeves ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questions regarding no TV numbers on the Patriots unis are justified, but these Chargers unis don't make it a trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colortv Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Just watched this. If nothing else in addition to the uniforms the Chargers have a hell of a social media team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They provide a little flair to an otherwise nice/professional but... static font. It adds flair without being tacky, and goes with their brand and the whole "dynamic" thing. It looks especially great in the 'shop of the guy running with the ball. I think that's why this set is so great (other than the two CRs) - they didn't go to extremes with anything they did. They did exactly what the Falcons should have, and introduced new things without turning the volume up to 11 on any one aspect of it. Outside of only one or two quibbles, they did a fantastic jorb with this. I agree,.italics seem like an appropriate but subtle touch for electrified "Chargers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostOfNormMacdonald Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 My theory is that Nike has pushed a narrative that TV numbers are old fashioned and not necessary. The Patriots and Chargers (I don't think the helmet numbers will be visible from far away) are just the first victims. I'm not saying they're going to disappear, but I can see a few teams dropping them in the next few decades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they're going to disappear, but I can see a few teams dropping them in the next few decades I think it's more that the shrinking uniform templates along with the need to have the swoosh on the sleeve have made it very difficult to have more than one of: team logo, TV number, shoulder trim. You could argue that Nike caused this by making the templates, but it's also the way the players had been modiying the older templates too, so it's hard to put that all on Nike.
