gothedistance Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Derwin James is going to miss the 2020 season. This sucks. Was looking forward to seeing him in action with the new Chargers uniforms. The only time we see him in the new getup was for the model shoot. Have to wait for 2021 to see him play in them.

VDizzle12 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Some of those bolts are really, really bad. Glad the branding ended up where it did. A nice evolution pulling from a traditional look, while still being modern and cohesive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleVermilion81 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 A lot of those bolt designs seem to be created around the idea of showing that all avenues were explored. Avoids a lot of the, "But what about..." I often hear when I'm presenting my own work I know. A nice way to show, "We explored this and just doesn't work." Showing a client it doesn't work is much better than just showing the client 1 really good design and verbally shooting down their suggestions.

The_Admiral Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Lightning bolts are tricky because you can send yourself right back to the drawing board if it looks vaguely like the SS symbol. No such issues with the helmet bolt. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGlowin Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I would have liked a whole new bolt, but they tried and didn't work. Notice the BFBS uniform. No thanks. The new Navy is pretty close to Black while still relevant to the chargers. Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DouglasQuaid Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I really like the direction that they went with, although the white paneled bolt stripes look great (just like the throwbacks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two reasons that doesn't work, the first reason is that if they did that it would mean the bolt would have to be white on a white helmet and that doesn't work and second the helmet then wouldn't be a reference to the first LA helmet.

I'm not suggesting a white bolt. I'm suggesting a bolt on a white panel. What I'm suggesting, effectively, is a Color Rush set similar to their primary set in 2017 and 2018. Personally, I think the decision to use a navy bolt for the Color Rush set was stupid. There's a reason they only wore navy bolts for one year: a gold bolt looks so much better.

Rockstar Matt Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It’s looking like the Rams won’t have painted end zones or anything in the end zones. It should be painted or being put into place today if they’re going to do anything, but every picture they’re showing of SoFi has it bare.

Especially for a stadium debut. There’s still plenty of time to get them painted up. These multi-use venues can often flip the field in one single night. Here in Atlanta, for example, they can have a soccer game one night, flip it to college football for the next night, and the day after that is hosting the Falcons. Each event with its own markings and designs. It just requires an overnight crew. The Rams don’t play until Sunday night, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleylash Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I think the big problem for the Rams is that they're not the sole occupant of SoFi. Doesn't really make much economic sense to have to tear up the turf to change out the endzones for whenever the Rams or Chargers are playing. Keeping it generic makes that a non-issue since it applies to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Cowboys stadium has multiple field turfs for the various sporting events that they host (Cowboys, CFB, soccer) so it would make sense that SoFi would do something similar. Especially seeing that stadium is due to host a variety of different sporting events in the coming years. I just would have thought that the Rams would put something in the end zone by now. To echo your statement, I’d be shocked too, if the Rams don’t put anything in their end zones. 20 minutes ago, Ridleylash said: I think the big problem for the Rams is that they're not the sole occupant of SoFi.

They play on artificial turf and they already have their Ram head logo at midfield, which would have to be changed out for Charger home games anyways. The LA Coliseum grounds crew would change field markings, midfield logo and the end zones when going from USC home games to Rams’ home games. They did it on grass, and occasionally in less than a day, which is much more difficult than an artificial turf change. The Giants and Jets have been doing that for years now too. So I don’t think that’s an issue. Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
