Southern California fans love the yellow/gold, and the addition of grey distinguishes the Chargers from the Rams while showcasing that they're a "different" team. Seems like a good enough color scheme as Madden even uses it for an LA team. Use the beloved powder blue unis as alternates/throwbacks for the longtime/Southern California fans who converted from San Diego to LA. Also it fits with the "charger" theme...(new logo is a dark grey cloud with a lighting bolt?) Why not just red-orange, light green, black, and white for the relocated team. Red-orange being the prime color while light green accents with black and white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team originated in Los Angeles 2. Los Angeles isn't too far from San Diego 3. Team name has been in existence since 1960 Sure, fun to think of new names but the reality has to remaining the Chargers. Second that.If the Spanos family has any clue they'll go powder blue,same name,1960's logo and do one simple thing.Win.If you can field a winning team people will be drawn to your product.Otherwise Dean save your focus group,re-branding thingy and buy yourself some booze.You'll need it.

This is starting to resemble some of the old "Jazz to New Orleans, Hornets to Charlotte, Bobcats to Utah" proposals. (Granted, one of those actually wound up happening.)

Old School Fool Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I'm guessing the Rams are going to just use a navy/white logo for 2017 and 2018 then do a full rebrand for 2019. That NFL Shop post above is weird because it's even in use on the non-mobile site. This is the first time I've ever seen the NFL actually market the Rams with navy/white since the move so this is strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems odd to me that it would have an NFL patch on the sleeve when the Chargers were an AFL team and the jacket clearly references the AFL era (especially the All-American City patch). When I purchased the jacket I made that EXACT comment. I even went as far as looking for an old AFL shield to put on there. I purchased the jacket in Orange County by the way. They also had a blue and white Rams one...just not in my size. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cards moved one time and did not change name. Colts moved one time and did not change name. Okay, the Browns moved and changed name, I'm dead sure the Chargers will heep their super name. Yes, recolor the whole thing, heck, why not a new logo? I'd love to see something, say dark grey and gold or such, there so many possibilities with the name Chargers. But reason will prevail and the Chargers will keep their name. The Cardinals actually started out in Chicago, so they've moved twice without changing their name.

TJSC Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Here's another reason to keep the Chargers' name; it has LA roots. "According to the official website of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Barron Hilton agreed after his general manager, Frank Leahy, picked the Chargers name when he purchased an AFL franchise for Los Angeles: "I liked it because they were yelling 'charge' and sounding the bugle at Dodgers Stadium and at USC games." -1960 Los Angeles Chargers Wikipedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I call semi-BS ... Barron Hilton had just debuted the Carte Blanche charge card, and it was semi-named after that, according to many non-Chargers sources I've seen in many books. But the reality also may be mixed as the shield logo - an electric charge and an Arab charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
