Just Kidding! Chargers Yank Both Logos

The Chargers have spurned San Diego's stadium offer because it wasn't, eh, it wasn't...going to make enough money for Dean Spanos? Maybe cost too much of his own money?

Anyway they dropped their first attempt at a logo on their first day in town like a dad out with a 20 year old yoga instructor the first night after signing the divorce papers:


It was roundly panned by fans and was even the target of derision by both professional and college teams.

The reaction was such that both the Chargers and the NFL said that it most certainly wasn't the real logo, and voila! here is the real logo:


They traded the Dodgers colors for the UCLA Bruins. In their defense, this matches the real Chargers actual colors.

It sounds like they scrapped the entire thing and are starting over.

Also, in the five years of living in LA county, I have an unscientific list of the area's favorite football teams: (Keep an eye on the Chargers)

  1. USC Trojans
  2. Raiders
  3. 49ers
  4. Steelers
  5. UCLA Bruins
  6. Cowboys
  7. Patriots
  8. Rams
  9. Seahawks
  10. Chargers, maybe?
