Hopefully, the league makes them change it.

Working logo? WTF is that? Other teams have moved and even kept their names. The Titans were called the Oilers for over a year. Just call it what it is, an embarassing botch job. They even let it leak they were moving before contacting the Rams. Just awful.

Hate it, just like I'll hate if the Raiders move to Vegas.

And yeah, LA won't support them. They'll be back in San Diego, or god forbid, some other lesser city, within 10 years.

Saw an article that mentioned Spanos is paying $555 million to the NFL as a relocation fee; that if he could have fronted that for a new stadium in San Diego something could have probably been worked out.

It's a dumb move for the Chargers and it's a dumb move for the NFL in general. I just don't get it.

He has some grand idea of massive dollar signs in LA. These owners look at LA like it's some type of treasure that they just need to unlock the chest too. Unfortunately all you need to do is look at the history of the NFL in LA to see that it's probably not going to happen.

People in LA have so many options for entertainment. Unless the team is winning, they won't give a shit about the Rams, let alone the Chargers.

the Chargers are claiming that logo was for "marketing purposes only" and will not be used on their jerseys. What this really means is the internet made fun of them relentlessly for 6 hours and in the end made them realize how stupid the logo really is.

I was listening to some NFL radio earlier and the analysts were absolutely going off about this. Specifically they couldn't understand why the Chargers are trying to keep the Chargers name. And I totally agree. The move to LA for the Chargers is absolutely idiotic for so many reasons but if you're going to do it, why not at least rebrand the team as an LA team. Start with a new name, new uniforms and make LA feel like it's actually their team. And hell it may actually give them an advantage over the Rams by doing so.

Instead they come out with this retarded new logo and try to pass it off as exciting. Frankly the people of LA I don't think even want the Chargers.

Twitter has been just brutal on the Chargers.

Even the Browns are laffing at them.
