The Chargers released their new 2020 uniform designs early this morning on NFL Networks Good Morning Football. Joey Bosa did a really great job on the network, proudly displaying the new uniforms. Just for the record, LACI loves the new uniforms!
The uniform reveal comes a little under one month after Los Angeles unveiled a sleeker, more streamlined logo and associated wordmarks, which make the Chargers’ Powder Blue and Sunshine Gold color scheme even more prominent than before.
Los Angeles white helmet notably remains intact, as does the gold face mask first introduced with the team’s Color Rush set in 2016. The only discernible differences are the updated logo and the addition of numerals on both sides of the helmet, as well as the new word-marks on the front and back bumpers.
The Chargers home and road uniforms, meanwhile, are completely devoid of navy blue, matching the new primary logo. They also feature a simplified design on the shoulders, notably lacking the contrasting panels that previously housed the lightning bolts, and a new custom number font that pulls inspiration from the car culture of Los Angeles in the 1960’s.
Los Angeles kept its royal blue Color Rush uniform in the rotation but also unveiled an all-navy Color Rush uniform that follows the same design as the home and road sets, but completely and interestingly lacks powder blue. Whenever that uniform is worn, the team will swap the helmet decals with a new navy blue and gold version of primary logo, while the face mask will change from gold to navy blue, as well.
The Chargers now have four different pairs of pants, each of which include the simplified bolt design. The white and yellow pants are the only ones that can be worn with the home and road set, however, while the royal and navy blue pants go with their monochrome Color Rush sets, respectively.
Los Angeles’ uniform unveiling was a bit different than other teams this off-season — which has so far included the Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers — in that the Chargers did not give any extended explanation for the changes. Instead, they shared comments from some current and former players.
“The all-navy has always been my favorite, and those are even cooler,” said defensive end Joey Bosa.
