The Los Angeles Chargers just did something that no team has yet to do this offseason. No, this has nothing to do with free agency signings or deals, I'm talking about uniforms. Many NFL teams have unveiled new looks since the 2019 season ended, but they were all mostly met with disappointment. Then the Chargers showed up and got the kind of approval on their redesign that other teams only dream of having.
How did L.A. manage to please sports fans, who notoriously like to find something wrong with everything?
Two words: Powder. Blue.
Their logo and new unis were revealed on Tuesday with a hype video that will get you fired up for football season.

There are few things more universally loved in football than powder blue jerseys, so beginning there was a strong start for the Chargers design team.
They went with six new re-imagined looks, with various helmet designs, a sleek bolt down the side of the pants and another bolt on the shoulder pads. They described the new unis by saying, "The best got better."

Fans met the new look with excitement and praised the Chargers for their ability to bring in the old, while modernizing the look.
With six jersey, pant and helmet combinations there really is something for everyone. Their home jerseys will be the classic powder blue, while the away look will be the white jerseys.

Some went so far as to say they have the best uniforms not just in the NFL, but in all of sports. At least the Chargers are finally first in something.

This guy is thinking ahead.
Could the blue be a issue for vision if future games have to be played out at sea

Not only do the Chargers have new uniforms heading into the 2020 season, they will have a new stadium and a new quarterback as well.
