Which Charger uniform do you like the best? (1 Viewer)

[JohnnyU]

Spin-off from the other Charger Uniform thread. I think it needs a poll to see what the majority likes.

Chris Berman has turned this (too) into a cliche, but I do like the powder blues better.

 

[2112]

FWIW, Shawn Merriman was on ESPNews earlier, and referred to the color as "sky blue." Probably seems more manly.

ps - voted navy

The powder blues would be my favorite uniforms in sports if those helmets weren't so damn ugly. Either way, they beat out the Navies. SD would recreate the design on the Navy helmets, except replace the navy with the powder blue, then they'd be cooking with gas.

I'm in the minority among Charger fans, but I like the Navy blue better than the sky blue. Both are better than the Royal blue from the 1970s and 1980s.

 

[Gr00vus]

I voted Navy.

 

[WisWolvrns]

the old Fouts era jersey's

 

[kupcho1]

Flawed

Nautical look

(although that might actually qualify as "navy")

 

[Borat]

I don't think either of them are anything special.

They're both great. THe thrill of few appearances makes the powder blue choice such treat. And if it's rtegualr unis, it's still great.

The powder blues are all right every once in a while, but on an every week basis I would take the navies.

Even though I am not a fan of the powder blues, it would be cool if the Chargers made it to the Super Bowl and wore them..

 

[ffweasel]

Definitely Navy. Powder Blue?!?!

55+ FBGs with very bad fashion sense...

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

The ones they wore this week - WITH the throwback helmets.

The helmets add to the coolness of 'em.

I really dig the jersey numbers being on the sides of the helmet.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Powder Blues, with the white helmets.

Not too many people know this but the chargers employ 2 different jerseys with their navy ensemble. The difference is in the lightening bolts on the shoulders. Lineman generally have fewer 'zig-zags' in the shoulder bolt, while the rest of the players have more 'zig-zags'. There are exceptions to this, so I'm not sure of the rhyme or reason.

I picked this up from a thread on the Chargers message board. They have photos there.

I vote navy (with navy pants)

 

[BAT1man]

Look at Miami's helmets through the years.When I was watching highlites of Super Bowl VIII against Minnesota, I noticed that some of the players were wearing the helmet logo with the Dolphin out of the sun, and some were wearing the helmet logo with the Dolphin in the sun. I thought I was going nuts, but it's confirmed.

A number of relatively minor changes were made to the Dolphins' helmet logo during the late 1960s and early 1970s; I have attempted to represent only the more substantial of these changes here. Note the two main versions of the logo that were used during this period: one with the dolphin's head inside the circle, and the other with it outside. There were at least some games when both of these logos were in use at the same time by different players. The size of the logo and its colors were also inconsistent during this period, the "aqua" color varying from a bluish hue to a greenish one. The logo was modernized for the 1997 season.

Here is some additional information about the two logo variations used during the Dolphins' early years, provided by site visitor Bob G.: "The team went back and forth between the "in the sun" and "out of the sun" logos between 1966 and 1969; sometimes I believe, within a season. Starting in 1970 they seemed to have settled with the "in the sun" logo, until from the final regular season game of 1973 (vs. Detroit) thru the playoffs, about half of the team (mostly lineman) started wearing the "out of the sun" version. Pictures which show both logos on the field at the same time come from this period. Please also note that this "out of the sun" logo is much smaller than the one worn in the '60s. In 1974, the Dolphins went back exclusively to the "out of the sun" logo. (One exception was running back Norm Bulaich, who played with the team around '75-'76, wore the "in the sun" logo, which drove me crazy). Sometime around 1990, perhaps due to a change in manufacturer, the dolphin in the logo (but not the sun) became slightly larger. The "in the sun" logo was brought back for "throwback" games in 1994 against the Jets and Vikings."

And here are additional comments on this matter from site visitor "Gazzoo": "The "in the sun" logo was worn in the Dolphins initial season of 1966, but only for the first three games. They then switched to the "out of sun" version for the remainder of 1966 and all of 1967 and 1968.

"Starting in 1969, the Dolphins again went to the "in the sun" version, except for the 1970 preseason, when they went logo-less. This continued until the final regular season game of 1973 against Detroit, when about half the team (mostly linemen) started wearing the "out of sun" logo. This continued for the 1973 playoffs, including Super Bowl VIII. Any pictures you come across with both logos on the field at the same time come from this four game stretch (Lions, Bengals, Raiders, Vikings). Also note that this "out of sun" logo was much smaller than the one worn in the 1960s.

"In 1974, the Dolphins went exclusively to this smaller "out of sun" logo. Sometime around 1990, perhaps due to a change in decal manufacturer, the dolphin in the logo (but not the sun) became slightly larger. The "in the sun" logo was brought back for the 1994 throwback games; but the 2003 Thanksgiving Day throwback, supposedly based on the 1973 uniforms, actually used the early 1990's version of the logo.
