SPRFanOf5H: RIP San Diego Chargers

SPRFanOf5H 01.12.17	RIP Chargers 1961-2017 2017's first major victim.
Drifter 01.12.17	Sure do love me some Ego Trippin'
50iL 01.12.17	Youd suck big daddy dick for any Snoop release lmao
dbizzles 01.12.17	Pretty lame move.
AlexKzillion 01.12.17	The Chargers are still going to be a team lol, they aren't getting a name change
50iL 01.12.17	@bizzles[2]
Drifter 01.12.17	@50 you're damn right I do
DominionMM1 01.12.17	Yeah but they won't be the San Diego chargers anymore
50iL 01.12.17	1 is p hot tbh
dbizzles 01.12.17	I'm not for any teams splitting a stadium, not even intersport teams. I hope the Raiders move to Vegas so we don't have to keep playing half a season on a shitty baseball field in the middle of our ancient toilet coliseum.
AlexKzillion 01.12.17	Phillip Rivers is probably my favorite non-Steelers/Seahawks player tbh
50iL 01.12.17	Yeah pretty goat QB
Source 01.12.17	Really? personally I can't stand Rivers. Dude's a crybaby.
50iL 01.12.17	I mean I've only seen him play, I haven't seen interviews/post game shit/whatever
MO 01.12.17	Yes pretty much their star player really Also damn RIP
Snake. 01.12.17	"I hope the Raiders move to Vegas so we don't have to keep playing half a season on a shitty baseball field in the middle of our ancient toilet coliseum." good luck with that bc vegas is already blowing all their money on funding a toilet hockey arena that nobody is going to give a fuck about in a year or so
dbizzles 01.12.17	I know they allocated some spending for that, but the difference between a hockey arena and an NFL team and stadium is huge. The steps are in place and since the City of Oakland refuses to use any public funds for a new stadium and the NFL is cold on helping them negotiate financially in Oakland, my money is on the team moving in the next 2-3 years. Should hear more about it in the off-season.
SPRFanOf5H 01.12.17	There is a serious possibility that the Chargers will play their games at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. Whys that relevant? That stadium only has 27,000 seats. Lowest seating stadium in the league, and it won't even be close if a reality.
wham49 01.12.17	The NFL should be like roller derby, teams play for random cities but everybody place at one cite, like Vegas or something
dbizzles 01.12.17	'There is a serious possibility that the Chargers will play their games at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. Whys that relevant? That stadium only has 27,000 seats.' Wow. That's terrible. 'The NFL should be like roller derby, teams play for random cities but everybody place at one cite, like Vegas or something' The logistics of that are impossible.
budgie 01.12.17	anyone else here from san diego?
dbizzles 01.12.17	Not me. My city will never have another pro team.
AlexKzillion 01.12.17	At least the Chargers are actually an entertaining team to watch, unlike the Rams
Titan 01.12.17	awesome, now LA has 2 shitty franchises!
AlexKzillion 01.12.17	Lol that new logo looks exactly like the Dodger's logo
DominionMM1 01.12.17	shit logo [2]
dbizzles 01.12.17	Wait. Where did you see a new logo?
Titan 01.12.17	awful agreed
dbizzles 01.12.17	Nvm. I saw it. It has potentially, but just looks lazy as fuck, like a first draft. How about some outline and color?
Titan 01.12.17	temporary stadium seats 30,000 oops, should've read the whole thread
dbizzles 01.12.17	Wiki lists capacity at 27K.
Titan 01.12.17	nfl.com article states it can expand to 30
dbizzles 01.12.17	Ah, that makes sense.
SteveOffProbation 01.12.17	just wait until pencil comes into this thread lmao
dbizzles 01.12.17	I wonder if they'll even need to expand it lol. Their home games now had the lowest % of seats filled in the NFL this year and a lot of the seats were fans of the visiting team.
SPRFanOf5H 01.12.17	It's official: StubHub Center is the temporary home of the Chargers. They're branding it as the only NFL stadium that offers an "up-close, intimate" setting, I swear they're trying to make it a good thing to seat a 27,000 seat stadium. Also, many San Diego fans are honking and giving the finger to their facility today. What a time to be alive.
AlexKzillion 01.12.17	Why don't people like the Chargers? I just dont understand how their home games have more Raiders fans then Chargers fans.
DominionMM1 01.12.17	Because they suck
AlexKzillion 01.12.17	If half the roster isn't on IR by Week 8, I can see them being a 10 win team next year (if they werent in the afc west)
Divaman 01.12.17	Sucks. Not exactly news, but these sports franchises and leagues don't give a tinker's cuss about the fans.
Black Ink 01.12.17	"The Chargers are still going to be a team lol, they aren't getting a name change" Thats only possibly true for 2017. After that they could very well be up for a complete brand over haul. The new crap logo is only a sign of things to come.
dbizzles 01.12.17	Yeah, I think they only have to honor the existing uniform and name until their contract with Nike is up.
Source 01.12.17	It's not like their old logo was amazing or anything. It was just a lightning bolt. In fact it was probably my least favorite nfl logo
Trebor. 01.12.17	I'm a San Diego fan but I live in LA. That being said, I'm even less inclined to go to a game now
dbizzles 01.12.17	What about the Browns, Source? And don't give me any crap about the bulldog being their logo. There are a few lame ass logos in the NFL.
Trebor. 01.12.17	They should go back to the elf
Source 01.12.17	It's about on the same level as the chargers' now former logo
dbizzles 01.12.17	Haha that thing reminds me of the Celtics.
Source 01.12.17	I've always liked the Broncos and Seahawks logos the most, and it really is just a coincidence that they're my favorite teams.
dbizzles 01.12.17	Oh, god. Denver's logo is fucking terrible. Looks like a tribal fire pony with an ever-open mouth to vacuum in dicks.
Source 01.12.17	Eh I like it
Source 01.12.17	The Seahawks logo actually looks better now than our logo from back in the day
Spec 01.12.17	where's charger27 or whatever i think the news requires a pointless ranked list
Trebor. 01.12.17	Seahawks logo is interesting because it connects around the back of the helmet
AtomicWaste 01.12.17	"The Chargers are still going to be a team lol, they aren't getting a name change" An article on PFT this morning said they were mulling a name change (a la Oilers --> Titans) within the next few years. Probably in time to join the Rams at Les Snead's new stadium.
dbizzles 01.12.17	The older Denver logo is way better. Sure, it looks outdated, but when they changed to the new one they lost some identity, imo. Looks similar to some other logos when it was unique to their brand before.
Trebor. 01.12.17	Every Denver related belongs in a trash compactor
dbizzles 01.12.17	I hate Denver so much, but their new logo could easily be a tramp stamp. Plus their stupid fans always put the decal on their cars so that the neck is parallel to the bottom of the window for some reason. Drives me crazy. I live in Utah, so they have a lot of fans here.
Titan 01.12.17	'The older Denver logo is way better. Sure, it looks outdated, but when they changed to the new one they lost some identity, imo.' agreed hard
Feather 01.12.17	Bears logo is pretty bad ass, Browns is Shit agreed but its also very fitting for them.
dbizzles 01.12.17	lol. I do like the Bears logo. The logos I think are pretty shit are Cleveland (though I'm not sure what you even do with a mascot like that), the Jets (same), San Francisco (same) the Steelers, Denver, and Miami AKA SeaWorld AKA Snowflake from Ace Ventura.
dbizzles 01.12.17	Never cared for the Rams logo either now that I think of it.
Black Ink 01.12.17	Chargers logo isn't that great but those powder blue unis are worth saving.
Black Ink 01.12.17	Also lol https://twitter.com/LizHabib/status/819642167006138368
demoncleaner 01.12.17	https://twitter.com/TBLightning/status/819596619943440384 best thing to come from this whole situation
Source 01.12.17	Dang, didn't realize so many people hate Denver's current logo. I've always liked it because the horse's head looks aggressive. That's also why I like the current Seahawks logo more than the old one. The old one looked like something from a totem pole which is fine, but the current one looks better suited to football.
dbizzles 01.12.17	Seahawks logo is good.
AlexKzillion 01.12.17	Wait so they are thinking about a full on overhaul? Wtf?
AlexKzillion 01.12.17	Need to get a powder blue Rivers jersey before it's too late.
dbizzles 01.13.17	The powder blue uniforms are sharp.
ScorpionStan 01.13.17	So I hear rumors that apparently they're thinking about rebranding as the Aftershocks.....MAJOR lol Damn this was my team, but they're dead to me now. Congrats Dean Spanos, you just fucking ruined your team. First he couldn't get a stadium deal done with SD for over a decade, pissing off the local fans who just simply wanted a modern facility. This also pissed off the NFL, since they made it clear they wanted the Chargers to stay in SD. Then Spanos jumps for LA too late, after Rams are already re-establishing themselves and their fanbase. Oh and the stadium they'll be sharing eventually? It's controlled by the RAMS owner. So basically Dean Spanos has somehow engineered the perfect shitstorm where SD fans have no desire to continue supporting the team, LA sports fans have no reason to begin supporting them, and the NFL has no desire to lend a helping hand either. He has literally guaranteed that the team will always play second fiddle, be the ugly stepchild, etc. in LA. What a fucking idiot.
AlexKzillion 01.13.17	"The Aftershocks" is one of the funniest sports-related things I've heard in a while
ScorpionStan 01.13.17	"Get it? San Andreas fault line? Earthquakes? Super clever right?" ugh I want to kill myself
Source 01.13.17	There wasn't anything special about the chargers anyway, at least not since ladainian tomlinson stopped playing for them.
AlexKzillion 01.13.17	Pretty much the AFC version of the Saints right now, except with way worse management obv
dbizzles 01.13.17	Hahahaha the Aftershocks hahahahahahahaha!
Source 01.13.17	Kind of a piss poor name since people die in earthquakes. But it's a lame name aside from that
AlexKzillion 01.13.17	People get struck by lightning too
dbizzles 01.14.17	Why not the Quake instead of the Afterthoughts?
