Whether it’s the age of social media or true feelings on the design of the logo, there may have never been a more criticized logo unveiling in professional sorts as the newly titled Los Angeles Chargers suffered today.
But just hours after releasing the logo, the team reportedly said they won’t use it on any helmets or uniforms, noting it was for ‘marketing purposes only’, which in other words, is essentially total BS.
The @Chargers told me this is NOT their new logo- you won't see it on helmets or uniforms… it was for marketing purposes today. pic.twitter.com/xZaucUmYgT

Of course, nobody else is buying the explanation…
@LizHabib @Chargers translation: the reaction to it was so bad, were back to the drawing board

@LizHabib @Chargers I wonder if that decision was made after the unpopular response.
