The Chargers first attempt at a new logo was universally mocked and shit on, and it lasted a week. A WEEK!!! The Chargers front office actually listened to feedback and made changes. The Rams front office is hiding behind closed doors and counting on Rams fans begrudging acceptance to this steaming pile so that they can pat themselves on the back and call it a success.

I know I probably hate the new logo more than most, and it's all personal opinion, but to watch fans just "get used to it" and roll over....that's just sad. Where the hell is the fight?! This is football right? Not cricket or lawn bowling?

At this point I'm hoping our new uni's don't come complete with giant shoes, a rainbow colored afro wig, and big red nose that beeps! That might take a whole month for Rams fans to "accept" and "move on from".

This bothers me because at least something in every former iteration of our uni's held at least some amount of pride. I LOVED the blue and whites, like everyone I LOVE the helmets (that they're going to butcher), hell I liked the god damn snail logo!!! This new stuff...maybe if they actually win a Superbowl in them. Otherwise, it's Demoff stroking his ego, and putting the LA stamp on the Rams instead of putting the Rams stamp on LA.

Chargers are continuing to make the Rams look bad. Chargers nailed their uniforms, mocked the Rams while doing and are taking credit for Sofi all while paying just $1 while the media seems to agree that it's theirs.

It is their home stadium. On Charger game days, there will be no evidence of the Rams or Kroenke or anything other than the Chargers. That was the deal. Could be why the media act like it's their home, too.

You don't have to like it, but honestly, how do you expect the Chargers to act with SoFi? Do you expect them to be all obsequious and bowing down to Kroenke all the time, and say things like, "We're so grateful to the Rams for allowing us to play in their stadium, we're not worthy."

WE know they're not worthy, but that's not what they're going to say.

I don't expect much from the Chargers but I do expect the media and general audience to call them on their BS.

I just don't get why the league treats Spanos as such a charity case? Why do they act as if they owe him so much?

It's not BS. Kroenke and the Rams agreed to the same deal.

Rams fans may hate it but it's legit. The Chargers are an NFL team. They play in L.A at Sofi stadium. They're allowed to promote themselves. In fact it's good for the NFL and the Rams if they're successful.

The Rams didn't pay jack for the dome in St. Louis but they still got act like it was their stadium and didn't apologize for the sweet deal they got from St. Louis.

That's how it works...

The Rams didn't ask for the Chargers as a tenant though. It was forced on them. St. Louis rolled out the red carpet and gave the Rams a stadium. I don't think it's the same.

The league held a gun to Stan’s head basically brokering this sweetheart deal for Spanos as a condition to get the votes to allow the Rams to move.

Spanos must have some pictures of other owners doing some bad stuff. The deal Stan was forced to sign was ridiculous. Spanos should have contributed the same money that his phony Raiders-Chargers plan said he would pay

I take ZERO offense my friend. And trust me, I am not happy about what they have trotted out for the logos. I doubt I will be happy with the unis either. But, I realize that I have no control over it. None of us do. Now, when the petitions start up, if I am that unhappy, I will sign, email, what have you. But, I am not going to let shit logos and unis destroy my being a fan of the team and the game being played. At this point, it will be a blessing if games are played at all.

Oh, and I FORCED myself to use the new logo as my avatar - so I could condition myself to deal with it. I know you hate that philosophy and again, I will most likely change it to something old school once the shit unis come out. Unless I somehow actually like them.

As if there was any doubt at all, Adam Pendleton was wrong.
