Chargers Primary Logo

Known as “The Bolts,” The Los Angeles Chargers franchise has existed since 1960. Before the AFL-NFL merger, the Chargers won an AFL Championship in 1963. The franchise started in Los Angeles in its 1st year. After that, the franchise spent 55 years in San Diego before returning to the City of Angels.

Given that this is a franchise in which greats such as LaDainian Tomlinson, Junior Seau, Dan Fouts, and Philip Rivers, it makes perfect sense that we would have a logo history for the Chargers. After all, their logo history is quite extensive. However, Chargers fans can expect to see a lightning bolt in every logo. Over the last twenty years, the franchise has only made its primary logo lightning bolt. As you will see, the colors of the bolts have changed from white to gold with outlines that were primarily different shades of blue.

From 1960 to 2001, the logo history consisted of two helmet logos. Many will also be interested to see that the first two logos contained horsehead logos and a lightning bolt logo.
