Chargers rebrand gets roasted
The Chargers, formerly of San Diego, have officially relocated to Los Angeles. The NFL Franchise rebranded yesterday, and it went down a treat on social media.

The NFL’s verified Twitter account – who initially tweeted the logo – has since deleted the tweet, with the organisation now claiming that the post was simply released for “marketing purposes”.
Calm down, everyone: New Chargers logo is NOT replacing any current team marks. Just a marketing logo to celebrate the move to LA.
