    Some additional thoughts and comments:

    TV Numbers
    • Why have them when they are already on the helmet? Thumbs up from me for removing the TV numbers from the shoulders and sleeves.
    • While nostalgic for the numbers on the sleeves, they never looked right on certain players whenever the fabric got bunched up.
    • Never liked the upside-down bolt on the 2007-2019. Oversizing the bolts left little space on shoulders and sleeves. Removing them visually simplifies the design. This is a case of addition through subtraction.
    Color Rush
    • In general, I'm not a fan of mono-colored uniforms, but the Navy and Royal Blue Color Rush uniforms are not bad and much better than other teams offerings.
    • I wouldn't mind seeing matching yellow and white pants with the royal blue and navy tops.
    Helmets
    • Numbers on the sides of the helmets give the Chargers a unique look among other teams, much like the Steelers logo on just one side of the helmet.
    Shoulder/Pants Lightning Bolts and Number Font
    • Very nice. One nitpick would be the size of the white/yellow stroke. I'd make this a little thicker so that it distinguishes the bolt and numbers better against the jersey color.
    No Chargers Wordmark on Jersey Front
    • Again, addition by subtraction. One look at these uniforms, and you should know what team this is (2015-2019 Browns, I'm talking to you).
    • Plus, I can imagine that the Chargers are still in San Diego, since it doesn't say LAC like the new Falcons uniforms.
    Yellow Pants
    • Very happy that there are Sunshine Gold pants to go alongside the white ones. I never got to see these in-person, but I always liked the look of the 1961-1964 Chargers.
    I was afraid they were going to use that LA with the lightning bolt as a word mark, but I'm glad they thought that through.

      I really like them. I have never been a big fan of the "color rush" shit, but even that one is okay.

          I guess I will have to see the whole team lining up during a game to really appreciate if these unis stand out.
