Twitter immediately ripped the new Los Angeles Chargers logo to shreds

The Chargers made their relocation to Los Angeles official on Thursday morning, and the team immediately unveiled a new logo as a result.

The club's official Twitter account was first to post the new artwork, which looks somewhat like a modernized ripoff of the Dodgers 'LA' logo. Not surprisingly, it didn't take long for the internet to rip it to shreds.

Here are some of the best jabs at the unspectacular new emblem.

Stupid. Chargers fan in SD are loyal to the core, even taking it up with Raiders fans and no matter how many teams you stick in L.A....L.A will always be Raiders nation. The Rams are just cosmetic and so will the Chargers.

I saw it on Twitter and it will be VERY interesting to see if the Los Angeles Dodgers organization might consider filing a copyright infringement lawsuit....

This is just sad. I went to college down in San Diego when the Chargers used to hold training camp at UCSD. A real shame nothing could be done to build a new stadium in San Diego - but they'll leave behind some great memories of Dan Fouts, Kellen Winslow, John Jefferson, Charlie Joiner, Leslie O'Neal, Junior Seau, LaDanian Tomlinson. And of course, Philip Rivers - a great QB who (like Fouts) will likely never see a Super Bowl.

Alright. I put up with a whole lot of stuff in Los Angeles, but no way I’m staying if the Chargers are moving back up here. I’m moving to Northern California. (and no, I won’t stop calling the Rams the ‘Rams of Anaheim’ until they start winning games again.)

Probably cost them $500,000 for it.

Spanos is paying a $650 MM relocation fee to the NFL to drive two hours up I-5/405 to eventually Inglewood. He could not build his own stadium in San Diego for that money?

The London Olympics logo was even worse. So there’s that.

Yep, assuming the Raiders move to Las Vegas a lot of LA folks will make the trip to go see them.

And they left San Diego because the city wouldn’t build them a new $500 million stadium.

Can someone tell me WHY they want to move?

Chargers fans seem loyal, SD is a wealthy city, certainly big enough to support the NFL. They also have history that goes back to the original AFC days

People want to be loyal to things, and too much admission through action that the NFL is merely all about money won’t help the NFL in the long-run.

Because folks in San Diego aren’t willing to take it in the shorts for rich billionaires. Good for them.

They might be loyal, but there aren’t enough of them to fill the stadium, or more importantly get a new stadium built and fill THAT.

I remember going to the games in the 80’s. Fun times.
Hated the Raiders. So, yeah, not really impressed.
