Bleacher Report recently graded every new NFL uniform, and they gave the Los Angeles Chargers alternates an A-, and that feels right.
Los Angeles delivered two fully formed concepts instead of one half-hearted throwback: a navy Super Charger that nods to San Diego with vintage bolts and a clean silhouette, and an all-gold Charger Power set that goes loud and unapologetic.

Both looks work because the team committed to each idea from the helmet to the pant stripe. The Los Angeles Chargers are recognized across the NFL as having some of the best uniforms, and these two certainly add to an already impressive wardrobe
The Navy Super Charger is a lesson in restraint. It modernizes a classic, pairs with a streamlined helmet, and reads great on TV. The gold Charger Power is the opposite play — high contrast, attention-seeking, and built to provoke emotion.

The Los Angeles Chargers did the hard thing and matched helmets correctly, even adding powder-blue pants to expand visual options rather than recycling the same combo every week.
A notable roster change in the wardrobe: the team quietly removed the royal blue alternate from rotation. That used to be the safe fallback, but LA chose contrast over continuity, swapping a familiar look for two distinct identities.
With the league now allowing four alternate appearances, that decision gives the franchise genuine wardrobe flexibility and a stronger marketing story to sell.
This package lands as designed by contrast, not chaos. Traditionalists will hate the gold, and some fans will miss the royal, but both attitudes are part of the point; risk creates conversation and helps sell jerseys. The real win is execution: clean helmets, coherent color stories, and an aesthetic that leads the NFL in style.
