The Los Angeles Chargers recently unveiled two alternate uniforms for the 2025 season, sparking widespread reactions across the NFL fanbase. While the all-gold “Charger Power” set evoked mixed opinions, the navy “Super Chargers” uniform received overwhelming praise, with many fans calling it the best design in the league.
The navy alternate pays homage to the team’s iconic looks from the 1990s and early 2000s, a period remembered fondly by fans. Featuring a streamlined bolt and matching navy helmet with a bold face mask, the design modernizes a classic while retaining its nostalgic charm. This uniform will debut in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings at SoFi Stadium.

In contrast, the gold uniform has drawn comparisons to past color rush designs that some fans and analysts criticized for resembling mustard. Despite the critiques, it holds historical significance, honoring the Air Coryell era when the team revolutionized passing offenses. The “Charger Power” slogan, stitched in powder blue on the neckline, further ties the design to the team’s storied legacy.
Social media reactions to the navy set have been overwhelmingly positive, with fans praising its sleek, unified aesthetic. Many have pointed out its balance of tradition and modernity, making it a standout among alternate uniforms. The addition of navy helmets, a first for the team since their uniform overhaul, adds a bold touch.
