The Chargers hired head coach [[Don Coryell]] in 1978, who would remain coaching the team until 1986. Coryell developed an offensive scheme and philosophy known as [[Air Coryell]], also known as the "Coryell offense" or the "vertical offense". With [[Dan Fouts]] as quarterback, the San Diego Chargers' offense was among the greatest and most exciting passing offenses in [[National Football League|NFL]] history,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.profootballhof.com/news/air-coryell1/ |title=Pro Football Hall of Fame - "Air Coryell" |access-date=January 17, 2018 |archive-date=January 18, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180118064725/http://www.profootballhof.com/news/air-coryell1/ |url-status=live }}</ref> setting league and individual offensive records.

They also led the league in total yards in offense 1978–83 and 1985. Under the tutelage of Coryell, [[Dan Fouts]], wide receiver [[Charlie Joiner]], and tight end [[Kellen Winslow]] blossomed on the field and would all be inducted into the [[Pro Football Hall of Fame]]. The Chargers earned four consecutive playoff appearances (1979–82) during the Air Coryell era, including three AFC West division championships (1979–81). However, they came short of making it to the Super Bowl, including two straight losses in the AFC Championship game in 1980 and [[Freezer Bowl|1981]].
Despite making the playoffs again during the [[National Football League Players Association#1982 strike|strike-shortened]] [[1982 NFL season|1982 season]], the Chargers missed the playoffs every season from {{nfly|1983}} to {{nfly|1991}}.

In the [[1994 San Diego Chargers season|1994 season]], the Chargers made their first and, so far, only [[Super Bowl]] appearance, against the [[1994 San Francisco 49ers season|49ers]] in [[Super Bowl XXIX]]. They got to the Super Bowl by winning their first six regular season games, the only NFL team to do so in 1994, and finished the season 11–5. Quarterback [[Stan Humphries]] and wide receiver [[Tony Martin (American football)|Tony Martin]] combined on a 99-yard touchdown completion to tie an NFL record during a defeat of the [[1994 Seattle Seahawks season|Seattle Seahawks]], 27–10.

The Chargers coveted [[Eli Manning]] and wanted to select him with their first round pick, which was also the first overall pick of the draft. However, after Manning indicated before the draft that he would not sign with the San Diego Chargers, they were forced to adjust their plans. [[Philip Rivers]] was their first alternative to Manning because the Chargers head coach at the time, [[Marty Schottenheimer]], had coached Rivers at the [[Senior Bowl]] and he liked what he saw from Rivers. The Chargers agreed to a trade on draft day with the [[New York Giants]]. Manning was selected by the San Diego Chargers then later in the draft traded for Rivers, selected with the fourth pick by the Giants. The Chargers also received draft picks from the Giants that were used to select future Pro Bowlers [[Shawne Merriman]] and [[Nate Kaeding]]. Rivers was one of 17 quarterbacks taken in the 2004 NFL Draft along with [[Ben Roethlisberger]], Eli Manning, and Matt Schaub. Rivers, Roethlisberger, Schaub and Manning have been voted to the Pro Bowl since becoming starters; none had produced a season with a losing record until Schaub in 2010, but Roethlisberger and Manning both have won two Super Bowls. They have been compared favorably to the [[Quarterback class of 1983]], which included Hall of Fame quarterbacks [[John Elway]] (1st pick), [[Jim Kelly]] (14th), and [[Dan Marino]] (27th).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/don_banks/08/28/qbs/index.html|title=Best quarterback class ever?

Marty Schottenheimer was named NFL Coach of the Year for the 2004 NFL season. He led the team to a playoff appearance, his 12th as a head coach. However, it resulted in a disappointing loss to the underdog [[New York Jets]] in overtime in [[2004–05 NFL playoffs|2005]].
During the [[2005 NFL Draft]], the Chargers tried to get some key rookies that would help carry the momentum from their mostly successful 2004–2005 run. They used their first pick on LB [[Shawne Merriman|Shawne "Lights Out" Merriman]] from the University of Maryland. Then, they used their next pick on DT [[Luis Castillo (football player)|Luis Castillo]] from Northwestern University. Their other choices were WR [[Vincent Jackson]] from Northern Colorado, RB [[Darren Sproles]] from Kansas State, OT [[Wesley Britt]] from University of Alabama, OT [[Wes Sims (American football)|Wes Sims]] from Oklahoma University, and Center [[Scott Mruczkowski]] from Bowling Green State.
The Chargers got off to a rough start in their 2005 campaign, losing a close one to the [[Dallas Cowboys]] in their Week 1 home opener (28–24) and then they lost on the road to their AFC West rival, the [[Denver Broncos]] (20–17). It was not until a Week 3 home game on Sunday night that they got their first win of the season, when Manning and the New York Giants got "shocked to the system" as [[LaDainian Tomlinson]] had one of the greatest games of his career. He got 220 total yards, had 3 rushing touchdowns, and threw for a touchdown as he helped the Chargers win 45–23.
A week later, they were able to build off their win by not only beating the two-time defending champion [[New England Patriots]] 41–17, but also ending the Pats' 21-game winning streak at home. In their Week 5 Monday Night home game against the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]], the Chargers wore their throwback uniforms during this season (they had also worn them during the 1994 season). The Steelers held on to win with a 40-yard field goal by [[Jeff Reed (football player)|Jeff Reed]] (24–22). The Chargers rebounded on the road against their division rival [[Oakland Raiders]] (27–14). In their Week 7 road trip to Philadelphia, they hoped to build off their win against the Eagles. Late in the game, with the Chargers leading 17–13, the Chargers tried to go for a field goal to put their lead well out of reach, but it got blocked and Eagles DB [[Matt Ware]] returned it 65 yards for the game-winning touchdown and the Chargers fourth loss of the season.
After going 3–4, the Chargers turned things around as they began a five-game winning streak. They won at home against division rival [[Kansas City Chiefs]] (28–20) and on the road against the New York Jets (31–26). Coming off their Week 10 bye, they went home and wore their throwback uniforms again. This time, it was a dominating performance as the Chargers manhandled the [[Buffalo Bills]], 48–10. Then, they went on the road and won a close match against the [[Washington Redskins]] (23–17) in overtime and then they swept the Oakland Raiders at home by a score of 34–10.
The Chargers were 8–5, coming off a 23–21 loss to the [[Miami Dolphins]]. On December 18, the Chargers beat the undefeated [[Indianapolis Colts]] 26–17, snapping a 13–0 winning streak. However, despite a record of 9–6, they were officially eliminated from AFC playoff contention in 2005 after a 20–7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs the following Saturday. The Chargers lost their final game of the season by a score of 23–7 to the AFC West champion Denver Broncos to finish with a record of 9–7.[[File:Philip_Rivers_2014.JPG|right|upright|thumbnail|[[Philip Rivers]] started every game at quarterback from [[2006 San Diego Chargers season|2006]] to [[2019 Los Angeles Chargers season|2019]].]]
The Chargers delivered an impressive performance in [[2006 San Diego Chargers season|2006]], losing only to the Ravens and Chiefs; they finished 14–2 which secured them the #1 AFC seed in the playoffs. However, they lost 24–21 to the [[New England Patriots]] in the divisional round.
==== Norv Turner years (2007–2012) ====
Following the 2006 season, they replaced Schottenheimer with new head coach [[Norv Turner]]. In [[2007 San Diego Chargers season|2007]], they went 11–5, beating the [[Tennessee Titans]] and the defending champion [[Indianapolis Colts]] to reach the AFC title game. However, they fell to the Patriots for the second year in a row. In [[2008 San Diego Chargers season|2008]], the Chargers dropped to 8–8, but as the [[AFC West]] was unusually weak that year, they still managed to win the division title. Defeating the Colts in the wild card round, they lost to the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] in the divisional round.
San Diego began the [[2009 San Diego Chargers season|2009 season]] 2–3. After losing to the Broncos on Monday night, they began an unbroken winning streak for the rest of the season, which included defeating the entire [[NFC East]]. In Week 11, they avenged their earlier loss against the Broncos by inflicting a 32–3 rout on them. The next game saw them beat a 1–11 [[Cleveland Browns]] squad 30–23, in which [[LaDainian Tomlinson]] broke Hall of Famer [[Jim Brown]]'s rushing record and was congratulated by him afterwards. The Chargers secured another division title, the #2 AFC seed, and looked to be a near shoo-in for the [[Super Bowl]]. However, the team's postseason futility continued. Hosting the [[New York Jets]] on January 17, 2010, they endured an upset defeat, where, despite an early lead, were unable to overcome the strong Jets' defense. Kicker [[Nate Kaeding]] also missed three field goal and PAT attempts, which resulted in the Chargers losing 17–14.
The [[2010 San Diego Chargers season|2010 season]] was the 1st season without [[LaDainian Tomlinson]] since 2000 (Tomlinson was let go by management due to an oversized contract relative to production and other issues; he went on to lead the [[New York Jets|Jets]] in rushing with 914 yards & tied for 3rd in receptions with 52). The 2010 campaign started off slowly again, this time 2–5 (including losses to some of the worst teams in football at the time – the [[2010 Kansas City Chiefs season|Kansas City Chiefs]], the [[2010 Oakland Raiders season|Oakland Raiders]], the [[2010 Seattle Seahawks season|Seattle Seahawks]] and the [[2010 St. Louis Rams season|St. Louis Rams]]). The losses were due to turnovers & mental mistakes by young players on special teams allowing blocked punts & kick/punt return touchdowns. The loss to [[2010 Oakland Raiders season|Oakland]] ended their 13-game winning streak against the [[Oakland Raiders|Raiders]] since their last loss on September 28, 2003.<ref>[http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/schedule/_/name/sd/year/2003 San Diego Chargers 2003 schedule] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100810142725/http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/schedule/_/name/sd/year/2003 |date=August 10, 2010 }} espn.com Accessed January 17, 2011.</ref> The Chargers then went on another second half run with four straight wins but this time instead of keeping the streak going the entire second half they had a big let down losing at home to the Raiders again, this time 28–13 (ending their shared NFL record, with the Dolphins, of 18 straight wins in December).<ref>[http://espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=301205024 Playoff box score] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110226052540/http://espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=301205024 |date=February 26, 2011 }} espn.com Accessed January 17, 2011.</ref> Despite the loss, they still had a chance to win their 5th straight AFC West title, tying the Raiders, but they had another bad loss at the [[2010 Cincinnati Bengals season|Bengals]] 34–20 ending their chances.

With the special teams failure of the 2010 season campaign, the Chargers hoped to rebound with a strong performance to start the season, and a way to overcome slow starts.
The Chargers started off the [[2011 San Diego Chargers season|2011 season]] with a 4–1 campaign, with their only loss to the [[New England Patriots]]. From that point on, however, the Chargers began a six-game skid with losses to the [[New York Jets|Jets]], [[Kansas City Chiefs|Chiefs]], [[Green Bay Packers|Packers]], [[Oakland Raiders|Raiders]], [[Chicago Bears|Bears]], and [[Denver Broncos|Broncos]], with the first four by only a score and against Denver in overtime. Injuries to both the offensive and the defensive line hit the Chargers hard. But finally on December 5, 2011, the Chargers got their first win in over a month against the [[Jacksonville Jaguars]], beating the also-struggling team.
The Chargers then began a three-game winning streak most notably beating the Ravens by more than any team has beat them that season.
However, the Chargers were beaten, 38–10, by the [[Detroit Lions]] to drop their record to 7–8 and eliminate the possibility of being in the playoffs. After a 38–26 victory over the Raiders in week 17, the Chargers finished at 8–8 and in a numerical tie for first place in the AFC West along with Oakland and Denver. However, the Chargers were beaten out by Denver for the Division Title via tie-breaker. After missing the playoffs for the third straight season in [[2012 San Diego Chargers season|2012]], the Chargers fired general manager Smith and head coach Turner.<ref>{{cite news|title=Norv Turner, A.J.

==== Mike McCoy years (2013–2016) ====
On January 9, 2013, the Chargers announced that [[Tom Telesco]], former Vice President of Football Operations with the [[Indianapolis Colts]], would take over as [[General manager (American football)|General Manager]] following the firing of [[A. J. Smith]]. Additionally, the organization promoted [[John Spanos]] to President of Football Operations. On January 15, 2013, Broncos [[offensive coordinator]], [[Mike McCoy (American football coach)|Mike McCoy]], was hired as the new [[head coach]] and [[Ken Whisenhunt]] as offensive coordinator.<ref>{{cite news|title=Chargers hire Mike McCoy|url=http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8845746/mike-mccoy-takes-san-diego-chargers-head-coach-job|publisher=ESPN|date=January 16, 2013|access-date=January 30, 2016|archive-date=October 5, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005014125/http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8845746/mike-mccoy-takes-san-diego-chargers-head-coach-job|url-status=live}}</ref>
The Chargers finished the 2013 season 9–7 and made the [[NFL playoffs|playoffs]] for the first time since [[2009 San Diego Chargers season|2009]]. They entered the playoffs as the sixth seed. On January 5, 2014, the Chargers defeated the [[2013 Cincinnati Bengals season|Cincinnati Bengals]] at [[Paul Brown Stadium]] (27–10) to advance to the AFC Divisional Playoff Round. The Chargers then lost to the [[2013 Denver Broncos season|Denver Broncos]] at [[Sports Authority Field at Mile High]] the following Sunday, January 12, 2014 (24–17).
After starting the season strongly, including a five-win run in September and October, the Chargers were beset by a string of injuries to key players, and eventually finished the season at 9–7. In contrast to 2013, the record was not enough to make the playoffs. The Chargers began the season 5–1, winning five straight after losing their season opener. It was followed by a three-game losing streak, and they finished 4–4 in the second half. They won just two of their final five games, coming back from double-digit fourth quarter deficits twice to remain in playoff contention. They lost the final game of the season when a win would have secured a playoff berth. In three of their last four games, and five of their last eight, the Chargers did not score more than one touchdown. Compared to 2013, the offense dropped in points (from 12th in the league to 17th), yards (5th to 18th), first downs (3rd to 15th), net yards per pass (2nd to 8th), rushing yards (13th to 30) and yards per rush (21st to 31st). It was the second time in three years the team finished second-to-last in yards per carry. San Diego was just 2–4 against teams in their division in the AFC West, and were swept by both the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs. It was their worst intradivision record since they were 1–5 in 2003. The Chargers were only 3–6 against teams with winning records. They matched their 9–7 record from 2013, but missed the playoffs for the fourth time in five seasons.
During the season, the Chargers, the [[St. Louis Rams]], and the [[Oakland Raiders]] all intimated they might apply to move to Los Angeles at the end of the season. The Chargers announced in December 2014 that they would not be seeking to move for the 2015 season, followed by an announcement from the NFL that no team would move to L.A. until the 2016 season at the earliest.<ref>{{cite news|last=Florio|first=Mike|title=2016 becomes the target for an L.A. move|url=http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/12/20/2016-becomes-the-target-for-an-l-a-move/|work=ProFootballTalk|date=December 20, 2014|access-date=January 15, 2016|archive-date=January 24, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160124122835/http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/12/20/2016-becomes-the-target-for-an-l-a-move/|url-status=live}}</ref>
Controversy filled the 2015 off-season, as attorney and team spokesperson Mark Fabiani continually bashed the local San Diego city government's efforts to negotiate a replacement for Qualcomm Stadium. When [[History of the St. Louis Rams|St. Louis Rams]] owner [[Stan Kroenke]] announced in January 2015 his intention to build a new stadium in [[Inglewood, California|Inglewood]], the Chargers felt pressured to announce their own Los Angeles plan to preserve what they claimed was "25 percent of their fan base" in the affluent Los Angeles and Orange County areas. In February 2015, the team announced a stadium proposal in [[Carson, California|Carson]], in partnership with the [[History of the Oakland Raiders|Oakland Raiders]], their AFC West divisional [[Chargers–Raiders rivalry|rivals]].<ref name="CarsonAnnounce">{{cite news|last=Farmer|first=Sam|title=Chargers, Raiders will jointly pursue an NFL stadium in Carson|url=http://www.latimes.com/sports/nfl/la-sp-nfl-stadium-20150220-story.html|work=Los Angeles Times|date=February 20, 2015|access-date=January 15, 2016|archive-date=January 15, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160115064322/http://www.latimes.com/sports/nfl/la-sp-nfl-stadium-20150220-story.html|url-status=live}}</ref> In August 2015, San Diego city officials announced their new plan for a new $1.1 billion Chargers stadium at the [[Mission Valley, San Diego|Mission Valley]] site of the existing stadium, which included a $350 million contribution of public funds without raising taxes, but Chargers officials scoffed at the proposal and refused to negotiate with the city on any proposal that was not located at the team's preferred downtown location.<ref>{{cite news|last=Perry|first=Tony|title=San Diego officials say $1.1-billion stadium plan for Chargers is 'on track'|url=https://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-san-diego-stadium-chargers-20150810-story.html|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=August 10, 2015|access-date=September 26, 2021}}</ref>
The 2015 season started off with a win against the [[Detroit Lions]] at home. The Chargers lost to the [[Cincinnati Bengals]] and [[Minnesota Vikings]] on the road before defeating the [[Cleveland Browns]] on a last second field goal. Following their 2–2 start, the Chargers lost their next six games, dropping to 2–8. In their six straight losses, they lost heartbreakers to the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]], [[Green Bay Packers]], [[Baltimore Ravens]] and the [[Chicago Bears]], as well as sound defeats by both, division rivals, the [[History of the Oakland Raiders|Oakland Raiders]] and the [[Kansas City Chiefs]]. They finally broke their losing streak by defeating the [[Jacksonville Jaguars]] on the road, bringing their record to 3–8, in last place in the [[AFC West]] and 3rd worst in the [[American Football Conference]] (one game ahead of both the Browns and the [[Tennessee Titans]]). They are also tied for the third worst record in the [[National Football League]]. They then proceeded to beat the Miami Dolphins in Week 14 winning 30–14. They finished the season 4–12.
The day following the conclusion of the {{nfly|2015}} regular season, the Chargers, [[Los Angeles Rams|Rams]], and Raiders all filed to move to Los Angeles.<ref>{{cite web|last=Bien|first=Louis|title=Rams, Raiders and Chargers file for relocation to Los Angeles|url=https://www.sbnation.com/2016/1/4/10712988/los-angeles-relocation-chargers-raiders-rams|publisher=[[SB Nation]]|date=January 4, 2016|access-date=January 13, 2016|archive-date=January 7, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160107221846/http://www.sbnation.com/2016/1/4/10712988/los-angeles-relocation-chargers-raiders-rams|url-status=live}}</ref> On January 12, 2016, the NFL owners voted 30–2 to allow the Rams to return to Los Angeles and approved the Inglewood stadium project over the Carson project.

Except for color changes along the way, the Chargers have essentially used the logo of an arc-shaped lightning bolt since the team debuted in 1960. During its period in the AFL, the club also used a shield logo that featured a horsehead, a lightning bolt, and the word "Chargers". The team brought the logo back for on-field design in the 2018 season.
From 1960 to 1973, the colors consisted of various shades of Electric blue ("powder" blue, but technically called Collegiate blue)<ref name = "Uniform">{{citation|title=Evolution of the Chargers Uniform|url=https://www.chargers.com/photos/evolution-of-the-chargers-uniform#0b8eada0-fc0e-4373-9cdc-7ff605eebf83|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=Chargers.com|access-date=December 17, 2020|archive-date=January 18, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210118234912/https://www.chargers.com/photos/evolution-of-the-chargers-uniform#0b8eada0-fc0e-4373-9cdc-7ff605eebf83|url-status=live}}</ref> or white jerseys, both with gold lightning bolts on the shoulders. The helmets were white and had both the arc-shaped lightning bolt logo, in gold or navy depending on the year, and the player's number. At first, the team wore white pants before switching to gold in 1966. In 1973, the numerals on the blue jerseys changed from white to gold.<ref name = Uniform />
In [[1974 San Diego Chargers season|1974]], the sky blue was changed to dark royal blue. The helmet was also changed to dark blue and the players' numbers were removed. Additionally, the face masks became yellow, thus making them one of the first teams in the NFL (with the Kansas City Chiefs) to use a facemask color other than the then-predominant grey. From [[1978 San Diego Chargers season|1978]] through [[1983 San Diego Chargers season|1983]], the Chargers wore their white jerseys at home, coinciding with the hiring of coach Don Coryell – when [[Joe Gibbs]], a Coryell assistant in 1979–80, became head coach of the [[Washington Redskins]] in 1981, he did the same, and white at home became a Redskins staple through 2007 – but Coryell switched the Chargers to their blue jerseys at home starting in [[1984 San Diego Chargers season|1984]]. With the exception of the [[1991 San Diego Chargers season|1991 season]] and other sporadic home games since, San Diego wears its blue jerseys at home.<ref name = Uniform />
In [[1985 San Diego Chargers season|1985]], the Chargers started using navy blue jerseys and returned to wearing white pants. The team's uniform design was next revamped in 1988. It featured an even darker shade of navy blue. The lightning bolts on the jerseys and helmets were white, with navy interior trim and gold outlining; the facemasks became navy blue. In [[1990 San Diego Chargers season|1990]], the team started to wear navy pants with their white jerseys. From [[1988 San Diego Chargers season|1988]] to [[1991 San Diego Chargers season|1991]], the team displayed stripes down the pants rather than lightning bolts. The Chargers went with all-white combinations in [[1997 San Diego Chargers season|1997]] and [[2001 San Diego Chargers season|2001]], only to have the blue pants make a comeback. On October 27, 2003, the Chargers wore their navy pants with their navy jersey for a ''Monday Night Football'' game versus the [[Miami Dolphins]] that was played at [[Sun Devil Stadium]], then the home of the [[Arizona Cardinals]], due to wildfires in southern California. This was the only game in which the Chargers had worn the all-dark combination until the uniform change in 2020.{{Citation needed|date=July 2007}}|
From the late 1980s to 2000, the Chargers wore white at home during some preseason games and dark for regular season games. In [[2001 San Diego Chargers season|2001]], the Chargers started wearing their dark uniforms for preseason games and white uniforms in September home games due to the heat before switching back to dark in October.
In March 2007, the Chargers unveiled their first uniform redesign since 1988, on the team's official website. The team formally unveiled this new uniform set, which mixes old and new styles, in a private team-only event. Navy blue remains the primary color on the home jersey, but the familiar lightning bolt was reverted to gold, and now has navy outlining and powder blue interior trim. The latter color is a nod to the 1960s uniforms. The redesigned lightning bolt was moved to the sides of the shoulders from the top, and includes a new numbering font and word mark in white, with gold outlining and powder blue interior trim. The pants also have a redesigned lightning bolt in gold, with powder blue trim on a navy stripe. Additionally, the team pays tribute to other uniform features from their history by wearing a metallic white helmet, with a navy face mask, the newly revamped bolt in gold with navy and powder blue trim, and white pants. The road white jerseys with navy pants, as well as the alternate powder blue jerseys with white pants, were also redesigned with the new scheme.<ref>{{cite news|title=Chargers Unveil New Uniforms|url=http://www.chargers.com/news/2007/03/14/chargers-unveil-new-uniforms|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=Chargers.com|date=March 14, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160811143337/https://www.chargers.com/news/2007/03/14/chargers-unveil-new-uniforms|archive-date=August 11, 2016|access-date=June 10, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>
From [[2002 San Diego Chargers season|2002]] to [[2006 San Diego Chargers season|2006]], the Chargers used the early-1960s powder blue uniforms as alternate jerseys, which many football fans (both of the Chargers and of other teams) clamored for the team to bring back full-time.
Since [[2007 San Diego Chargers season|2007]], the Chargers have worn the alternate powder blue jerseys twice per season. The alternate powder blue jerseys have also been worn in a playoff game against the [[Indianapolis Colts]] [[2008–09 NFL playoffs|in 2008]].
In [[2009 San Diego Chargers season|2009]], in honor of their 50th anniversary as one of the eight original [[American Football League|AFL]] teams, the Chargers wore their 1963 throwback uniforms for three games.
For the [[2013 San Diego Chargers season|2013 season]], the Chargers made minor tweaks to their current uniforms.

==Rivalries==
=== Las Vegas Raiders ===
{{Main|Chargers–Raiders rivalry}}
The Chargers–Raiders rivalry dates to the 1963 season, when the Raiders defeated the heavily favored Chargers twice, both come-from-behind fourth quarter victories. One of the most memorable games between these teams was the [[Holy Roller (American football)|"Holy Roller" game]] in 1978, in which the Raiders intentionally fumbled in order to score a touchdown. This somewhat controversial play resulted in a rule change the following season. On November 22, 1982, the Raiders hosted their first Monday Night football game in Los Angeles against the Chargers. The Chargers led the game in the 1st half 24–0 until the Raiders scored 28 unanswered points in the second half to win 28–24. On January 10, 2022, the Raiders defeated the Chargers in overtime, 35-32. The winning field goal was unnecessary for the Raiders' playoff chances, and if the game had ended in a tie, both teams would have made the playoffs. With the field goal, the Chargers were eliminated. The Raiders lead the series 67–57–2 as of the end of the 2022 season, including having won the only playoff game between the two teams, the [[1980–81 NFL playoffs|1980 AFC Championship game]].<ref name="Rivalry Watch">{{cite web|url=http://rivalrywatch.com/Home/Rivalry/16|title=Oakland Raiders – San Diego Chargers rivalry|work=[[rivalrywatch.com]]|date=November 17, 2014}}</ref>
=== Los Angeles Rams ===
{{main|Battle of Los Angeles (NFL)}}
Initially, the Los Angeles Raiders and [[Los Angeles Rams|Rams]] were considered to be competing in the "Battle of Los Angeles" during the Raiders' tenure in Los Angeles from 1982–94.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kron4.com/nfl/raiders/raiders-and-rams-ready-to-renew-old-southern-california-rivalry/ |title=Raiders and Rams ready to renew old Southern California rivalry |first=Ron |last=Futrell |date=August 20, 2021 |website=[[KRON-TV]]}}</ref> However, the rivalry ended as the Rams moved to [[St. Louis Rams|St. Louis]] and the Raiders returned to Oakland in the mid–1990s. The Raiders unsuccessfully attempted to move back to Los Angeles in 2015 following a failed joint stadium project with the then-San Diego Chargers. The intercity rivalry was revived only with the Chargers' move from San Diego in 2017, following the Rams' return to Los Angeles in 2016. Hostility erupted between the two clubs during a 2017 joint scrimmage at the Rams' training camp in Irvine, California. Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman and Chargers receiver Keenan Allen initiated an altercation and multiple players rushed into the skirmish, creating an uproar from the crowd.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2726655-rams-chargers-fight-with-multiple-players-breaks-out-during-training-camp |title=Rams, Chargers Fight with Multiple Players Breaks Out During Training Camp |first=Tyler |last=Conway |date=August 9, 2017 |website=[[Bleacher Report]]}}</ref> Following the hiring of coach Sean McVay in 2017, the Rams managed to win back-to-back division titles, including an appearance in Super Bowl LIII during McVay's second season as head coach. The Chargers experienced their own playoff success by boasting a 12–4 record in 2018 and making an appearance in the 2018 AFC divisional round but lost to the New England Patriots. The Rams won the first regular season matchup in Los Angeles between the two teams in Week 3 of the 2018 season. The Chargers would win the next meeting in Week 17 of the 2022 season, the first matchup between the two teams at their new stadium.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.bardown.com/a-massive-brawl-broke-out-in-the-most-ridiculous-way-during-rams-chargers-1.1682163 |title=A massive brawl broke out in the most ridiculous way during Rams/Chargers |website=BarDown|date=August 15, 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.chargers.com/video/melvin-gordon-we-re-building-a-rivalry-with-the-rams-150851 |title=Melvin Gordon: 'We're Building a Rivalry With the Rams' |website=Los Angeles Chargers}}</ref>

As of 2010, the Chargers' policy was to have the [[Chargers Hall of Fame]] committee evaluate candidates for a player's number to retire after the player has retired from the league after five years, Seau was the only exception to this policy. The committee consists of Chargers Executive Vice President [[Alex Spanos]], Chargers public relations director Bill Johnston, [[San Diego Hall of Champions]] founder [[Bob Breitbard]], and the presidents of the San Diego Sports Commission and the Chargers Backers Fan Club. There are few recognized guidelines in sports regarding retiring numbers, and the NFL has no specific league policy.

The Chargers' flagship radio station is KYSR-FM [[KYSR-FM|Alt 98.7]] in Los Angeles, with daily coverage and special programming on KLAC-[[KLAC|AM 570 LA Sports]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://am570lasports.iheart.com/articles/sports-news-498513/chargers-find-broadcast-home-at-iheartmedialas-15777187/#ixzz4fNMSrp4b|title=Chargers find broadcast home at iHeartMedia-LA's KFI-AM 640 – AM 570 LA Sports|access-date=April 26, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170427101733/http://am570lasports.iheart.com/articles/sports-news-498513/chargers-find-broadcast-home-at-iheartmedialas-15777187/#ixzz4fNMSrp4b|archive-date=April 27, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> Play-by-play voice [[Matt "Money" Smith]] & [[NFL Network]] analyst [[Daniel Jeremiah]] comprise the broadcast team. KYSR-FM's iHeartMedia Los Angeles sister-station [[KFI|KFI AM 640]] served as the previous flagship station for the team since the Chargers’ return to Los Angeles from 2017 to 2019. Past Chargers radio broadcasters have included [[Josh Lewin]], [[Ralph Lawler]], [[Stu Nahan]], [[Tom Kelly (sportscaster)|Tom Kelly]], [[Lee Hamilton (sports)|Lee "Hacksaw" Hamilton]], [[Dan Rowe (broadcaster)|Dan Rowe]], [[Ted Leitner]], and [[Hank Bauer (football player)|Hank Bauer]]. Bauer served seventeen seasons (1998–2014) as the radio color analyst; however, the Chargers and then-flagship [[KIOZ]] decided not to renew his contract,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://espn.go.com/blog/san-diego-chargers/post/_/id/11585/hank-bauer-out-as-analyst-for-chargers-radio-broadcast|title=Hank Bauer out as analyst for Chargers' radio broadcasts|date=June 21, 2015|access-date=September 15, 2016|archive-date=April 9, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160409221004/http://espn.go.com/blog/san-diego-chargers/post/_/id/11585/hank-bauer-out-as-analyst-for-chargers-radio-broadcast|url-status=live}}</ref> and was replaced by Conway starting with the 2015 season. As of 2014, the Chargers also stream their radio broadcasts on their official mobile application (through [[iOS]] and [[Android (operating system)|Android]] devices) as well as on their website.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chargers.com/fans/apps|title=Official Chargers Mobile Apps|date=September 24, 2014|access-date=September 15, 2016|archive-date=September 1, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160901022917/http://www.chargers.com/fans/apps|url-status=live}}</ref>
As of the 2020 season, Chargers preseason games will be broadcast by [[KCBS-TV]]; likewise, in the former San Diego market, [[KFMB-TV|KFMB]] is the local affiliate. As per the NFL's television deals, KCBS also broadcasts [[NFL on CBS|CBS coverage]] of most Chargers regular season games against AFC teams.<ref>{{cite news|author=Chargers Communications|title=Los Angeles Chargers and CBS 2 Announce Multi-Year Broadcast & Media Partnership|url=https://www.chargers.com/news/los-angeles-chargers-and-cbs-2-announce-multi-year-broadcast-media-partnership|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=Chargers.com|date=February 6, 2020|access-date=June 23, 2020|archive-date=April 27, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200427083545/https://www.chargers.com/news/los-angeles-chargers-and-cbs-2-announce-multi-year-broadcast-media-partnership|url-status=live}}</ref>
[[Dennis Packer]], the public address announcer of all USC football games at the [[Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum]], serves as the public address announcer of all Chargers home games at [[SoFi Stadium]]. Packer replaced legendary P.A. announcer Bruce Binkowski, who went on to become the executive director of the Holiday and Poinsettia Bowl games, which were played at their former home, now-defunct [[SDCCU Stadium]]. The Holiday Bowl's being played in 2020 & 2021 at [[Dignity Health Sports Park]] and will return to [[Snapdragon Stadium]] in 2022. Poinsettia Bowl went defunct in 2016.
With the Chargers' return to Los Angeles in 2017, the team became a beneficiary of league scheduling policies. Both the Chargers and the [[Los Angeles Rams]] share the Los Angeles market, which is on the West Coast of the United States. This means that the Chargers cannot play home games, road division games against the [[Denver Broncos]] or [[Las Vegas Raiders]], or interconference road games against the [[NFC West]] (in seasons that the [[AFC West]] and NFC West meet in interconference play) in the early 10:00 a.m. [[Pacific Time Zone|Pacific time]] slot. In addition, they cannot play interconference home games at the same time or network as the Rams. As a result, both teams generally will have more limited scheduling options, and will also benefit by receiving more prime-time games than usual ([[National Football League on television#Chargers and Rams|click here]] for further information). Thus, regardless of the previous season's record, the Chargers will receive a disproportionate number of ''[[NBC Sunday Night Football|Sunday Night]]'', ''[[Monday Night Football|Monday Night]]'' and/or ''[[Thursday Night Football|Thursday Night]]'' games, compared to the rest of the league. Additionally, if the Chargers and Rams are both playing at the same time on Sunday afternoons on a certain network (for instance, a Rams road game against an AFC opponent at the same time as a Charger home game with an NFC opponent with both on Fox, or the reverse where the Rams are on the road against an AFC opponent and the Chargers are at home against an AFC opponent on CBS), in the Los Angeles market, Fox and CBS have authorization to carry the extra game on their secondary sister stations; Fox games air on [[KCOP-TV]], while CBS games are aired on [[KCAL-TV]]. In 2020, the Chargers signed a multi-year preseason TV deal with [[KCBS-TV]] and [[KCAL-TV]] and will have a weekly show with the latest team news, replacing [[KABC-TV]] after three seasons (2017, 2018 and 2019) of televising Chargers preseason football.

==Theme song==
{{main|San Diego Super Chargers}}
The Chargers' [[fight song]], "[[San Diego Super Chargers]]", was recorded in 1979 at the height of the team's success with [[Coryell offense|Air Coryell]], and has a distinctly [[disco]] sound. The team under then-new owner [[Alex Spanos]] replaced the song in 1989 with a non-disco [[cover version]], but the original version was revived in 2002. The team played this song at home games after Chargers scores and victories until it departed San Diego.

They also led the league in total yards in offense 1978–83 and 1985. Under the tutelage of Coryell, [[Dan Fouts]], wide receiver [[Charlie Joiner]], and tight end [[Kellen Winslow]] blossomed on the field and would all be inducted into the [[Pro Football Hall of Fame]]. The Chargers earned four consecutive playoff appearances (1979–82) during the Air Coryell era, including three AFC West division championships (1979–81).

The Chargers coveted [[Eli Manning]] and wanted to select him with their first round pick, which was also the first overall pick of the draft. However, after Manning indicated before the draft that he would not sign with the San Diego Chargers, they were forced to adjust their plans. [[Philip Rivers]] was their first alternative to Manning because the Chargers head coach at the time, [[Marty Schottenheimer]], had coached Rivers at the [[Senior Bowl]] and he liked what he saw from Rivers. The Chargers agreed to a trade on draft day with the [[New York Giants]]. Manning was selected by the San Diego Chargers then later in the draft traded for Rivers, selected with the fourth pick by the Giants. The Chargers also received draft picks from the Giants that were used to select future Pro Bowlers [[Shawne Merriman]] and [[Nate Kaeding]]. Rivers was one of 17 quarterbacks taken in the 2004 NFL Draft along with [[Ben Roethlisberger]], Eli Manning, and Matt Schaub. Rivers, Roethlisberger, Schaub and Manning have been voted to the Pro Bowl since becoming starters; none had produced a season with a losing record until Schaub in 2010, but Roethlisberger and Manning both have won two Super Bowls. They have been compared favorably to the [[Quarterback class of 1983]], which included Hall of Fame quarterbacks [[John Elway]] (1st pick), [[Jim Kelly]] (14th), and [[Dan Marino]] (27th).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/don_banks/08/28/qbs/index.html|title=Best quarterback class ever?

Marty Schottenheimer was named NFL Coach of the Year for the 2004 NFL season. He led the team to a playoff appearance, his 12th as a head coach. However, it resulted in a disappointing loss to the underdog [[New York Jets]] in overtime in [[2004–05 NFL playoffs|2005]].
During the [[2005 NFL Draft]], the Chargers tried to get some key rookies that would help carry the momentum from their mostly successful 2004–2005 run. They used their first pick on LB [[Shawne Merriman|Shawne "Lights Out" Merriman]] from the University of Maryland. Then, they used their next pick on DT [[Luis Castillo (football player)|Luis Castillo]] from Northwestern University. Their other choices were WR [[Vincent Jackson]] from Northern Colorado, RB [[Darren Sproles]] from Kansas State, OT [[Wesley Britt]] from University of Alabama, OT [[Wes Sims (American football)|Wes Sims]] from Oklahoma University, and Center [[Scott Mruczkowski]] from Bowling Green State.
The Chargers got off to a rough start in their 2005 campaign, losing a close one to the [[Dallas Cowboys]] in their Week 1 home opener (28–24) and then they lost on the road to their AFC West rival, the [[Denver Broncos]] (20–17). It was not until a Week 3 home game on Sunday night that they got their first win of the season, when Manning and the New York Giants got "shocked to the system" as [[LaDainian Tomlinson]] had one of the greatest games of his career. He got 220 total yards, had 3 rushing touchdowns, and threw for a touchdown as he helped the Chargers win 45–23.
A week later, they were able to build off their win by not only beating the two-time defending champion [[New England Patriots]] 41–17, but also ending the Pats' 21-game winning streak at home. In their Week 5 Monday Night home game against the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]], the Chargers wore their throwback uniforms during this season (they had also worn them during the 1994 season). The Steelers held on to win with a 40-yard field goal by [[Jeff Reed (football player)|Jeff Reed]] (24–22). The Chargers rebounded on the road against their division rival [[Oakland Raiders]] (27–14). In their Week 7 road trip to Philadelphia, they hoped to build off their win against the Eagles. Late in the game, with the Chargers leading 17–13, the Chargers tried to go for a field goal to put their lead well out of reach, but it got blocked and Eagles DB [[Matt Ware]] returned it 65 yards for the game-winning touchdown and the Chargers fourth loss of the season.
After going 3–4, the Chargers turned things around as they began a five-game winning streak. They won at home against division rival [[Kansas City Chiefs]] (28–20) and on the road against the New York Jets (31–26). Coming off their Week 10 bye, they went home and wore their throwback uniforms again. This time, it was a dominating performance as the Chargers manhandled the [[Buffalo Bills]], 48–10. Then, they went on the road and won a close match against the [[Washington Redskins]] (23–17) in overtime and then they swept the Oakland Raiders at home by a score of 34–10.
The Chargers were 8–5, coming off a 23–21 loss to the [[Miami Dolphins]]. On December 18, the Chargers beat the undefeated [[Indianapolis Colts]] 26–17, snapping a 13–0 winning streak. However, despite a record of 9–6, they were officially eliminated from AFC playoff contention in 2005 after a 20–7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs the following Saturday. The Chargers lost their final game of the season by a score of 23–7 to the AFC West champion Denver Broncos to finish with a record of 9–7.[[File:Philip_Rivers_2014.JPG|right|upright|thumbnail|[[Philip Rivers]] started every game at quarterback from [[2006 San Diego Chargers season|2006]] to [[2019 Los Angeles Chargers season|2019]].]]
The Chargers delivered an impressive performance in [[2006 San Diego Chargers season|2006]], losing only to the Ravens and Chiefs; they finished 14–2 which secured them the #1 AFC seed in the playoffs. However, they lost 24–21 to the [[New England Patriots]] in the divisional round.
==== Norv Turner years (2007–2012) ====
Following the 2006 season, they replaced Schottenheimer with new head coach [[Norv Turner]]. In [[2007 San Diego Chargers season|2007]], they went 11–5, beating the [[Tennessee Titans]] and the defending champion [[Indianapolis Colts]] to reach the AFC title game. However, they fell to the Patriots for the second year in a row. In [[2008 San Diego Chargers season|2008]], the Chargers dropped to 8–8, but as the [[AFC West]] was unusually weak that year, they still managed to win the division title. Defeating the Colts in the wild card round, they lost to the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] in the divisional round.
San Diego began the [[2009 San Diego Chargers season|2009 season]] 2–3. After losing to the Broncos on Monday night, they began an unbroken winning streak for the rest of the season, which included defeating the entire [[NFC East]]. In Week 11, they avenged their earlier loss against the Broncos by inflicting a 32–3 rout on them. The next game saw them beat a 1–11 [[Cleveland Browns]] squad 30–23, in which [[LaDainian Tomlinson]] broke Hall of Famer [[Jim Brown]]'s rushing record and was congratulated by him afterwards. The Chargers secured another division title, the #2 AFC seed, and looked to be a near shoo-in for the [[Super Bowl]]. However, the team's postseason futility continued. Hosting the [[New York Jets]] on January 17, 2010, they endured an upset defeat, where, despite an early lead, were unable to overcome the strong Jets' defense. Kicker [[Nate Kaeding]] also missed three field goal and PAT attempts, which resulted in the Chargers losing 17–14.
The [[2010 San Diego Chargers season|2010 season]] was the 1st season without [[LaDainian Tomlinson]] since 2000 (Tomlinson was let go by management due to an oversized contract relative to production and other issues; he went on to lead the [[New York Jets|Jets]] in rushing with 914 yards & tied for 3rd in receptions with 52). The 2010 campaign started off slowly again, this time 2–5 (including losses to some of the worst teams in football at the time – the [[2010 Kansas City Chiefs season|Kansas City Chiefs]], the [[2010 Oakland Raiders season|Oakland Raiders]], the [[2010 Seattle Seahawks season|Seattle Seahawks]] and the [[2010 St. Louis Rams season|St. Louis Rams]]). The losses were due to turnovers & mental mistakes by young players on special teams allowing blocked punts & kick/punt return touchdowns.

With the special teams failure of the 2010 season campaign, the Chargers hoped to rebound with a strong performance to start the season, and a way to overcome slow starts.
The Chargers started off the [[2011 San Diego Chargers season|2011 season]] with a 4–1 campaign, with their only loss to the [[New England Patriots]]. From that point on, however, the Chargers began a six-game skid with losses to the [[New York Jets|Jets]], [[Kansas City Chiefs|Chiefs]], [[Green Bay Packers|Packers]], [[Oakland Raiders|Raiders]], [[Chicago Bears|Bears]], and [[Denver Broncos|Broncos]], with the first four by only a score and against Denver in overtime. Injuries to both the offensive and the defensive line hit the Chargers hard. But finally on December 5, 2011, the Chargers got their first win in over a month against the [[Jacksonville Jaguars]], beating the also-struggling team.
The Chargers then began a three-game winning streak most notably beating the Ravens by more than any team has beat them that season.
However, the Chargers were beaten, 38–10, by the [[Detroit Lions]] to drop their record to 7–8 and eliminate the possibility of being in the playoffs. After a 38–26 victory over the Raiders in week 17, the Chargers finished at 8–8 and in a numerical tie for first place in the AFC West along with Oakland and Denver. However, the Chargers were beaten out by Denver for the Division Title via tie-breaker. After missing the playoffs for the third straight season in [[2012 San Diego Chargers season|2012]], the Chargers fired general manager Smith and head coach Turner.<ref>{{cite news|title=Norv Turner, A.J.

==== Mike McCoy years (2013–2016) ====
On January 9, 2013, the Chargers announced that [[Tom Telesco]], former Vice President of Football Operations with the [[Indianapolis Colts]], would take over as [[General manager (American football)|General Manager]] following the firing of [[A. J. Smith]]. Additionally, the organization promoted [[John Spanos]] to President of Football Operations. On January 15, 2013, Broncos [[offensive coordinator]], [[Mike McCoy (American football coach)|Mike McCoy]], was hired as the new [[head coach]] and [[Ken Whisenhunt]] as offensive coordinator.<ref>{{cite news|title=Chargers hire Mike McCoy|url=http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8845746/mike-mccoy-takes-san-diego-chargers-head-coach-job|publisher=ESPN|date=January 16, 2013|access-date=January 30, 2016|archive-date=October 5, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005014125/http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8845746/mike-mccoy-takes-san-diego-chargers-head-coach-job|url-status=live}}</ref>
The Chargers finished the 2013 season 9–7 and made the [[NFL playoffs|playoffs]] for the first time since [[2009 San Diego Chargers season|2009]]. They entered the playoffs as the sixth seed. On January 5, 2014, the Chargers defeated the [[2013 Cincinnati Bengals season|Cincinnati Bengals]] at [[Paul Brown Stadium]] (27–10) to advance to the AFC Divisional Playoff Round. The Chargers then lost to the [[2013 Denver Broncos season|Denver Broncos]] at [[Sports Authority Field at Mile High]] the following Sunday, January 12, 2014 (24–17).
After starting the season strongly, including a five-win run in September and October, the Chargers were beset by a string of injuries to key players, and eventually finished the season at 9–7. In contrast to 2013, the record was not enough to make the playoffs. The Chargers began the season 5–1, winning five straight after losing their season opener. It was followed by a three-game losing streak, and they finished 4–4 in the second half. They won just two of their final five games, coming back from double-digit fourth quarter deficits twice to remain in playoff contention. They lost the final game of the season when a win would have secured a playoff berth. In three of their last four games, and five of their last eight, the Chargers did not score more than one touchdown. Compared to 2013, the offense dropped in points (from 12th in the league to 17th), yards (5th to 18th), first downs (3rd to 15th), net yards per pass (2nd to 8th), rushing yards (13th to 30) and yards per rush (21st to 31st). It was the second time in three years the team finished second-to-last in yards per carry. San Diego was just 2–4 against teams in their division in the AFC West, and were swept by both the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs. It was their worst intradivision record since they were 1–5 in 2003. The Chargers were only 3–6 against teams with winning records. They matched their 9–7 record from 2013, but missed the playoffs for the fourth time in five seasons.
During the season, the Chargers, the [[St. Louis Rams]], and the [[Oakland Raiders]] all intimated they might apply to move to Los Angeles at the end of the season. The Chargers announced in December 2014 that they would not be seeking to move for the 2015 season, followed by an announcement from the NFL that no team would move to L.A. until the 2016 season at the earliest.<ref>{{cite news|last=Florio|first=Mike|title=2016 becomes the target for an L.A. move|url=http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/12/20/2016-becomes-the-target-for-an-l-a-move/|work=ProFootballTalk|date=December 20, 2014|access-date=January 15, 2016|archive-date=January 24, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160124122835/http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/12/20/2016-becomes-the-target-for-an-l-a-move/|url-status=live}}</ref>
Controversy filled the 2015 off-season, as attorney and team spokesperson Mark Fabiani continually bashed the local San Diego city government's efforts to negotiate a replacement for Qualcomm Stadium. When [[History of the St. Louis Rams|St. Louis Rams]] owner [[Stan Kroenke]] announced in January 2015 his intention to build a new stadium in [[Inglewood, California|Inglewood]], the Chargers felt pressured to announce their own Los Angeles plan to preserve what they claimed was "25 percent of their fan base" in the affluent Los Angeles and Orange County areas. In February 2015, the team announced a stadium proposal in [[Carson, California|Carson]], in partnership with the [[History of the Oakland Raiders|Oakland Raiders]], their AFC West divisional [[Chargers–Raiders rivalry|rivals]].<ref name="CarsonAnnounce">{{cite news|last=Farmer|first=Sam|title=Chargers, Raiders will jointly pursue an NFL stadium in Carson|url=http://www.latimes.com/sports/nfl/la-sp-nfl-stadium-20150220-story.html|work=Los Angeles Times|date=February 20, 2015|access-date=January 15, 2016|archive-date=January 15, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160115064322/http://www.latimes.com/sports/nfl/la-sp-nfl-stadium-20150220-story.html|url-status=live}}</ref> In August 2015, San Diego city officials announced their new plan for a new $1.1 billion Chargers stadium at the [[Mission Valley, San Diego|Mission Valley]] site of the existing stadium, which included a $350 million contribution of public funds without raising taxes, but Chargers officials scoffed at the proposal and refused to negotiate with the city on any proposal that was not located at the team's preferred downtown location.<ref>{{cite news|last=Perry|first=Tony|title=San Diego officials say $1.1-billion stadium plan for Chargers is 'on track'|url=https://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-san-diego-stadium-chargers-20150810-story.html|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=August 10, 2015|access-date=September 26, 2021}}</ref>
The 2015 season started off with a win against the [[Detroit Lions]] at home. The Chargers lost to the [[Cincinnati Bengals]] and [[Minnesota Vikings]] on the road before defeating the [[Cleveland Browns]] on a last second field goal. Following their 2–2 start, the Chargers lost their next six games, dropping to 2–8. In their six straight losses, they lost heartbreakers to the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]], [[Green Bay Packers]], [[Baltimore Ravens]] and the [[Chicago Bears]], as well as sound defeats by both, division rivals, the [[History of the Oakland Raiders|Oakland Raiders]] and the [[Kansas City Chiefs]]. They finally broke their losing streak by defeating the [[Jacksonville Jaguars]] on the road, bringing their record to 3–8, in last place in the [[AFC West]] and 3rd worst in the [[American Football Conference]] (one game ahead of both the Browns and the [[Tennessee Titans]]). They are also tied for the third worst record in the [[National Football League]]. They then proceeded to beat the Miami Dolphins in Week 14 winning 30–14. They finished the season 4–12.
The day following the conclusion of the {{nfly|2015}} regular season, the Chargers, [[Los Angeles Rams|Rams]], and Raiders all filed to move to Los Angeles.<ref>{{cite web|last=Bien|first=Louis|title=Rams, Raiders and Chargers file for relocation to Los Angeles|url=https://www.sbnation.com/2016/1/4/10712988/los-angeles-relocation-chargers-raiders-rams|publisher=[[SB Nation]]|date=January 4, 2016|access-date=January 13, 2016|archive-date=January 7, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160107221846/http://www.sbnation.com/2016/1/4/10712988/los-angeles-relocation-chargers-raiders-rams|url-status=live}}</ref> On January 12, 2016, the NFL owners voted 30–2 to allow the Rams to return to Los Angeles and approved the Inglewood stadium project over the Carson project.

Meanwhile, in San Diego, the Chargers had continued preliminary work on a ballot initiative for public approval on a new facility at the controversial downtown location, while refusing to negotiate with the City of San Diego on its proposed new Mission Valley stadium, which was the location strongly preferred by its local stadium task force.<ref name="2016agreement" /> On November 8, 2016, Measure C, which required a two-thirds majority to use public hotel tax funds towards the proposed downtown stadium's construction was voted down (57% opposed over 43% in support).

Except for color changes along the way, the Chargers have essentially used the logo of an arc-shaped lightning bolt since the team debuted in 1960. During its period in the AFL, the club also used a shield logo that featured a horsehead, a lightning bolt, and the word "Chargers". The team brought the logo back for on-field design in the 2018 season.
From 1960 to 1973, the colors consisted of various shades of Electric blue ("powder" blue, but technically called Collegiate blue)<ref name = "Uniform">{{citation|title=Evolution of the Chargers Uniform|url=https://www.chargers.com/photos/evolution-of-the-chargers-uniform#0b8eada0-fc0e-4373-9cdc-7ff605eebf83|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=Chargers.com|access-date=December 17, 2020|archive-date=January 18, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210118234912/https://www.chargers.com/photos/evolution-of-the-chargers-uniform#0b8eada0-fc0e-4373-9cdc-7ff605eebf83|url-status=live}}</ref> or white jerseys, both with gold lightning bolts on the shoulders. The helmets were white and had both the arc-shaped lightning bolt logo, in gold or navy depending on the year, and the player's number. At first, the team wore white pants before switching to gold in 1966. In 1973, the numerals on the blue jerseys changed from white to gold.<ref name = Uniform />
In [[1974 San Diego Chargers season|1974]], the sky blue was changed to dark royal blue. The helmet was also changed to dark blue and the players' numbers were removed. Additionally, the face masks became yellow, thus making them one of the first teams in the NFL (with the Kansas City Chiefs) to use a facemask color other than the then-predominant grey. From [[1978 San Diego Chargers season|1978]] through [[1983 San Diego Chargers season|1983]], the Chargers wore their white jerseys at home, coinciding with the hiring of coach Don Coryell – when [[Joe Gibbs]], a Coryell assistant in 1979–80, became head coach of the [[Washington Redskins]] in 1981, he did the same, and white at home became a Redskins staple through 2007 – but Coryell switched the Chargers to their blue jerseys at home starting in [[1984 San Diego Chargers season|1984]]. With the exception of the [[1991 San Diego Chargers season|1991 season]] and other sporadic home games since, San Diego wears its blue jerseys at home.<ref name = Uniform />
In [[1985 San Diego Chargers season|1985]], the Chargers started using navy blue jerseys and returned to wearing white pants. The team's uniform design was next revamped in 1988. It featured an even darker shade of navy blue. The lightning bolts on the jerseys and helmets were white, with navy interior trim and gold outlining; the facemasks became navy blue. In [[1990 San Diego Chargers season|1990]], the team started to wear navy pants with their white jerseys. From [[1988 San Diego Chargers season|1988]] to [[1991 San Diego Chargers season|1991]], the team displayed stripes down the pants rather than lightning bolts. The Chargers went with all-white combinations in [[1997 San Diego Chargers season|1997]] and [[2001 San Diego Chargers season|2001]], only to have the blue pants make a comeback. On October 27, 2003, the Chargers wore their navy pants with their navy jersey for a ''Monday Night Football'' game versus the [[Miami Dolphins]] that was played at [[Sun Devil Stadium]], then the home of the [[Arizona Cardinals]], due to wildfires in southern California. This was the only game in which the Chargers had worn the all-dark combination until the uniform change in 2020.{{Citation needed|date=July 2007}}|
From the late 1980s to 2000, the Chargers wore white at home during some preseason games and dark for regular season games. In [[2001 San Diego Chargers season|2001]], the Chargers started wearing their dark uniforms for preseason games and white uniforms in September home games due to the heat before switching back to dark in October.
In March 2007, the Chargers unveiled their first uniform redesign since 1988, on the team's official website. The team formally unveiled this new uniform set, which mixes old and new styles, in a private team-only event. Navy blue remains the primary color on the home jersey, but the familiar lightning bolt was reverted to gold, and now has navy outlining and powder blue interior trim. The latter color is a nod to the 1960s uniforms. The redesigned lightning bolt was moved to the sides of the shoulders from the top, and includes a new numbering font and word mark in white, with gold outlining and powder blue interior trim. The pants also have a redesigned lightning bolt in gold, with powder blue trim on a navy stripe. Additionally, the team pays tribute to other uniform features from their history by wearing a metallic white helmet, with a navy face mask, the newly revamped bolt in gold with navy and powder blue trim, and white pants. The road white jerseys with navy pants, as well as the alternate powder blue jerseys with white pants, were also redesigned with the new scheme.<ref>{{cite news|title=Chargers Unveil New Uniforms|url=http://www.chargers.com/news/2007/03/14/chargers-unveil-new-uniforms|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=Chargers.com|date=March 14, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160811143337/https://www.chargers.com/news/2007/03/14/chargers-unveil-new-uniforms|archive-date=August 11, 2016|access-date=June 10, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>
From [[2002 San Diego Chargers season|2002]] to [[2006 San Diego Chargers season|2006]], the Chargers used the early-1960s powder blue uniforms as alternate jerseys, which many football fans (both of the Chargers and of other teams) clamored for the team to bring back full-time.
Since [[2007 San Diego Chargers season|2007]], the Chargers have worn the alternate powder blue jerseys twice per season. The alternate powder blue jerseys have also been worn in a playoff game against the [[Indianapolis Colts]] [[2008–09 NFL playoffs|in 2008]].
In [[2009 San Diego Chargers season|2009]], in honor of their 50th anniversary as one of the eight original [[American Football League|AFL]] teams, the Chargers wore their 1963 throwback uniforms for three games.
For the [[2013 San Diego Chargers season|2013 season]], the Chargers made minor tweaks to their current uniforms.

==Rivalries==
=== Las Vegas Raiders ===
{{Main|Chargers–Raiders rivalry}}
The Chargers–Raiders rivalry dates to the 1963 season, when the Raiders defeated the heavily favored Chargers twice, both come-from-behind fourth quarter victories. One of the most memorable games between these teams was the [[Holy Roller (American football)|"Holy Roller" game]] in 1978, in which the Raiders intentionally fumbled in order to score a touchdown. This somewhat controversial play resulted in a rule change the following season. On November 22, 1982, the Raiders hosted their first Monday Night football game in Los Angeles against the Chargers. The Chargers led the game in the 1st half 24–0 until the Raiders scored 28 unanswered points in the second half to win 28–24. On January 10, 2022, the Raiders defeated the Chargers in overtime, 35-32. The winning field goal was unnecessary for the Raiders' playoff chances, and if the game had ended in a tie, both teams would have made the playoffs. With the field goal, the Chargers were eliminated. The Raiders lead the series 67–57–2 as of the end of the 2022 season, including having won the only playoff game between the two teams, the [[1980–81 NFL playoffs|1980 AFC Championship game]].<ref name="Rivalry Watch">{{cite web|url=http://rivalrywatch.com/Home/Rivalry/16|title=Oakland Raiders – San Diego Chargers rivalry|work=[[rivalrywatch.com]]|date=November 17, 2014}}</ref>
=== Los Angeles Rams ===
{{main|Battle of Los Angeles (NFL)}}
Initially, the Los Angeles Raiders and [[Los Angeles Rams|Rams]] were considered to be competing in the "Battle of Los Angeles" during the Raiders' tenure in Los Angeles from 1982–94.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kron4.com/nfl/raiders/raiders-and-rams-ready-to-renew-old-southern-california-rivalry/ |title=Raiders and Rams ready to renew old Southern California rivalry |first=Ron |last=Futrell |date=August 20, 2021 |website=[[KRON-TV]]}}</ref> However, the rivalry ended as the Rams moved to [[St. Louis Rams|St. Louis]] and the Raiders returned to Oakland in the mid–1990s. The Raiders unsuccessfully attempted to move back to Los Angeles in 2015 following a failed joint stadium project with the then-San Diego Chargers. The intercity rivalry was revived only with the Chargers' move from San Diego in 2017, following the Rams' return to Los Angeles in 2016. Hostility erupted between the two clubs during a 2017 joint scrimmage at the Rams' training camp in Irvine, California. Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman and Chargers receiver Keenan Allen initiated an altercation and multiple players rushed into the skirmish, creating an uproar from the crowd.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2726655-rams-chargers-fight-with-multiple-players-breaks-out-during-training-camp |title=Rams, Chargers Fight with Multiple Players Breaks Out During Training Camp |first=Tyler |last=Conway |date=August 9, 2017 |website=[[Bleacher Report]]}}</ref> Following the hiring of coach Sean McVay in 2017, the Rams managed to win back-to-back division titles, including an appearance in Super Bowl LIII during McVay's second season as head coach. The Chargers experienced their own playoff success by boasting a 12–4 record in 2018 and making an appearance in the 2018 AFC divisional round but lost to the New England Patriots. The Rams won the first regular season matchup in Los Angeles between the two teams in Week 3 of the 2018 season. The Chargers would win the next meeting in Week 17 of the 2022 season, the first matchup between the two teams at their new stadium.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.bardown.com/a-massive-brawl-broke-out-in-the-most-ridiculous-way-during-rams-chargers-1.1682163 |title=A massive brawl broke out in the most ridiculous way during Rams/Chargers |website=BarDown|date=August 15, 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.chargers.com/video/melvin-gordon-we-re-building-a-rivalry-with-the-rams-150851 |title=Melvin Gordon: 'We're Building a Rivalry With the Rams' |website=Los Angeles Chargers}}</ref>

As of 2010, the Chargers' policy was to have the [[Chargers Hall of Fame]] committee evaluate candidates for a player's number to retire after the player has retired from the league after five years, Seau was the only exception to this policy. The committee consists of Chargers Executive Vice President [[Alex Spanos]], Chargers public relations director Bill Johnston, [[San Diego Hall of Champions]] founder [[Bob Breitbard]], and the presidents of the San Diego Sports Commission and the Chargers Backers Fan Club. There are few recognized guidelines in sports regarding retiring numbers, and the NFL has no specific league policy.

KYSR-FM's iHeartMedia Los Angeles sister-station [[KFI|KFI AM 640]] served as the previous flagship station for the team since the Chargers’ return to Los Angeles from 2017 to 2019. Past Chargers radio broadcasters have included [[Josh Lewin]], [[Ralph Lawler]], [[Stu Nahan]], [[Tom Kelly (sportscaster)|Tom Kelly]], [[Lee Hamilton (sports)|Lee "Hacksaw" Hamilton]], [[Dan Rowe (broadcaster)|Dan Rowe]], [[Ted Leitner]], and [[Hank Bauer (football player)|Hank Bauer]]. Bauer served seventeen seasons (1998–2014) as the radio color analyst; however, the Chargers and then-flagship [[KIOZ]] decided not to renew his contract,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://espn.go.com/blog/san-diego-chargers/post/_/id/11585/hank-bauer-out-as-analyst-for-chargers-radio-broadcast|title=Hank Bauer out as analyst for Chargers' radio broadcasts|date=June 21, 2015|access-date=September 15, 2016|archive-date=April 9, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160409221004/http://espn.go.com/blog/san-diego-chargers/post/_/id/11585/hank-bauer-out-as-analyst-for-chargers-radio-broadcast|url-status=live}}</ref> and was replaced by Conway starting with the 2015 season. As of 2014, the Chargers also stream their radio broadcasts on their official mobile application (through [[iOS]] and [[Android (operating system)|Android]] devices) as well as on their website.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chargers.com/fans/apps|title=Official Chargers Mobile Apps|date=September 24, 2014|access-date=September 15, 2016|archive-date=September 1, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160901022917/http://www.chargers.com/fans/apps|url-status=live}}</ref>
As of the 2020 season, Chargers preseason games will be broadcast by [[KCBS-TV]]; likewise, in the former San Diego market, [[KFMB-TV|KFMB]] is the local affiliate. As per the NFL's television deals, KCBS also broadcasts [[NFL on CBS|CBS coverage]] of most Chargers regular season games against AFC teams.<ref>{{cite news|author=Chargers Communications|title=Los Angeles Chargers and CBS 2 Announce Multi-Year Broadcast & Media Partnership|url=https://www.chargers.com/news/los-angeles-chargers-and-cbs-2-announce-multi-year-broadcast-media-partnership|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=Chargers.com|date=February 6, 2020|access-date=June 23, 2020|archive-date=April 27, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200427083545/https://www.chargers.com/news/los-angeles-chargers-and-cbs-2-announce-multi-year-broadcast-media-partnership|url-status=live}}</ref>
[[Dennis Packer]], the public address announcer of all USC football games at the [[Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum]], serves as the public address announcer of all Chargers home games at [[SoFi Stadium]]. Packer replaced legendary P.A. announcer Bruce Binkowski, who went on to become the executive director of the Holiday and Poinsettia Bowl games, which were played at their former home, now-defunct [[SDCCU Stadium]]. The Holiday Bowl's being played in 2020 & 2021 at [[Dignity Health Sports Park]] and will return to [[Snapdragon Stadium]] in 2022. Poinsettia Bowl went defunct in 2016.
With the Chargers' return to Los Angeles in 2017, the team became a beneficiary of league scheduling policies. Both the Chargers and the [[Los Angeles Rams]] share the Los Angeles market, which is on the West Coast of the United States. This means that the Chargers cannot play home games, road division games against the [[Denver Broncos]] or [[Las Vegas Raiders]], or interconference road games against the [[NFC West]] (in seasons that the [[AFC West]] and NFC West meet in interconference play) in the early 10:00 a.m. [[Pacific Time Zone|Pacific time]] slot. In addition, they cannot play interconference home games at the same time or network as the Rams. As a result, both teams generally will have more limited scheduling options, and will also benefit by receiving more prime-time games than usual ([[National Football League on television#Chargers and Rams|click here]] for further information). Thus, regardless of the previous season's record, the Chargers will receive a disproportionate number of ''[[NBC Sunday Night Football|Sunday Night]]'', ''[[Monday Night Football|Monday Night]]'' and/or ''[[Thursday Night Football|Thursday Night]]'' games, compared to the rest of the league. Additionally, if the Chargers and Rams are both playing at the same time on Sunday afternoons on a certain network (for instance, a Rams road game against an AFC opponent at the same time as a Charger home game with an NFC opponent with both on Fox, or the reverse where the Rams are on the road against an AFC opponent and the Chargers are at home against an AFC opponent on CBS), in the Los Angeles market, Fox and CBS have authorization to carry the extra game on their secondary sister stations; Fox games air on [[KCOP-TV]], while CBS games are aired on [[KCAL-TV]]. In 2020, the Chargers signed a multi-year preseason TV deal with [[KCBS-TV]] and [[KCAL-TV]] and will have a weekly show with the latest team news, replacing [[KABC-TV]] after three seasons (2017, 2018 and 2019) of televising Chargers preseason football.

==Theme song==
{{main|San Diego Super Chargers}}
The Chargers' [[fight song]], "[[San Diego Super Chargers]]", was recorded in 1979 at the height of the team's success with [[Coryell offense|Air Coryell]], and has a distinctly [[disco]] sound. The team under then-new owner [[Alex Spanos]] replaced the song in 1989 with a non-disco [[cover version]], but the original version was revived in 2002. The team played this song at home games after Chargers scores and victories until it departed San Diego.

</p><p>The Chargers coveted <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Eli_Manning" title="Eli Manning">Eli Manning</a> and wanted to select him with their first round pick, which was also the first overall pick of the draft.

</p><p>Marty Schottenheimer was named NFL Coach of the Year for the 2004 NFL season. He led the team to a playoff appearance, his 12th as a head coach. However, it resulted in a disappointing loss to the underdog <a href="/enwiki/wiki/New_York_Jets" title="New York Jets">New York Jets</a> in overtime in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/2004%E2%80%9305_NFL_playoffs" title="2004–05 NFL playoffs">2005</a>.
</p><p>During the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/2005_NFL_Draft" title="2005 NFL Draft">2005 NFL Draft</a>, the Chargers tried to get some key rookies that would help carry the momentum from their mostly successful 2004–2005 run. They used their first pick on LB <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Shawne_Merriman" title="Shawne Merriman">Shawne "Lights Out" Merriman</a> from the University of Maryland. Then, they used their next pick on DT <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Luis_Castillo_(football_player)" class="mw-redirect" title="Luis Castillo (football player)">Luis Castillo</a> from Northwestern University. Their other choices were WR <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Vincent_Jackson" title="Vincent Jackson">Vincent Jackson</a> from Northern Colorado, RB <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Darren_Sproles" title="Darren Sproles">Darren Sproles</a> from Kansas State, OT <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Wesley_Britt" title="Wesley Britt">Wesley Britt</a> from University of Alabama, OT <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Wes_Sims_(American_football)" title="Wes Sims (American football)">Wes Sims</a> from Oklahoma University, and Center <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Scott_Mruczkowski" title="Scott Mruczkowski">Scott Mruczkowski</a> from Bowling Green State.

It was not until a Week 3 home game on Sunday night that they got their first win of the season, when Manning and the New York Giants got "shocked to the system" as <a href="/enwiki/wiki/LaDainian_Tomlinson" title="LaDainian Tomlinson">LaDainian Tomlinson</a> had one of the greatest games of his career. He got 220 total yards, had 3 rushing touchdowns, and threw for a touchdown as he helped the Chargers win 45–23.
</p><p>A week later, they were able to build off their win by not only beating the two-time defending champion <a href="/enwiki/wiki/New_England_Patriots" title="New England Patriots">New England Patriots</a> 41–17, but also ending the Pats' 21-game winning streak at home. In their Week 5 Monday Night home game against the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Pittsburgh_Steelers" title="Pittsburgh Steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>, the Chargers wore their throwback uniforms during this season (they had also worn them during the 1994 season). The Steelers held on to win with a 40-yard field goal by <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Jeff_Reed_(football_player)" class="mw-redirect" title="Jeff Reed (football player)">Jeff Reed</a> (24–22). The Chargers rebounded on the road against their division rival <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Oakland_Raiders" title="Oakland Raiders">Oakland Raiders</a> (27–14). In their Week 7 road trip to Philadelphia, they hoped to build off their win against the Eagles. Late in the game, with the Chargers leading 17–13, the Chargers tried to go for a field goal to put their lead well out of reach, but it got blocked and Eagles DB <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Matt_Ware" title="Matt Ware">Matt Ware</a> returned it 65 yards for the game-winning touchdown and the Chargers fourth loss of the season.
</p><p>After going 3–4, the Chargers turned things around as they began a five-game winning streak. They won at home against division rival <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Kansas_City_Chiefs" title="Kansas City Chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> (28–20) and on the road against the New York Jets (31–26). Coming off their Week 10 bye, they went home and wore their throwback uniforms again. This time, it was a dominating performance as the Chargers manhandled the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Buffalo_Bills" title="Buffalo Bills">Buffalo Bills</a>, 48–10. Then, they went on the road and won a close match against the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Washington_Redskins" class="mw-redirect" title="Washington Redskins">Washington Redskins</a> (23–17) in overtime and then they swept the Oakland Raiders at home by a score of 34–10.

</p><p>San Diego began the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/2009_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="2009 San Diego Chargers season">2009 season</a> 2–3.

<p>Except for color changes along the way, the Chargers have essentially used the logo of an arc-shaped lightning bolt since the team debuted in 1960. During its period in the AFL, the club also used a shield logo that featured a horsehead, a lightning bolt, and the word "Chargers". The team brought the logo back for on-field design in the 2018 season.
</p><p>From 1960 to 1973, the colors consisted of various shades of Electric blue ("powder" blue, but technically called Collegiate blue)<sup id="cite_ref-Uniform_98-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Uniform-98">[98]</a></sup> or white jerseys, both with gold lightning bolts on the shoulders. The helmets were white and had both the arc-shaped lightning bolt logo, in gold or navy depending on the year, and the player's number. At first, the team wore white pants before switching to gold in 1966. In 1973, the numerals on the blue jerseys changed from white to gold.<sup id="cite_ref-Uniform_98-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Uniform-98">[98]</a></sup>
</p><p>In <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1974_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="1974 San Diego Chargers season">1974</a>, the sky blue was changed to dark royal blue. The helmet was also changed to dark blue and the players' numbers were removed. Additionally, the face masks became yellow, thus making them one of the first teams in the NFL (with the Kansas City Chiefs) to use a facemask color other than the then-predominant grey. From <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1978_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="1978 San Diego Chargers season">1978</a> through <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1983_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="1983 San Diego Chargers season">1983</a>, the Chargers wore their white jerseys at home, coinciding with the hiring of coach Don Coryell – when <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Joe_Gibbs" title="Joe Gibbs">Joe Gibbs</a>, a Coryell assistant in 1979–80, became head coach of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Washington_Redskins" class="mw-redirect" title="Washington Redskins">Washington Redskins</a> in 1981, he did the same, and white at home became a Redskins staple through 2007 – but Coryell switched the Chargers to their blue jerseys at home starting in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1984_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="1984 San Diego Chargers season">1984</a>. With the exception of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1991_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="1991 San Diego Chargers season">1991 season</a> and other sporadic home games since, San Diego wears its blue jerseys at home.<sup id="cite_ref-Uniform_98-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Uniform-98">[98]</a></sup>
</p><p>In <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1985_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="1985 San Diego Chargers season">1985</a>, the Chargers started using navy blue jerseys and returned to wearing white pants. The team's uniform design was next revamped in 1988. It featured an even darker shade of navy blue. The lightning bolts on the jerseys and helmets were white, with navy interior trim and gold outlining; the facemasks became navy blue. In <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1990_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="1990 San Diego Chargers season">1990</a>, the team started to wear navy pants with their white jerseys. From <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1988_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="1988 San Diego Chargers season">1988</a> to <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1991_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="1991 San Diego Chargers season">1991</a>, the team displayed stripes down the pants rather than lightning bolts. The Chargers went with all-white combinations in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1997_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="1997 San Diego Chargers season">1997</a> and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/2001_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="2001 San Diego Chargers season">2001</a>, only to have the blue pants make a comeback.

</p><p>From the late 1980s to 2000, the Chargers wore white at home during some preseason games and dark for regular season games. In <a href="/enwiki/wiki/2001_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="2001 San Diego Chargers season">2001</a>, the Chargers started wearing their dark uniforms for preseason games and white uniforms in September home games due to the heat before switching back to dark in October.
</p><p>In March 2007, the Chargers unveiled their first uniform redesign since 1988, on the team's official website. The team formally unveiled this new uniform set, which mixes old and new styles, in a private team-only event. Navy blue remains the primary color on the home jersey, but the familiar lightning bolt was reverted to gold, and now has navy outlining and powder blue interior trim. The latter color is a nod to the 1960s uniforms. The redesigned lightning bolt was moved to the sides of the shoulders from the top, and includes a new numbering font and word mark in white, with gold outlining and powder blue interior trim. The pants also have a redesigned lightning bolt in gold, with powder blue trim on a navy stripe. Additionally, the team pays tribute to other uniform features from their history by wearing a metallic white helmet, with a navy face mask, the newly revamped bolt in gold with navy and powder blue trim, and white pants. The road white jerseys with navy pants, as well as the alternate powder blue jerseys with white pants, were also redesigned with the new scheme.<sup id="cite_ref-99" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-99">[99]</a></sup>

</p><p>Since <a href="/enwiki/wiki/2007_San_Diego_Chargers_season" title="2007 San Diego Chargers season">2007</a>, the Chargers have worn the alternate powder blue jerseys twice per season.

<p>The Chargers–Raiders rivalry dates to the 1963 season, when the Raiders defeated the heavily favored Chargers twice, both come-from-behind fourth quarter victories. One of the most memorable games between these teams was the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Holy_Roller_(American_football)" title="Holy Roller (American football)">"Holy Roller" game</a> in 1978, in which the Raiders intentionally fumbled in order to score a touchdown. This somewhat controversial play resulted in a rule change the following season. On November 22, 1982, the Raiders hosted their first Monday Night football game in Los Angeles against the Chargers. The Chargers led the game in the 1st half 24–0 until the Raiders scored 28 unanswered points in the second half to win 28–24. On January 10, 2022, the Raiders defeated the Chargers in overtime, 35-32. The winning field goal was unnecessary for the Raiders' playoff chances, and if the game had ended in a tie, both teams would have made the playoffs. With the field goal, the Chargers were eliminated. The Raiders lead the series 67–57–2 as of the end of the 2022 season, including having won the only playoff game between the two teams, the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1980%E2%80%9381_NFL_playoffs" title="1980–81 NFL playoffs">1980 AFC Championship game</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Rivalry_Watch_112-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Rivalry_Watch-112">[112]</a></sup>

<p>Initially, the Los Angeles Raiders and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Los_Angeles_Rams" title="Los Angeles Rams">Rams</a> were considered to be competing in the "Battle of Los Angeles" during the Raiders' tenure in Los Angeles from 1982–94.<sup id="cite_ref-113" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-113">[113]</a></sup> However, the rivalry ended as the Rams moved to <a href="/enwiki/wiki/St._Louis_Rams" title="St. Louis Rams">St. Louis</a> and the Raiders returned to Oakland in the mid–1990s. The Raiders unsuccessfully attempted to move back to Los Angeles in 2015 following a failed joint stadium project with the then-San Diego Chargers. The intercity rivalry was revived only with the Chargers' move from San Diego in 2017, following the Rams' return to Los Angeles in 2016. Hostility erupted between the two clubs during a 2017 joint scrimmage at the Rams' training camp in Irvine, California.

The Chargers experienced their own playoff success by boasting a 12–4 record in 2018 and making an appearance in the 2018 AFC divisional round but lost to the New England Patriots. The Rams won the first regular season matchup in Los Angeles between the two teams in Week 3 of the 2018 season.

<p>The Chargers currently have six <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Retired_number" title="Retired number">retired numbers</a>: #14 of Dan Fouts, #18 of Charlie Joiner, #19 of Lance Alworth, #21 of LaDainian Tomlinson, #55 of Junior Seau and #80 of Kellen Winslow. As of 2010, the Chargers' policy was to have the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Chargers_Hall_of_Fame" class="mw-redirect" title="Chargers Hall of Fame">Chargers Hall of Fame</a> committee evaluate candidates for a player's number to retire after the player has retired from the league after five years, Seau was the only exception to this policy. The committee consists of Chargers Executive Vice President <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Alex_Spanos" title="Alex Spanos">Alex Spanos</a>, Chargers public relations director Bill Johnston, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/San_Diego_Hall_of_Champions" title="San Diego Hall of Champions">San Diego Hall of Champions</a> founder <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Bob_Breitbard" title="Bob Breitbard">Bob Breitbard</a>, and the presidents of the San Diego Sports Commission and the Chargers Backers Fan Club. There are few recognized guidelines in sports regarding retiring numbers, and the NFL has no specific league policy. "You have to have enough numbers for players to wear", said NFL spokesman Greg Aiello.<sup id="cite_ref-sullivan_03042010_124-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sullivan_03042010-124">[124]</a></sup> The Chargers have rarely retired numbers.<sup id="cite_ref-schofield_125-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-schofield-125">[125]</a></sup> The <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/San_Diego_Union-Tribune" class="mw-redirect" title="San Diego Union-Tribune">San Diego Union-Tribune</a></i> wrote, "The [Chargers] tend to honor their heritage haphazardly."<sup id="cite_ref-sullivan_08152006_126-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sullivan_08152006-126">[126]</a></sup> Though not officially retired, the Chargers have not issued #17 or #85 since the retirements of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Philip_Rivers" title="Philip Rivers">Philip Rivers</a> and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Antonio_Gates" title="Antonio Gates">Antonio Gates</a>, respectively.

This means that the Chargers cannot play home games, road division games against the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Denver_Broncos" title="Denver Broncos">Denver Broncos</a> or <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Las_Vegas_Raiders" title="Las Vegas Raiders">Las Vegas Raiders</a>, or interconference road games against the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/NFC_West" title="NFC West">NFC West</a> (in seasons that the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/AFC_West" title="AFC West">AFC West</a> and NFC West meet in interconference play) in the early 10:00 a.m. <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Pacific_Time_Zone" title="Pacific Time Zone">Pacific time</a> slot. In addition, they cannot play interconference home games at the same time or network as the Rams. As a result, both teams generally will have more limited scheduling options, and will also benefit by receiving more prime-time games than usual (<a href="/enwiki/wiki/National_Football_League_on_television#Chargers_and_Rams" title="National Football League on television">click here</a> for further information). Thus, regardless of the previous season's record, the Chargers will receive a disproportionate number of <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/NBC_Sunday_Night_Football" title="NBC Sunday Night Football">Sunday Night</a></i>, <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Monday_Night_Football" title="Monday Night Football">Monday Night</a></i> and/or <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Thursday_Night_Football" title="Thursday Night Football">Thursday Night</a></i> games, compared to the rest of the league. Additionally, if the Chargers and Rams are both playing at the same time on Sunday afternoons on a certain network (for instance, a Rams road game against an AFC opponent at the same time as a Charger home game with an NFC opponent with both on Fox, or the reverse where the Rams are on the road against an AFC opponent and the Chargers are at home against an AFC opponent on CBS), in the Los Angeles market, Fox and CBS have authorization to carry the extra game on their secondary sister stations; Fox games air on <a href="/enwiki/wiki/KCOP-TV" title="KCOP-TV">KCOP-TV</a>, while CBS games are aired on <a href="/enwiki/wiki/KCAL-TV" title="KCAL-TV">KCAL-TV</a>. In 2020, the Chargers signed a multi-year preseason TV deal with <a href="/enwiki/wiki/KCBS-TV" title="KCBS-TV">KCBS-TV</a> and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/KCAL-TV" title="KCAL-TV">KCAL-TV</a> and will have a weekly show with the latest team news, replacing <a href="/enwiki/wiki/KABC-TV" title="KABC-TV">KABC-TV</a> after three seasons (2017, 2018 and 2019) of televising Chargers preseason football.
