It’s about damn time.
On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Chargers announced that they will wear their “powder blue” uniforms as part of their primary uniforms during the 2019 season.
In addition, the Chargers will also don the gold facemask in 2019. The Bolts were actually the first team in NFL history to boast a colored facemask when they debuted it with their blue helmet back in 1974.
The Chargers most recently brought the gold facemask back in 2016, using it whenever they wore their color rush uniforms the past three seasons. This year, they’ll use it when wearing powder, white or royal blue.
The Chargers’ iconic powder blue jerseys date all the way back tothe team’s inauguarl 1960 season. The franchise wore them all the way until 1974, bringing them back as an alternate in 1994.
