The Los Angeles Chargers are a professional American football team in Los Angeles, California. They are currently part of the Western Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The club was founded by Barron Hilton in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League. The club spent its first season in 1960 in Los Angeles before moving to San Diego in 1961, becoming the San Diego Chargers^[6] and spending 56 seasons in that city before moving back to the Los Angeles area from 2017 to 2019. The team played at Dignity Health Sports Park, a soccer stadium in suburban Carson that serves as home to the LA Galaxy of Major League Soccer. They made only one Super Bowl appearance in 1994. In 2020, the Chargers joined the Los Angeles Rams at that team's new SoFi Stadium in another Los Angeles suburb, Inglewood.^[7]^[8]^[9]

From 2007 to 2019, Phillip Rivers was their starting quarterback. The current quarterback is Justin Herbert. The original team logo was a charging horse. Over time, the logo evolved into a lightning bolt strike, a play on a different meaning of "charge". The team wears navy blue jerseys and white pants for most home games, white jerseys and navy pants for road games, and powder blue jerseys with white pants for designated home games. There is a gold lightning bolt on the jersey that is outlined in both powder blue and navy.
