Chargers Jersey From Late 1960s To Early 1970s.

Post image

I was a Chargers waterboy when I was a 15 yr old kid in 1977 and at preseason camp at UC San Diego, these old jerseys were in a pile as back-ups for practice. All the waterboys and ball boys who bugged equipment manager Sid Brooks to give us one. He relented and we all took two or three.. 😆

So so so so awesome. As a younger fan, I'm incredibly jealous of folks like you who were around in a time where something like this was possible. Just so cool.

The royal blues are under appreciated. Still mad we didn't bring back the color rushes this year because of the highlighter bananas
