Ouch.
"The logo that was revealed on Thursday was meant to help launch our brand into the market and supplement -- not replace -- our official team marks," Chargers president of business operations A.G. Spanos said in a statement, via PFT. "Clearly, we miscalculated how the logo would be received, and we've taken it out of the rotation."
After the Chargers announced their plans to move to Los Angeles from San Diego on Thursday, the team faced a huge blitz of backlash. The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Tampa Bay Lightning trolled the new Chargers logo on twitter, fans booed the Chargers logo at a Lakers vs Clippers game, and San Diego moving companies are supposedly denying the Chargers request for help.
"If we make a mistake, we own it, learn from it, and move on without looking back." said the Chargers president of business. "If the ultimate outcome of this episode is something really special that L.A. fans help create and truly love, that's a win."
It looks like the mistake may be moving to Los Angeles.
