The trademark application for “Los Angeles Chargers” seeks to use that phrase on a broad range of items, from football helmets, T-shirts and neckties, to rompers, Christmas tree ornaments and magnetic coded charge cards.

The returning Los Angeles franchise will play in the Coliseum until the state-of-the-art stadium in Inglewood is completed, which is expected to before the start of the 2019 season.
EARTH CITY, Mo. – Speaking to their fans in Los Angeles for the first time in person last Friday, Rams owner Stan Kroenke and chief operating officer Kevin Demoff mostly received loud cheers. The development has an estimated cost of $2.6 billion – more than $1 billion more than New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, now the league’s most costly venue.
Meanwhile, officials with the city and county of San Diego have reiterated their offer to build a playing facility in Mission Valley to replace Qualcomm Stadium, paid for with a mix of public and private money, or consider another locations the Chargers might prefer. If the Chargers decided against that move, the Oakland Raiders would then get the chance. But the CBS telecast hit its highest ratings since 1998 (15.7 million viewers), and Romeo says he already is reaching out to Kroenke to discuss the possibility of Inglewood as an awards venue: “The Grammys could be unbelievable there”. The team has described that stadium as outdated, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell recently called San Diego’s proposal for a new one “unsatisfactory and inadequate”.
The big problem: The city of San Diego and the Chargers broke off negotiations over the summer.
