Well, it now appears that the Chargers’ application to trademark “LA Chargers” is being challenged in court.
Per the Southern California based non-profit Voice of San Diego.
“Unfortunately for the team, its “LA Chargers” trademark application ran into an issue. On Dec. 20, LA Gear, the ‘80s-era athletic apparel company, filed a Notice of Opposition with the Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board related to the apparel portion of the “LA Chargers” application, on the grounds that it conflicts with LA Gear’s trademarks, and is likely to cause consumer confusion as to the source of the goods.”
As the report notes, “likelihood of confusion” has been the core principle behind trademark infringement claims brought to the Patent and Trademark Office in the past.
In reality, such a claim needs to pass through several legal hurdles in order to be considered legitimate by the government. Though, considering LA Gear itself has been around since 1979 and has brand recognition behind it, it seems that at least that one huge hurdles has been cleared.
If the office were to rule in LA Gear’s favor, it would force the Chargers to do one of several things. It could decide to continue fighting the issue in court. It could seek a potential deal with the apparel company, much like the LA Galaxy of MLS might have done years back.
Heck, the Chargers could decide that this is now the best opportunity to rebrand its organization. That has been bandied about in the past.
Nevertheless, this is most definitely something to keep an eye on.

shite, frick LA Gear...
That said, if the Dodgers wanted to contest that abomination of a logo, then they should, and they should win.
It's obviously a complete hack job of trying to gain LA fans by piggy-backing off the Dodgers.

Remember the Iowa/USM logo battle USM lost? My buddy was a USM grad and thought they were distinguishable to any football fan and thought it was silly.
We go to the Virginia Tech/Michigan Sugar Bowl a few years ago which was relatively soon after the final judgment I believe and he wears his USM jacket. All the Tech fans thought he was an Iowa fan, and he knew he was wrong afterall

They're going to be playing in a 30,000 seat stadium. I wonder if they'll even fill it up by week 17

Man, where were you living in 1993? That must've been the non-coolest place on Earth.

Chargers announce that they will no longer use that logo.

"Clearly, we miscalculated how the logo would be received, and we've taken it out of the rotation."
