The year was 2006. LaDanian Tomlinson was cutting up the turf as the NFL’s Most Valuable Player, racking up 1,800 yards and a still-standing record of 28 touchdowns rushing. Watching LT play was a can’t-miss occasion that season, and making it even better was the powder blue jersey he wore throughout the year — a throwback to the San Diego’s uniforms in the ‘70s.
Having good sense, the Chargers, now in Los Angeles, have kept the powder blues in its rotation ever since, but there was nothing like both the team and its jerseys in that era. For further proof, just look at Louis Vuitton’s new football jersey that pays homage arguably the best of all-time in the NFL.
