It didn’t take long for onlookers to start hyping the new Los Angeles Chargers alternate jerseys. 

The Chargers revealed this week that July 15 is the date to know for the alternate jersey reveal, as they’ll unveil the new threads then, complete with merchandise and the like available right away. 

Chargers great Shawne Merriman commented on the announcement, sounding like a guy who has already had a peek or two at them, keeping it short and sweet with his comment: “They’re insane…so I’ve heard”

It’s not hard to believe the Chargers have put together something special with a new jersey rollout, not that many years after going back to the powder blues. 

Since then, the NFL has quietly loosened the rules on alternate jerseys, alternate helmets and how many times per season teams can wear each and when. No official word on the Chargers doing different helmets for special occasions just yet, but one can imagine something is probably in the works.
