Some History
In 1992, former Georgia Tech coach Bobby Ross was hired to restore the Chargers' glory. He did so almost immediately. In his first season, San Diego won the AFC West. Two years later the Chargers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers, 17-13, in the AFC championship game and earned a trip to their first Super Bowl. Unfortunately, they lost the Super Bowl to the San Francisco 49ers, 49-26.San Diego sets an NFL record by winning four straight games, defeating Indianapolis 34-14, after losing four in a row.
The Chargers clinch their first playoff berth since 1983 with a 36-14 win in Oakland, and make history as the only team to start 0-4 and make the playoffs with a winning record of 11-5.
The Chargers win the AFC West title with 31-14 victory over Seattle in Kingdome in front of 63,834 fans for the go-ahead to play the Kansas City Chiefs in the Wild-Card playoff game. San Diego wins the game 17-0, but unfortunately, they can't get by the Miami Dolphins as they down the Chargers 31-0 on home turf.
If you look closely at almost all NFL uniforms worn from 1991 on, you'll note a small NFL shield patch on the jersey's neckline. Most NFL uniforms added the NFL logo patch to the neck, and to the upper left thigh of the pants, beginning in 1991.
The only major exception to this practice was in 1994 when the teams wore their throwback uniforms in these cases, as is the case here, most teams did not wear the NFL shield patch on their jersey or pants.
As well, if you look on the legs of the pants, you will notice that the lightning bolt has been added, and a Captains Patch has been added to the left side of the jersey. Notice the mask has changed on the helmet.
