Never knew the Chargers were named after Hilton”s credit card company, turned out to a great name for a team. I’ve said this before, the Chargers should stick to their powder blue uniforms full time, another great innovation from Barron Hilton. It seems like the Spanos family would resent any ideas coming from a previous owner.
