The new Los Angeles Rams logo was actually leaked earlier this month, and no one wanted to believe it was real. It turns out it was. The team officially debuted its new logo on Tuesday, and the reactions have been pretty entertaining.

You might remember that the San Francisco 49ers tried to "update" their logo in 1991. The reaction wasn't exactly what they had hoped for.

Fans flooded the 49ers' phones to voice their displeasure. After all, there was no social media back then to gauge the reactions. The media followed with its own criticisms. The 49ers quickly reversed course, and the updated logo never saw the field.

Looks like a logo for a TV morning show

So pointless. All this guarantees is another logo redesign when the team is inevitably moved to St Louis again! 😂

Even 49ers insider Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area got into the fun, which is a good sign that something must be wrong.
In all seriousness, I think the Chargers' new logo is perfect.
