LA Chargers Logo Fiasco

0
0

About

The L.A. Chargers Logo Fiasco is the online backlash against the California-based NFL football team’s new logo that was introduced following its relocation to Los Angeles in January 2017. Upon its debut on Twitter in January 2017, it became widely ridiculed by fans, celebrities, media outlets, and even the official accounts of other sports franchises, mainly due to its resemblance to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ iconic white-on-blue logo, ultimately prompting the franchise to drop the logo.

History

The Los Angeles Chargers were created as a franchise in the now-defunct American Football League in 1960. After only one year in Los Angeles, the Chargers moved to San Diego where they would remain for more than 40 years, until in late 2016, when the Chargers, along with St. Louis Rams, announced their return to home city of Los Angeles after heightened efforts by the NFL to revitalize LA as home for professional sports teams. On January 12th, 2017, the Chargers unveiled a newly designed logo via its Twitter account on the day of its official debut as the Los Angeles Chargers.



Fans on the internet immediately took note of the similarities between it and the logos of the Major League Baseball (MLB) team Los Angeles Dodgers and Florida-based National Hockey League (NHL) team Tampa Bay Lightning, with many deriding it as a cheap knock-off or a combination of both the Dodgers and Lightning. Soon enough, both the Lightning and Dodgers chimed in on the joke on Twitter



Other sports franchises also began to joke about changing their logos in similar ways, such as the Dallas Stars hockey team posting a fake logo that was a recolor of the logo used by the Dallas Cowboys football team.




The next day, the Chargers updated their Twitter profile picture with a new version of the logo (below left), changing the color scheme to the powder blue and yellow combination that the franchise was most known for. While it was a bit more accepted, they were still mocked for so quickly backpedaling on the first logo design. Despite the backlash, the Chargers then changed their logo yet again (below right), this time abandoning their previous design entirely.



In addition to ridicule from the media and other sports teams, fans on the internet began to post their own edited versions of the Chargers logo to mock them as well.




Spread

The mocking of the Chargers’ poor effort in making a logo originated on Twitter, but as more talked about it, the fiasco was mentioned by several local and even national media outlets. The fan-made memes and edits spread from Twitter and also cropped up on the /sp/ board of 4Chan, the r/NFL subreddit, and multiple NFL-related Facebook accounts.

Krillin: Wait, wha- [end tune].

WOAH TECHNOLOGY

WOAHTECHNOLOGY,” was a term used by YandereDev, the developer of the game Yandere Simulator, to describe the feeling when video games seem to go the extra mile when it comes to realism.
YandereDev used this to describe a feature in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. In this feature, the player could shoot a bucket of ice and the ice cubes would actually melt if the player waited long enough.

“When I first saw this, it blew my mind! I was like, WOAHTECHNOLOGY!” – YandereDev upon descibing the ice in MGS2.

YandereDev then descibed how he wanted to add little details to Yandere Simulator – specifically the first rival in the game.

“I want to put a lot of little details into the game to give people the same ‘WOAHTECHNOLOGY’ feeling that I got when I played Metal Gear Solid 2,”- YandereDev, applying this soon-to-be meme to his game.

WOAHTECHNOLOGY” is normally used in comments on YouTube to express fascination with something.

About

#AlternativeFacts / #SpicerFacts are a pair of hashtags that emerged to mock White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s first press conference as part of the Donald Trump administration. Using the hashtags, Twitter users tell outlandish falsehoods in reference to how Sean Spicer said easily disprovable statements about the Inauguration of Donald Trump

Origin

On January 21st, 2017, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer held his first press conference under President Trump. There, he chastised the media for supposedly falsely reporting on the size of the crowd at Trump’s inauguration. Despite photographic evidence to the contrary, Spicer insisted Trump’s inauguration had the highest attendance numbers ever, echoing Trump’s claim that 1.5 million people attended his inauguration when the official report placed the number at 250,000.[1]



This sparked the hashtag #SpicerFacts. #AlternativeFacts spread after Trump spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway used the term “Alternative Facts” on MSNBC’s Meet the Press with Chuck Todd on January 22nd, 2017, to describe the claims Spicer made in his first press conference.

The tragedy of Darth Plagueis ”the wise”

About

The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis ”the Wise” is a copypasta originating from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Online, it has gained popularity as a meme among Star Wars fans.

Origin

In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Chancellor Palpatine, secretly Darth Sidious, tells Anakin Skywalker the legend as to to lure him further to the dark side of the force, as Anakin was having visions of his wife, Padmé Amidala, dying in childbirth. The legend is about a Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Plaguies “the wise”, who could influence midi-chlorions to prevent people from dying. However, he taught his apprentice all he knew, and then the apprentice killed him while he was asleep. Palpatine finds the legend ironic, because while Darth Plaguies could save others from death, he could not save himself.

Palpatine: Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis “the wise”?

Anakin: No?

Palpatine: I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.

Anakin: He could actually save people from death?

Palpatine: The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

Anakin: What happened to him?

Palpatine: He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

Anakin: Is it possible to learn this power?

Palpatine: Not from a Jedi.

In the copypasta, Palpatine’s last line and all of Anakin’s are removed.
