| | Pro Football Hall Of Fame, Canton Ohio: San Diego Chargers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | The Chargers were born on August 14, 1959, when Barron Hilton, a 32-year-old hotel executive, was awarded a franchise for Los Angeles in the new American Football League. |
 | | Even though they won the AFL Western division championship in 1960, the Los Angeles Chargers received meager fan support so Hilton, buoyed by the encouragement of San Diego sports editor Jack Murphy, moved his team 120 miles south to San Diego in 1961. |
 | | The Chargers' uniform was unveiled on March 20, 1960. |
