History of the San Diego Chargers Barron Hilton held a contest to find a name for his team. The prize was a trip to Mexico. A man from Hollywood named Gerald Courtney submitted the name "Chargers" and won.[6]:p.20 [7][8] Conrad Hilton said, "I liked [the name] because they were yelling "charge" and sounding the bugle at Dodger Stadium and at USC games".[9][10] Hunt said he thought Hilton picked the team name from the first batch of letters as publicity for his new charge account business Carte Blanche.[11]
