It's a modern throwback that is going to dazzle in primetime.

The Bolts will unveil their all-navy Super Chargers alternate uniforms on Thursday night, a home game against the Vikings for all to see.

The uniforms are a nod to the 1990s - early 2000s era in which the Chargers claimed the AFC Championship, appeared in Super Bowl XXIX and began a run of AFC West titles.

By the way, merchandise for the Super Chargers look is available now.

Here's a detailed look at the Super Chargers alternate uniforms.

The Chargers have gone back to the future with one of the most iconic looks in franchise history. Dubbed the Super Chargers uniform, the new threads are comprised of an all-navy set that includes a modernized helmet (with the identical finish of the previous era), jersey and pants that the Chargers will wear at home in Week 8 against the Vikings.

The Bolts will induct legendary safety Rodney Harrison, one of the most famous Chargers to don this uniform, the same day they debut them against Minnesota. (Go here for Chargers single-game tickets against the Vikings).

The Chargers will also wear the all-navy look again in Week 13 against the Raiders. (Go here for Chargers single-game tickets against the Raiders).

It's a nod to the past, to be sure.

Think of LaDainian Tomlinson setting the single-season touchdown record, Antonio Gates terrorizing defenses, Junior Seau racking up tackles, Harrison making his name as 'The Hitman,' and Stan Humphries, Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh (during his playing days) and Philip Rivers throwing the ball all over the yard.

Players who previously wore navy love the new look.

"I love the navy. That was my favorite one," Gates said. "And once I saw this new version, I said, 'Yeah, I definitely would have scored a few touchdowns wearing that.' I love that uniform. I wish I could play in it again."

Tomlinson added: "If you think about the Chargers and the brand and the colors — and what that means — I think most people my age would identify with the navy blue and the lightning bolt. When you saw that jersey, more than likely you were in Qualcomm Stadium. And, more than likely, if you were on the other team in that era you were leaving with a loss."

Legendary linebacker Shawne "Lights Out" Merriman said: "They were the hardest jerseys in football. They were so original and had a gritty feeling to them – we were going to go out there and run the football, play great defense and hit you in the mouth. You were going to get four quarters of pure hell. That's what those navy jerseys and helmets meant. When we came out in those navies, you knew what time it was."

Current players on the Chargers, some of whom modeled the new uniforms in a secret offseason shoot, said they are honored to represent franchise legends.

"I think of when I was playing video games as LaDainian Tomlinson and the throwback Chargers," James said. "It's just going to bring back so much tradition as the Chargers. That's what I knew the Chargers as growing up."

Daiyan Henley added: "It's a Seau-type of feeling. We're trying to tap back into those legends. It's a nod to them and a nod to the past. I want to do right by this jersey."

To be clear, the new navy uniforms look a bit different than what the Chargers previously wore.

With Super Chargers stitched in white on the neckline, other notable differences include a smaller bolt on the shoulders, the more streamlined bolt and a player's number on the helmet, modern numbers on the uniform itself with the old-school outline and the simple fact that they will only be worn navy on navy.

The majority of the look, however, is the same: a navy helmet with a navy facemask, a navy jersey with white numbers outlined with gold trim and navy pants with the bolt, filled in with white, on the sides.

It's a true modern throwback.

"The uniform is not the exact same uniform. It's been slightly updated and is a little bit more modern," said Spanos. "The lightning bolt is a little bit more streamlined to be more consistent with the current look. The numbers are slightly different and a bit more modern.

"But it still evokes emotion within when you look at it. When you see it head to toe on a player, it looks the way it's supposed to look," Spanos said, noting the navy look is special to him as it was the uniform the Chargers wore on the way to an appearance in Super Bowl XXIX after claiming the 1994 AFC Championship in Pittsburgh.

The last time the Chargers wore this particular look was the 2006 season.

"It closely resembles a great era in Chargers football that is obviously highlighted by a Super Bowl appearance. It's been nearly 20 years since we've worn that uniform," Spanos said. "A lot of people in their mid-30 to late-40s, that's the uniform they grew up with. As a fan, there's something very special about that era.

"It's a time capsule of sorts in the shape of a uniform because it makes you feel nostalgic when you see it. We're excited to bring back the look."

Spanos added: "The navy is special because it crosses so many great eras, between the 1992 and the 1994 teams that were so special with Stan Humphries, Natrone Means, Bobby Ross and so many others. And then it had a second life, so to speak, with Marty [Schottenheimer], LT, Gatesy and Philip. And Junior spanned both of those eras. It's a uniform where we went 14-2 and had the best record in the league, LT sets the single-season scoring record. The uniform is just really historic and memorable."
