hawk36 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I just did a quick Google search for Padres Lanyard and the first one that came up is this years' blue/yellow but in the shadows it appears blue/sand. In fact, if you bring into Photoshop and reduce the saturation by -50 it becomes almost identical in color to the leaked navy/sand lanyard. Hmm.

There is a bit of selection bias in posting a photo of one lanyard. Well as I understand it he works at a sports equipment store in San Diego. So they get gear as it's being released. It's how he got the scoop last winter on the 2016 cap with the yellow D. He's always been an impeccable source so if he say's it's sand, it's sand until proven otherwise.

Dra--- Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I think those who don't like brown are, for the most part, an older group of fans who remember some of the uglier versions of the brown and gold, and the lack of respect for the Padres in general which is unfortunately associated with brown (the color of excrement or tacos). And yes there were a few bad ones, but also quite a few that looked great: like the ones in my avatar. But since retro became a popular concept, I think brown and gold has popular and local support. However, this older group of San Diegans/MLB fans likely have more disposable income, and this perhaps carries more weight than number of fans. They may be more likely to purchase season tickets, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that among friends my age (b.1960ish) who grew up in San Diego rooting for the brown Padres, there is a special connection and love for the team in that color. For me it's especially so with the brown/yellow/orange since that was the look for our first World Series. I always figured it was more the younger crowd who never really knew the Padres in brown that didn't like it. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly older pole who grew up with the PCL Pads and those born in the 80's and later tend to favor blue. I mean first time I ever saw them they were wearing the '91 style unis. They've always been a blue team to me. They went to the first WS I remember wearing that uni. I equate brown with being bad as they pretty much always were for all but that one WS year in '84.

The_Admiral Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I loved the Padres in navy/sky/sand, and I would love them in brown/gold done right, but please just commit to one or the other and stick with it for the long run. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rj0498 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I like the Padres in navy and gold but a change to brown would actually help their identity a lot though I have always wondered why people don't like the navy and gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown is the original color of the MLB Padres and was unique to the team in the league. - Gold appears dark, cold, stuffy. By contrast yellow is bright, cheery and more in keeping with the feel of San Diego So whereas I too like Navy/Gold for Notre Dame (historic, mid-west, etc.), as some one who grew up in San Diego I just don't feel those colors represent the city or mascot in any way.

I hope the team, with the firing of Mike Dee, can do another positive thing and bring back the brown full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryland teams love the state flag too much and feel the need to put it, in some way, on every uniform. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroywen Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Pads in navy and gold. And so it seems the brown-and-gold remains just a dream... Unrelated observation: those contrasting backs are going to look terrible, especially the Royals' contrasting white back. Thankfully I doubt these tops will be seen all that often.
