SilverBullet1929 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Just browsing social media the other day I came across the Padres Instagram page and perused through it and was struck hard by how boring their color scheme is. They recently had their Fan Fest and just seeing all the plain navy and white uniforms and signage and everything was something else. It was weird because everything looked nice and professional and well designed except for one thing and that's the lack of color. Everything just looked "unfinished" from a color standpoint. They need a second color in there and I don't even wanna debate which 2nd color they need but they just need one ASAP. White is not an appropriate 2nd color, or at least not without a third color in there. Some examples... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The yellow the Padres had for the All-Star year looked great. They should've kept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans all want it, and the Padres are the dumbest, most tone deaf team in pro baseball. Rather than see them switch to brown, I'd be happier if they just contracted them entirely because they're utterly useless. Sometimes, I wonder if the NL should have just let them move to D.C. in the mid-'70s. At least them wearing navy/red would make sense in that city.

It's seemingly every year that we hear this. And you know what? Even though I don't like the navy blue and white color scheme... maybe actually sticking to it for more than 3 or 4 seasons would actually start endearing it to the fan base? It can be argued that the only thing worse than the Padres not having a better color scheme is them wanting to change their look every few seasons. Even if it's something I don't like personally, sticking to one look would make me respect them more. Does any other team in the modern era actually change their look more than the San Diego Padres?

shstpt1 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Not only sticking to the same color scheme, stick to the same look too. Their unis Change every other year to build up support. There’s no consistency. They finally got a Padres script for the home uniform to match that nice San Diego font, and then they screwed it up by going back to the bow tie font... it just doesn’t make sense. Also, I wish there was a full script Padres on the Navy jersey rather than the SD. It just doesn’t feel like it fits with the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me their "focus groups" only include fans between the ages of 25 and 30 and who are lifelong residents of San Diego, and therefore grew up watching Tony Gwynn and the marginally successful 1996/1998 teams.

Ray Lankford Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The current Padres ownership group hasn't done research. The owner admitted that the new uniforms were designed based on research the last ownership group did back in 2011 and have yet to start the new research that they keep talking about. Also, is this news? Haven't we known for a while that the Padres are stuck with their current look till 2020, based on league rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Atlanta's obsession with birds, they could opt for some kind of hawk... match the other two franchises in their city. I'm sure they could find a way to make it a "tribute" to Native Americans or something (like many other native identity-changing teams have done).

If there is a rule (and I don't remember there being one in baseball), every team's clock is reset in 2019. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
