Could it be that the Pads will be *wearing* these prototypes soon?! I doubt it. He's got access to these museum pieces (heck, he even tweeted out a black-and-white version of that friar logo about a year or two ago). He did say "Now that the cat is out of the bag". And that looks like it may have been printed, not stitched as we'd expect a 1985 patch to be. Compare: The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I only know because of Baseball Tonight showing off the uniforms when they talk about it, the usual home whites and away grays with the all-star patches. This leads to something interesting I don't think has been discussed yet. Apparently to make up for bilking the American League teams by choosing National League hosts a bunch of years in a row, they're still going to rotate the home team. The American League will be the home team at PETCO Park this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Wind of Doom Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I think Miami is next year and Washington the year after that, making it four years in a row with Cincinnati last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That friar sleeve patch is interesting, but I'm thankful they didn't go this direction. Orange pinstripes on grey? Yuck. Honestly, I don't think it's that horrible. I know the jersey itself wouldn't fly today but I think that wordmark and number font would still look good together if used today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Wonder what the cap would have looked like. That friar logo is awesome. Love that style. Doesn't go at all with the jersey though. Could be the base of a great identity, but it's like the Padres couldn't make up their mind what they wanted so they did a little of everything.

Correct. I feel as if 2019 should go to Boston or maybe even Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That puts us in an odd position, though. With the National League being at home next year and American League the year after, 2019 would be the National League at home in an American League park. Might as well just give it to Wrigley already, even if the big anniversary passed. Then there's Boston, Baltimore, and maybe 12 years is a long enough gap to give it to the last new ballpark to not host one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they want to screw Wrigley over and give to Atlanta, which makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense, unless they do American League for two years and then get back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimore would make the most sense in the long run Boston had the game in 1999; Baltimore in 1993. Baltimore should be the first of the two and even Toronto (1991) should go before Boston. There's a lot of bad blood between MLB and Baltimore over the MASN regional network and The Nationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd both go first. Yanks won't get it till sometime in the 2020s. The Phillies also haven't hosted, but rumor is they're waiting for 2026 for the 250th anniversary.

They've put in $150 million in renovation and truthfully, the stadium has always looked brand new and yet last hosted an All Star Game in 1980. Stan Kasten has been pushing for one for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they upgraded the fancy seats behind home plate doesn't mean they've renovated. I'd rather see Fenway or Wrigley get another ASG before Dodger Stadium.
