(probably)notabandwagonfan Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 A day ago I thought to myself "hey, San Diego is an amazing place, why don't more players want to go there?", but now I know the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hey, I like the bowtie script! It's a shame that it hasn't been on a good uniform since 2010. Other than that script, this team just looks so nondescript, so bland and taste-free. There's so much potential for vibrant color and liveliness, but instead we have dull crud that misuses the 2004-present font and looks invisible when compared with the rest of the league. This is worse than the Diamondbacks, because at least the Diamondbacks showed a degree of effort and tried something different. The Padres, meanwhile, made no effort and simply stripped down an already simplified set. The Padres merely exist to fill 81 dates at a beautiful outdoor venue in San Diego, and that's the most that can be said of them from a visual and competitive perspective.

Shame, i rely liked it, it was the only uniform which highlighted the double piping that they use. at this point, it's clear they're just throwing at the wall to see what sticks, problem is that they're doing it while watching the paint on the wall dry. If you can't choose an identity, go the soccer route and unveil one every few years,but for the love ofG-d try to make it interesting. I dunno, switch yellow for orange on last year's uniforms. Or try brown and sand, or brown and metallic gold, if you really are afraid of stupid piss and poop jokes. Or even go outside the box with brown and light blue, or directly copy the chargers colors, or try navy, orange and yellow like the Taco Bell set but with navy. All of these sound better than going with navy/white No the navy alt has been retained. The '91 style uni has also been retained for Weds. Both camo were retained. And the Friday brown was retained. The only changes were to the home and away uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnPheitseog Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'm a huge blue and gold guy for the Padres, so I'm disappointed. They had something really good going, and now it's gone. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uglybus Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 If candy buttons were a sports franchise, they would be the Padres. Nobody likes them, and they have potential that they refuse to tap.

Dra--- Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 So Dennis Lin from the SD UT was right that the Padres would cut the yellow and streamline the look. Just very few of us were willing to think this meant white/blue/grey. Unbelievable. What a huge let down. If the Padres are going to be bad, at least they can do so while retaining their identity. Lin also said that MLB was pushing the Padres to streamline. So for some reason, MLB wants the Padres to look terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 If MLB wanted them to streamline, maybe they meant streamline down to one home, one road and a maximum of four alternates?

In turn Grandpappy Selig made a call to Manfred to stop the Padres from invading their colors and the Padres folded up like a wet paper towel.

tp49 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 These uninspired uniforms in San Diego managed to include probably my biggest pet peeve when it comes to baseball jerseys which is putting the cap logo on the sleeve as a patch. It's so uninspiring and unoriginal and oh so Padres. Padres gonna Padre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
