MCM0313 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 2 hours ago, Gothamite said: We’ll just have to agree to disagree. I think a color like brown needs to be paired with a bright, vibrant color. Gold is about the best. Bright enough to set apart from the brown, but still rich and bold. Although yellow would look almost as good as this does. That does look good. I'm cool a shade like that, with hints of orange, not far from metallic gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 That’s what athletic gold is. The same gold worn by the A’s, and by the Brewers on their throwback uniforms. Yellow with a little red added to it. I actually think a true yellow would look good with brown, but bringing back the gold is far more likely. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Cardinal/gold/brown would definitely be distinctive. I not aware of the PCL club ever wearing it. But it would look good. And be good call on the SD flag. This is also a fantastic color scheme.

This is also a fantastic color scheme. That's a great color scheme, and in a vacuum, it'd work really well for the Padres. The only issue is that it would be yet another color scheme in the Padres' history, and that's the absolute last thing they need. For a team with so much branding confusion, adding in a red-and-gold scheme (gorgeous though it may be) would only add one more set of hats and jerseys to the crowd. The Pads really need to just embrace brown and gold fully. It's probably their only way past the branding mess they've gotten themselves into.

OnWis97 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 And they would probably add black or blue to that, which I would not like.

SFGiants58 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I’m just surprised navy/orange wasn’t more liked. Remember 1998, the first bits of sustained success for the team, and the latter half of Tony Gwynn’s career?

Brian in Boston Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I've long felt that the Padres should pair the brown from their past with the powder blue and sand/tan hues that they utilized in their branding package between 2004 and 2011. I think brown as the primary color, powder blue as the secondary color, and sand/tan as the tertiary/accent color would be both unique and attractive. I'm still a fan of the ideas that graphic designer Dane Storrusten came up with for updating the San Diego Padres' look I loved the color palette Storrusten chose to work with: deep brown (calling to mind a Franciscan friar's habit), golden tan (emblematic of sandy beaches), and a blue somewhere between powder and teal (representing the Southern California sky). The font - especially as featured in the "SD" ligature that he created - struck me as being evocative of the Spanish Mission Period in Alta California. As I recall, he came up with a pair of caps, one of which featured golden tan contrasting front panels. Personally, I'd like to see the road uniform rendered in khaki instead of grey, with blue lettering and numbering outlined in brown. Other than that, I think Storrusten's concept would be a brilliant look for the Padres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the Pads wear 1235 at first but switch to true yellow by the time of their 1984 NL title? The yellow looks very...well, yellow. Whereas the OG Padres from the '70s almost look like they're wearing Volunteer orange as a secondary. Or maybe it's difference in photographic equipment or the difference perceived when orange comes in as the tertiary color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a long time ago I took a stab at a possible rebrand using those colors...I don't think I ever posted the cardinal-primary version, however.

I can think of no more scathing indictment of the Padres' 50 seasons of nominal existence than that.

They were beautiful and individualized the Padres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
