SFGiants58 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Just get rid of Petcopark.ttf and I’m good. A better display font (with or without block numbers, I honestly could go either way) and no Taco Bell cap would be best.

AstroCree Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 But it’s Nike who’s making them in 2020. That doesn’t mean it’s gonna be a good uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Agreed. They can still screw it up, but if so it'll be equally on the club and on Nike. And considering the club is already making good first steps in bringing back the brown, it augurs well for their ability to work with Nike. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

PrimalCookie Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 We already know the three options Nike has for a home uniform - plain with the PadreS wordmark, pinstripes with the PadreS wordmark, plain with the SD monogram. Away may be a bit more adventurous, with the options being tan or apparently all-brown? Oh boy, we may be in for a ride with that one. But the thing is, the choices are being presented by the Padres - Nike is only producing them. Other teams may take advice from Nike on new looks, but in the end it’s the team’s decision to green light any uniform, no matter how much of an abomination it is.

BBTV Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 how come the unis shown to focus groups never seem to leak?

Looks like a '70s trucking company logo. Brown and yellow can look great together, but it's dicey and you walk a reeeeeeal fine line with making it garish. I think with those colors, you need to go as traditional and clean as possible. No pinstripes. Block font. No italics or anything like that. The inaugural set is perfect.

Yep and the caps they're looking at are brown with yellow interlocking SD or brown with interlocking white S/yellow D (not unlike the 2016 ASG caps).

The_Admiral Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I was thinking that it would be cool to do a cursive tailed script at home and then arched block lettering on the road. I usually want the primary scripts, if a team has them, to be in the same style (Braves, Athletics, Dodgers), but the Padres feel like a case where I'd like a split. I don't have any good reason why. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounding like if they do script on the unis rather than the cap logo it's going to be similar to the current wordmark at home. On the road they're supposedly exploring dropping "San Diego" in favor of "Padres". Which I'm not a fan of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be my preference, I think. I understand all the 70s looks that drove the Padres to choose brown and yellow again, but a modern update using historical cues would be good, in my book.

Why wouldn't you sell people stuff that says San Diego on it?

SFGiants58 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Shameless self-plug: It definitely needs a font that invokes the Mission-style/Gaslamp Quarter architecture.

SilverBullet1929 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 So I'll be the first one to ask... are they gonna completely drop the camo unis or are those gonna still be in the uniform rotation somehow? I think the best way to make this transition is to go 100% brown with no navy blue or camo alternates muddling up the identity but I find it hard to believe that they're gonna drop the military appreciation gimmick cold turkey.
