He might not have seen more than unfinalized prototypes. 2. What's wrong with this guy thinking about uniforms in his decision making process when he's potentially about to set up his family and his future grandkids financially for life? 3. How awesome is it that this guy is thinking about uniforms in his decision making process when he's potentially about to set up his family and his future grandkids financially for life??? Maybe Manny is a little bit of a uniform junkie like most of us? That's a cool thought. Brown uniforms weren't historically popular with Padres players. Tony Gwynn referred to the color of one set as "baby poop brown". Machado probably just wanted to be sure it didn't look like crap (pun intended). 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony’s dislike of brown has always been a prime reason I hate it.

the admiral 26,688 Posted October 10, 2019 Another thing Tony Gwynn hated was not dying of self-inflicted cancer. I'm shoving a beach ball of tobacco into my mouth, guy almost hit .350 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony is one of my five favorite MLB players that never wore a Twins uniform. But he was WRONG on this. Wrong! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eyes and TV cameras will shift to the man known in San Diego as Mr. Padre, the aforementioned Tony Gwynn. Trust us, he'll be smiling. "I'd love it," said the .338 career hitter, first-ballot Hall of Famer and Padre for all 20 of his major league seasons. "That's how we started, with brown. I'd love to see brown." ... "Brown is part of who the Padres are," said Gwynn, who wears black and red these days while coaching baseball at his alma mater, San Diego State, "and it's definitely unique in baseball, because no one else has brown. How many teams have blue? How many have red? But none of 'em have brown." https://www.espn.com/blog/playbook/fandom/post/_/id/6400/time-is-right-for-padres-to-bring-back-brown 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I associate the team with the 90’s unis as that was what I first saw them in. Still their best look to date. Also hearing pinstripes are at least back. Though I’m hearing they tweaked the SD on the cap to make it a little more “wavy”... whatever that means. No word on if it’s the USMC or USN camo (or both) continuing on. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
