Even the White Sox ditched their royal blue seats and walls for dark green to what they thought would "add character" to their park. And navy is also a neutral color.

The Padres really made an ass of me! I think they've made it work! The shampoo script is long gone, while the letters have been modified enough to not have the "ocean colors only" look. I'd have loved an entirely new font, but the updates really allow it to work. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the “San Diego” they had on the road jerseys for a couple of years before they inexplicably reverted to the Bow tie. Like the uniform size.

hawk36 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I'd hope it's slightly less bold to better match the SD on the cap. That was one thing that bugged me about the current browns is that wordmark was just so bold, add to it the white outline, and it's just too much.

LaJolla Archon Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Just now, bosrs1 said: Definitely looks less bold than the old one Agreed and I think its because the letters are less angular and fat/wide. They have made the letters both skinnier and rounder and it helps a huge amount. I think the stubbiness of the old logo is why the P and S had to be larger. It made the whole think out of balance and not look right on the jersey...particularly the brown one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 They've updated the new font so well that it makes the old one look like a knock-off of the new one. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Was not a fan of the white outline on the most recent brown jersey. I think removing that will drastically improve the look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my favorite Padres uni by a long shot (that will always be the ‘90’s blue pinstripe uni I first saw them in)... but it’s the best brown uni they’ve ever worn by a mile. And better than the most recent uni set for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaJolla Archon Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Reliable sources indicate that there is in fact trimming on collar and sleeves. We shall see though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I like that. I like how it's "the right colors" and pays homage to their history while still managing to give a slight nod to the most recent blue and navy sets as well. Like it feels like a natural transition between the last uniforms to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no this is not an excuse to say they should not use brown and yellow. I love the brown and yellow but being someone that has been to Petco it is blatantly obvious on how they tied the construction colors into the uniforms at the time. Time will tell once the seats have been bleached by the California sun into a weird blue that sticks out even more against the brown than navy on a day when people don't show up to the park. the seats were originally, and fairly far along into the planning process, going to be baby blue.

coco1997 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Seeing that mockup, I think I'd prefer the colors on the wordmark be flipped, but at this point I think I'm still going to be happy either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose the pinstripes and use a cream instead of white material and it’d be solid. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
