PadreHomer 52 Posted November 10 Seems to be one of the home camos 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sodboy13 4,531 Posted November 10 I've never cared for road pinstripes, so that's a no from me. Everything else seems really nice, though. The shade of sand seems a lot closer to the '69 roads, and not nearly as urine-like as the '04 look. Everything seems like it's well thought-out and balanced, the shades of the colors work great together, and even though I preferred the '00s Swingin' Friar to this retro version, it looks fantastic here in that gleaming gold circle. Hopefully a hat with a gold front panel is soon to follow. I can't believe this team slogged along anonymously in navy and white for as long as it did. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henburg 714 Posted November 10 Seriously, kudos to the Padres for at least deviating on the MLB standard look a little bit. This new look has character and appeal, which is something this team hasn't had in a long time. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly one will be patterned after the Marine Corps digi-camos. I'm wondering if the other will be the green Navy digi-camo since the Navy recently phased out the 'blueberry' uniforms. Here are the two hats. The left is the primary cap. The right is the alt cap that goes with the military uniform. Not sure the color translates here but the military hat has a less reddish shade of brown. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DG_Now 10,261 Posted November 10 It looks great! Given San Diego's history, this uniform is really only a success if they're still wearing this basic setup in 5-10 years. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aawagner011 1,642 Posted November 10 The road pinstripes set is way too good to only be the alternate. I might even go as far as to say it’s the best of the bunch. It’s the combination of the brown and yellow paired with the sand (which is the perfect accent to pair with those colors). The pinstripes look great on the road, which is tough to do. This is a great update. I’d say it’s near the Blue Jays level. Hopefully Milwaukee knocks theirs out of the park, too. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They showed a five minute video before the show started, and Fowler said these are the uniforms they plan on wearing for a long time and the ones they will be remembered for after their championship. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
insert name 4,131 Posted November 10 It’s great! Almost perfect in fact. I do have some nitpicks (of course). They could use numbers in front. Jersey would benefit greatly with that. This might just be me but does PADRES look big? So far we’re 2 for 2 in the Nike era. Might be because it’s just a manufacture logo swap so far. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually kinda like the home, particularly the edging on the sleeves and collar. The sand away is almost a grey sand which I can appreciate as a deviation from the norm, but not a big one as it almost looks grey. And they actually improved the old Friday alt as the new away which is nice. And best of all the taco bell cap is dead as it belongs as it is a putrid piece of crap. Interested in what the second camo cameo will look like since it’s now confirmed the first is the USMC as before. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BellaSpurs 2,575 Posted November 10 I don’t know what I’m more surprised by, the Padres making good uniforms, or Nike not ruining a brand (same with them not ruining the dbacks) 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coco1997 2,684 Posted November 10 I wish the brown jersey either used the PADRES wordmark or the SD monogram, but overall I’m thoroughly impressed with this redesign. Nice job, Padres! Tough act to follow for the Brewers! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ark 2,073 Posted November 10 The only problem I have with the unveiling is that the uniforms are way too loose. They would look so much better if they were more like this 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
