coco1997 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hi everyone, I think most people were satisfied with the Padres' 2020 redesign and their long-awaited return to brown and gold. However, after seeing these recent photos of Manny Machado in a Tony Gwynn throwback jersey, I wanted to experiment with what the Padres' current set would look like in their '70s brown/gold/orange color scheme. I also dropped the pinstripes and added a gold front paneled cap for the home and alt: PADRES HOME: PADRES ROAD: PADRES HOME/ROAD ALT: Not necessarily arguing that this is better than what they wear right now, just different. C&C appreciated! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C&C appreciated! The alternate really looks great! The home and road have too much orange for me in proportion to the other colors. Great idea!

I was basing the color balance off those '70s unis, but here are the home and road set with yellow scripts and numbers: PADRES HOME: PADRES ROAD: I suspect this will be a bit more to your liking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Small tweak: The sleeve stripes are brown/orange/gold and the pants stripes are brown/gold/orange. Probably should be one or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Yellow Flag Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I like this a lot more than I thought I would when I opened it, though I agree with Steamroller about the striping. Would also consider bringing back the pinstripes, though mostly because I like them. Good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye15 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 The update with the orange limited to outlines is great. And the way you incorporated orange into the friar logo, by simply recoloring the bat orange, is great. That move simply improves the logo even if your task wasn't adding orange to the Padres color scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilSox Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I could definitely see those alts working. I definitely don't hate this set. I actually kind of like it. But I think what they have now is a modern classic and I'd rather they not muddy the waters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
