tohasbo Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 As part of the Padres 2006 Promotional schedule, they will wear the infamous camouflage jerseys on April 22nd vs. the Mets and will be wearing the 1976 throwbacks on August 3rd vs. the Astros.

jojotarantino Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 From what I've heard, the camos will be the desert type this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernd Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Any chance they'll wear the brown away jersey instead of the home white? It's more evocative of the era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallWonk Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 From what I've heard, the camos will be the desert type this year.That's good news, since the tan will actually match the team's uniforms.But the Army is in the process of ditching its current camo in favor of a new design. The new camo uniform was introduced in April 2005 and will be used Army-wide by 2007. In addition, it has a single pattern, so no more desert and woodland versions, just the one design. New Army camouflageOn the other hand, the Marine Corps has new camo that comes in a distinctive desert version. But baseball players really shouldn't be dressing like Marines. If you want to dress like a Marine, look in the phone book under "Armed Forces Recruitment." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I actually like the Padres camo uni's. At least the reasoning for it. I am an Army veteran and I like that the Padres honor all veterans by wearing these uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korkie Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 They actually wouldn't look that bad with the tan pants. But I guess they will use the white ones since they are at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouj Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I like the idea of the traditional desert camo. It's a nice thing for the Padres to give a nod to the military, especially considering it's a big military town.And they only do it once a year. Let's not overreact. They might not be the visually appealing jerseys, but it's a noble cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernd Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Yikes.Bring back the 1986-1990 jerseys. For shame! You decry the classic '70s Pads look in favor of the little remembered '90 brown pinstripes?? Outrageous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COudl it be 1986 they are doing alot to celbrate 1986 this year.Oops read it wrong thought it said Mets will be wearing 1976 throwback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZzyzx41 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I think they're trying to find any reason to use throwbacks. First it was 1978 to honor their first winning season, then 1969 for their first season, then 1984 in the game against the Cubs (Cubs didn't reciprocate...shame on them), then old PCL unis last year, and this year 1976 for what...just to say "Hey let's wear what we wore 30 years ago. So I guess next year we'll see the 1987 uniforms cause that was 20 years ago.They're going to do the camo unis for one game every year from now on I believe. The last couple years they wore them with their road (tan) pants. Two games a year with different unis. The rest of the year it's the normal white, sand and blue.

Gamingboy Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I like the Military unis. San Diego has a huge concentration of military people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauly07 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I always liked that the Padres did the camo unis. Having them wear the desert khaki's will be nice, since you know, it matches their color pallette.But yeah, it's a good way to celebrate Fleet Week.
