Padres DESERT camo uniforms

[Bearcats]

Pics to follow.

The green hats still have the New Era logo on them. They are also wearing green batting helmets.

Ugh. Glad I didn't watch tonight's game.

Well, we knew it was coming.

Replace the green graphics with blue, and this fits in with San Diego's normal color scheme.

That would look sweet.

I still like these the way they are though.

Dangit, beat me to it.

But, seriously, just use the road cap with those, and they would be perfect.

I like those desert-camo style unis instead of what the Pads usually wear.

These are one-game-only uniforms worn every season by San Diego to honor all the military personnel stationed in the city.

They need to use darker pants so the don't clash so much with the camo tops.

I like those desert-camo style unis instead of what the Pads usually wear.

Except they don't match the pants. And I agree, away hat would've looked good.

I personaly love these jerseys 5x better than the ones they wore before the uniform/logo change. It goes well with the sand colors, and it fits in a town that has a rich military history.

I love those unis. A fine way to honor the men and women of the armed forces... many of which are in San Diego, since that is a major military port.

...well, also props to them for going with green batting helmets too--usually teams do things like that half-assed...

Watching the game the signs were being confused among hte battery--no truth to the rumor its because of the camoflague...and is it just me or was it hard to spot their infielders last night?

[DGivens87]

Now these look much better than the ones they've worn in previous years...they actually somewhat match the team's color scheme. Once in awhile, it's not that bad...

The switch away from the old woodland camo is good. The switch to a desert camo the Army and Marines no longer use, not so good.

The Army now wears this single new camouflage for woodland and desert uses. It looks like this:

(Note that the old desert camo is still in use as the Army phases in the new uniforms, but the Army says that as of April 2005 all freshly issued uniforms are supposed to be the new kind.)

The Marine Corps uses its own set of modern camouflage, with different desert and woodland varieties. The Marine desert camo looks something like this:

I want to know exactly the same thing. That is sweet.

The new army unis are based off of Russian/Germany Army uniforms. The design is based off of 'bitmap' dots. My son is in the army and likes them very much. Much better than the old camo -but I still like the like old camos.
