The Six Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 The original brown was pretty clever. Now they've willingly sunken into the purgatory of the navy blue hat universe. The road jerseys are the only thing I'd keep. Those are pretty good, and I appreciate doing something other than grey. The rest, they should just go back to vaguely resembling actual missionaries. I will pray for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I remember reading that last year, but I enjoyed it again. The timeline was missing a couple looks. I wonder how long they will stick with what they have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korkie Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 My favorite was always the navy and orange look. Those colors look great together. Those are followed closely by the brown and orange pinstripes that preceeded it. I know it was duplication, but I love how the Padres and Giants had the SD and SF logos on their road jerseys.

The_Admiral Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 If they absolutely have to go back to brown, at least let it be the brown and yellow of the inaugural Padres, and not the Taco Bell uniforms of circa 1984. At least the lettering on the '68 jerseys was pretty neat. I still think it's too dated a color palette for a pleasant and contemporary place like San Diego. Sky/beach/ocean colors represent San Diego well enough. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 If they embraced the beige, they'd be laughing; a completely different, darker shade of khaki or sand or whatever it is they use for the road unies would work miracles.Royal, beige and athletic gold. Think about it. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Wouldn't mind seeing them go back to this oft-forgotten set.The scripts were far better than the original Taco Bell uniforms. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerBadger Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 At the risk of being accused of mere colorizing (feel free to spit on your own graves) ...Home logo, plus ...... road look (i.e. no pinstripes on top of gray/beige/sand) ...... with white, gold and brown jersey choices. Orange -- or at least the orange used in the '80s -- is probably too close to gold.(Side note: Since the Krocs owned the Padres, I wonder why they didn't go to black, gold and red -- McDonald's colors, yet relatively close to brown and orange.)

illwauk Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 The backlash against the pull-over era forced a lot of teams from the 60s and 70s to squander away their distinct, organic identities for more "contemporary" (read: boring) ones. But the Padres also fell victim to the ridiculous anti-brown bias in the sports world. Why else would they choose not to wear a color they still own in the baseball world despite having not used it full-time in two decades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loogodude90 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I love Taco Bell....and I love brown and gold too.LMAO.I remember in the 90s "teal craze" the spurs went along with the taco bell craze colors of teal, hot orange, and pink, which were taco bell colors at the time. They went along with it so far as to have these colors on the court. Rumor is that, there was a jersey created to incorporate these colors, but David Robinson, the then star of the team, said he would refuse to play in such girly colors. For those of you who dont know, Robinson was a former Navy officer - so his reaction kind of makes sense - lol) WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAny restaurants went from mainly sporting brown/orange/red to featuring teal seats, purple doors, etc. They were just trying to catch up to the times.

I'm pretty sure the Fiesta Spurs colours were based off a :censored:ing fast food chain and not something cultural about the city. Are you hell-bent on trolling every forum on here?

AkSaber Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Something else about the old uniforms I like was that they didn't wear belts. The striped waistbands (or whatever they are) have always looked really nice to me.Plus, they're something different to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
