Padres considering new uniforms in 2011.

[oddball]

This is kind of one of those ColorWerx questions. I'm curious if today's road fabric color is the same as the originals.

[TruColor]

I like the current colors that they use, what I hate is the script "Padres" and road "San Diego" along with the friggin' cutesy serif numbers. I hate cutesy numbers. Use either the of the fonts in the 80's and they'd look good. By the way, were the road uniforms more yellow when they were first introduced? I swear they've gotten lighter over the years.

It's supposed to match this color:

But who knows what is actually being used...the more I learn about this stuff, the more I come to realize that standards don't mean anything.

I guess you can count me in the minority when I say that the Padres shouldn't change a thing. Their current look is very representative of San Diego. I could see the Padres getting a powder blue alternate road uniform with their current graphics -- powder blue is, after all, part of the team's current color palette.

I know the new Padres ownership isn't fond of the current look, they want to move away from the "home plate" logo and prefer just the simple interlocking SD. I could see them changing.

I hope they go with that brown/yellow look from the 70s. Very unique in a MLB that is awash with blue and red(more than half the teams have blue or red in their color scheme).

Oh, and here's the Textile color that I think the Padres are using:

I agree go back to the original look.

Hacksaw Hamilton metioned it last week and im hoping that Brown and Orange make a comeback.

Wait!!! Good ol' "Butterknife" is still on the air?! Good for Lee.

I think the Padres actually got it just right on the first try, and have been going downhill ever since:

Gorgeous, distinctive color scheme. It works better with two colors, before they added orange, which made the whole thing garish.

seconded! i'd sign on for this set in a heartbeat.

I'll give it a third. When I think of the Padres in brown and gold, this set never comes to mind. But if that combo was used this way, I could absolutely see it returning. (I don't mind DustDevil's idea of modifying their current set with brown, either.)

I'll give it a fourth. I've loved these from day one.

Fifth! Simple and classy. Not a bad thing in baseball. Especially with the two-toned stirrups.

Since I'm a Cubs fan I can't really get behind the Gwynn-era McDonald's uniforms, and I never much cared for the brown-orange that followed. I did, however, like the All-Star Game-era with the blue and Orange, especially the understated road set with the drop-shadow.

LOL Yeah hes on XX 1090 in San Diego weekday from 3-7.

The Padres might be considering new uniforms for next season but the Washington Nationals are going to completely overhaul their uniforms for 2011.

[Lights Out]

I'd like to see them use either of those looks. Very distinctive in today's MLB while still paying tribute to the team's history.

[jimbojohnny56]

the 80's Tony Gwynn unis are way better than the earlier versions.

No. This set is clearly the 2nd worst in Padres history behind the all yellows. It's just one step above or is that below what they currently wear.

Thank you for not quoting all of those pictures for a 5th time

I actually like the Padres current set, and have never really understood the love for the brown/yellow look (with the exception of the 1969 version posted here). Their current identity isn't super original/stands out a ton, no, but it's classy-looking. I'd dump the blue alt and call it good.

I'd love to be a P.A.D.R.E. (Piss And Doody Resembling Ensemble).

I agree about not really liking the brown/yellow look. I'm not really a fan of the color brown in general to be honest, so that might be it, but I just think that color combination is pretty garish.

That was posted as a "tweak" on Uni Watch a while back, and I'm in love with it. I think San Diego could honestly pull off a sky blue-ish road uni.

[Kevin W.]

Wow, that is unbelievably awesome. I would love to see them wear powder blue.

Count me in the group that doesn't want them to change. I hate when teams change on a spur of the moment and the current uniforms haven't been around for long enough to justify a change.

I'm sold! What's not to like? Regular block letters, and the road cap has a gold crown and a brown bill.
