FiddySicks Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Wait, isn't Marty McFly somehow involved in all of this?Glad to hear that the Pads are ditching the good parts of their uni set and aren't fixing things like that awful bow tie word mark. Way to make the least relevant team in the league even more ignorable. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

EJ_Barlik Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The Pads are ditching their R2D2 gold road unis? Damn. I kinda liked them.C-3PO was the gold one. R2-D2 is blue, white and silver.My bad. Never really got into the Star Trek trilogy. Dude...you mean Lord of the Rings trilogy...Geez guys, get it right. It was the Godfather trilogy.I thought it was all about Alien Quadrilogy!I thought it was the "Friday the 13th" however-many-ology.The Land Before Time 1 through 24?No, no, no, that's not it at all...It was definitely the James Bond Duotriology 5-time Defending NL East Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delux247 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 ... and now every single MLB club has white-home / gray-away. Thank heaven for alternate jerseys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 ... and now every single MLB club has white-home / gray-away.Good. Every single club should also have their location on the grey jerseys, too.Speaking of, they're not changing that awful bowtie wordmark? Drat. I never liked that. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhero34 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 man the padres just cant help but be obsolete.....the sand gave them such a unique colour scheme i wish they didnt get rid of it completely and kept it as a trip colour or something...

The_Admiral Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 It's been pointed out how there are variations in road greys among the teams. Could they have perhaps gone with a "warm grey" or something in between standard baseball green-grey and khaki? That way, the base color is more in line with the sand in the color scheme without being so garish as the all-khaki outfit.And once again, the real accomplishment here is that the civilian uniforms are gone now. Now if only they would get rid of the camouflage uniforms and dedicate themselves to dressing as a baseball team 162+ days a year. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the teams that still wear their doubleknit greys have the original shades (ie NYY, HOU). Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowld Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 where is the new road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosrs1 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 where is the new road?So far there is no new road. Just stopped by PETCO Park on lunch and asked around. They've got the new "camo" uniforms and caps in the basement of the team store I was told (though they won't be for sale until opening day). But no new away unis. I'm starting to think whomever told us the sand was going away may have been mistaken. The sand along with the home plate style logo are still being prominently displayed all around the park (though admittedly MOST of the newer stuff is featuring the simpler SD logo).

bosrs1 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 From what I can tell these are better than in years past. I still wish they'd go for the more formal uni though.I have to say, I like them. They're very realistic when it comes to actually looking like the Marines do. For a team tied so closely to the military it's a very fitting tribute when you consider most soldiers wear that camo daily, not their dress blues.
