JTernup Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Wow... Check out the jersey section of the padres shop. If I didn't know better I'd think they were changing their colors to Brown and Yellow again.Padres shopThey're not. It's far worse.So... They aren't just simplifying their current look?Assuming they are changing the script, will the camo jersey be changed to match that script, will it just be completely dropped, or will it be a new style of camo.

If you wanted a 2011 Pads jersey you're SOL on their site at least. I'm sure by tomorrow they'll have all the new jerseys up on the front page again.

I'm saying it's far worse than brown/yellow would be.It's actually simplified FAR too much. Such a loss of individuality in their new set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Courtesy of Gaslamp Ball...and Tom Garfinkel's Facebook page.Could mean absolutely nothing, but note that the shampoo script isn't on the current friar logo. It's also exactly what the Padres did with their AAA affiliate last season, only the bat said "Tucson."So the big script logo change is the removal of the tail?

It no longer screams shampoo even if it still hints at it. That and of course it's been minimized at least in the logo. I'm glad they stuck with the blue that the majority of their fans want rather than caving to the vocal minority as they called it. We need some stability in the Padres uniform sets.

The_Admiral Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 That can't be their primary. It's terrible. Say it ain't so. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Kinda silly that their logo has the team nickname on it twice, and in different fonts.Also, how does that friar not have a compound fracture in his ankle?

Lights Out Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Only the Padres could screw up such a clear-cut decision. Instead of fiddling with concentrations of sand and grey again, just get rid of it all, bring back brown and yellow, and never change the color scheme again. Simple.

Simple.Read the article, it's not that simple. The majority of their fans don't want brown back and are quite happy with blue. It's only a small but vocal minority who want brown back. This is a nice compromise between the blue and brown eras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 So they'll make their color scheme blander, and revert to a logo that's far less professional-looking than one they already had, but grossly underutilized. Makes sense to me.

powersurge Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 If the Padres are thinking of an identity change and they are not considering bringing back the brown and yellow and or orange into the mix they are completely missing a perfect opportunity to differentiate themselves from all other ball clubs in terms of identity. The whole "navy" thing has run its course IMO. They've now tried it TWICE. move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason why the "non-vocal majority" are against brown/gold is because they are scared that they will end up with something like this:Meanwhile, the "vocal minority" want brown/gold back in a tasteful way like this:It's all about proper execution of the brown.
