NL West in 2006

EDIT: the Dads ran an acceptable operation up through about 2007, till Moores got divorced and the whole thing unraveled. Not sure why people are so hard on them.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Gah, just as I expected, completely half-assed. Awful redesign for the most irrelevant team in the league. They should just be contracted already.

What exactly makes them irrelevant?

I'm from California, even lived in Southern Cal for a bit, and if there's one team I have a hard time remembering more than any, it's them. This team is so boring it's maddening.

And really, why bother keeping the sand script outline on just the home set? How in the world is this better than what they just ditched?

So because you have a bad memory they're irrelevant... got it. Anything else you have a hard time remembering?

Yeah, any worthwhile accomplishment from the Padres.

I have a hard time remembering things that the Maple Leafs, Manchester United and pre-2008 Phillies have accomplished. I guess they're all irrelevant, too.

I think teams like the Royals and Reds are extremely boring, as well. Should they be irrelevant?

As well as two National League pennants, in 1984 and 1998.

ONE playoff win since 1998. Oh yeah, and they got to be the sacraficial lambs in a World Series twice. You're right, what a legacy.

5 division titles in 42 years.. They have more logos than division titles.

Being bad does not make one irrelevant. Ask the Giants how irrelevant the Padres were last year as they fought us up to the last day of the season to go on and win their first world series in 50+ years.

What is the point of all of this, "Padres are the least important team" talk? What does this have anything to do with their new uniform set? If you don't like the new uniforms, fine, but don't bash the team. This thread is supposed to be about sports logos.

That's essentially the point that I'm trying to make. They have potential to do great things, yet they ALWAYS phone it in. Uniform sets that keep getting worse, playoff runs that crash and burn, ect. They could do great things in a city as awesome as San Diego, yet never do. It's like protocol for them to just exist.

I dunno, that's just the way I've always seen the Padres.

And with all the money the Yankees spend, they should be winning the World Series every year.

Things happen. Poor front office decisions, poor trades, etc. And yet, the Padres have won the National League twice, been in the playoffs on multiple occasions and have a nice stadium. They don't seem to be any worse off than any other "irrelevant" teams such as the Royals, Pirates, Blue Jays, Marlins, Nationals, etc.

What colour is that outline on the home script? Whatever it is, I don't like it.

Eh, I thought they would be simple and understated, but there are just to many things wrong with them. I like the friar sleeve patch on the home, but the skyline patch on the home and alternate isn't doing it for me. Also, I still don't like that Padres font. It would have preferred a "PADRES" scrip[t in the same font as the road script. Plus that outline on the home script, which is terrible.

It's sand. They didn't kill it after all.

No sir, I don't like it. So close yet so far Padres.

I get all the time from my East and South Bay friends (415 & 650 FTW!). Anyway, the Padres underwhelmed me with their redesign, and unless the management actually listens to the fans, I will continue to be underwhelmed by their designs. But hey, at least they didn't go for the whole "technicolor splooge" look.

Apparently they did. They spent the last two years asking the fans and this is what Padres fans wanted by and large. Well that and a winning team.

But at least we can agree on that. The Marlins redesign should result in jail time for someone.
