larrypep Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 The San Diego Padres AAA affiliate Tucson Padres unveiled their uniforms yesterday:http://www.gaslampball.com/2011/3/15/2053608/tucson-padres-unveil-uniforms-and-caps-while-i-wonder-if-a-moreCap with retro Swinging Friar:Home, Alt, and Road uniform. Note the Alt uni is simply old threads donated by the parent club (not sure if they'll go with the green SD caps as depicted here though):Official statement from the club:http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110315&content_id=16970702&vkey=news_t549&fext=.jsp&sid=t549 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosrs1 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Are the Padres really this cheap?How do you mean? If you're referring to the military jersey, there's a long tradition of MLB teams handing uniforms down to the AAA level or below to save both money and to put old uniforms to use. In this case it's only for an occasional use military uniform so I don't see an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifthandlaurel Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 The hats depicted in The Show were better. Those jerseys are fine, but the hats are just awful.Maybe I'm looking for something that's not there, but did they actually replace the "Padres" script on the bat to say "Tucson?"

The T-Pads uniforms are great other than the cap. It should have a big "t" on it. Simple yet effective. Not the big team's secondary logo with Tuscon written on the bat.

The colors and the old script look great, and I've always loved the camouflage uniforms.

AJM Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Love the jersey script...overall everything looks good. I would personally rather see the Toros, but this Padres identity fits.

Buster Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Those are nicer than the major league Padres' jerseys.Agreed, even in this incorrect color scheme, the MLB Pads would look infinitely better in their minor league affiliate's uniforms than their own.Is #55 in the white home jersey drunk or just very sleepy?

You'd think they could add orange instead of silver to the navy to pep it up a bit. This looks like they didn't have a color printer in house.

Frylock Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 RIP Portland Beavers (again)Agreed. I did find it a bit ironic, if not just a bit amusing, that the home uniforms will make their debut against the Salt Lake Bees... AKA, the prior Portland Beavers who relocated to SLC in 1994.Yes, only a Portland sports fan would catch that... And care ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJM Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 What happened to the Tuscon Toros?Toros are taking 2011 off. This was announced around the time it was released that the Portland Beavers would be moving to Tucson (playing @ TEP).I guess they did not want to conflict, which is stupid because the Beavers/Padres could play at TEP and the Toros could play at Hi Corbett.

FiddySicks Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Isn't this team only supposed to hang around Arizona for one season before heading for California? Why would the Pads spend more than necessary for a team that will have to change again next season anyway?
