NJTank Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I wish they would use the friar as the primary, and I would love a return to brown and gold. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosrs1 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Kinda wish they'd replace sand with an athletic gold.At that point, replace navy with brown and you've got a true winner. Either would be better than this.JEEZUS... that's awesome.Sure it's ok for a logo, but then you have to put it on a uniform... which so far has yet to be done tastefully.

And they were the best of the bunch. They got progressively worse until the yellow of the late 70's which were enough to make someone gouge their eyes out. Then they got a tad less vomit inducing going into the early 80's until they decided they wanted to look like the Giants mated with the Yankees.

Obviously, in your opinion, the brown and gold isn't good, but there are a lot of folks on this board who strongly diagree. And, like it as a uniform or not, I'd certainly like it if you could explain exactly how the 69 set isn't "tasteful".

Creme colored home jersey which just looks like it's just look like dirty laundry, home whites should be white (like the current ones). The away isn't as bad but I'm not a fan of the sandy color either (away jerseys should be grey). Plus with the away it again comes across more like a dirty shirt than any particular "statement" color. That said the 69's aren't awful. They were definitely the best of the brown jerseys the team wore, but that's less because they were great and more because everything that followed was so bad until the 90's. But then it's not exactly fair, the 90's unis were the best they've worn to date even if I am a fan of the current ones as well.Anyway I'll just be happy that the owners, staff, players, and apparently majority of fans agree with me and be happy. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7214149/san-diego-padres-update-uniforms-piping-block-letters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are white home uniforms. Flannel fades, through time and washing, and that one is over 40 years old. Those were never intended to be cream-colored. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

McCall Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Couple ways they could've easily kept the same design, and just change or tweak the colors:Btw, I tried to recreate the older khaki roads and not the previous sand color. Doesn't look great, I know.(On the navy set, there IS a sand outline around the SD on the caps) Â Â https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 All flannel home uniforms were slightly cream colored because they couldn't accurately make white jerseys until they went to double-knit in 1972. They were supposed to be white. I agree that stark white looks best most of the time, as outside of the Giants, the cream color comes off as gimmicky. Creme wouldn't look bad for the Padres, but I prefer white because it would be farther from the khaki-ish shade I would prefer the roads to be (just as the ones used in 1969).

bosrs1 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 (On the navy set, there IS a sand outline around the SD on the caps)Nevermind I get what you were saying now. That's your interpretation of the new blue unis. Not bad actually. The brown is a nice attempt but it does reinforce for me why it would have been a mistake to go brown.

Doesn't look great, I know.(On the navy set, there IS a sand outline around the SD on the caps)I really dig both designs there, and you made the brown and gold work well on that design. Personally, I don't mind the fact that the current set has block numbers and am indifferent between block and the now-old number font, but you addressed the small nitpicks I had with the new uniforms by adding the friar to each uniform's sleeve and adding a sand outline to the road lettering and numbering. Either set you have there would be one of the top in the league. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job.Perfectly illustrates the greatness of the brown and gold for the Padres. Really shows how the same design can look so great in brown and gold and so meh in the boring navy and white. The Padres really missed a great chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 It's not perfect, I'm sorry. Recolors rarely are; such is the nature of a recolor. The smooth, wavy, ocean-y script doesn't look good in brown/yellow at all. I like the color palette in and of itself, but not as a recolor of a navy/sand design clearly intended to evoke the ocean. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C's Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I like the primary, but the friar is such a stupid logo. Why do they keep using that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
