Silver Shamrock Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Like someone else mentioned, it was the Padres for me. I got on board in '83 when I was 13. My Mom has been a long-suffering Pirates fan, and Dad is a Dodgers fan. I watched both of those teams throughout the late 70's because they were both usually very good, and were in the post-season a lot.Anyway, I felt like I liked those teams, but I needed my own team. Got introduced to the Padres, and although I loved Tony Gwynn and Garvey, Nettles, Gossage, Carmelo Martinez, Benito Santiago, etc. it was the colors and uniforms that got my attention. Brown, gold and orange just seemed so fitting Long story short, it has not been the same for me since they went to blue. I try to watch them these days, and I just feel like I could be watching anybody's team. I guess I could say that I follow them, but it's a love/hate relationship. Still love Tony Gwynn, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigers6884 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Even though I wasn't around for much of their existence, I became intrigued about the Montreal Expos and their history after watching some old baseball highlights. Flash forward to a couple of years later and I now own an Expos cap and root for their return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imawalkingcorpse Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I hate the new Buccaneers logo. Pewter was boring in 97, even more boring now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The ATL Falcons: winning over fans based on their uniforms whether it be the Dirty Bird era or the 2003 redesign (c.f. my original post). This makes me wonder whether there are any other teams in this thread that have won different people over for different eras of their uniforms. I absolutely love this uniform! My favorite one in the Falcons history!Mine as well, as long as the roads have the red numbers and socks.Those were absolute classics and just plain beautiful! though you can also argue that they helped to usher in the BFBS revolution in the 90's; kind of not a good thing when you think about it.
