Front Office Mandate: Fashion & Pride
The San Diego Padres have mandated through an internal memo that the "SD" insignia is the official brand of the organization, furthermore stating that all Padres employees must visibly wear the "SD" logo somewhere on their person. This is according to infallible beacon of true Padre knowledge of this world and all worlds, Darren Smith, and it applies to all Padre employees, from the front office on down. It's a good move, and for two reasons:
- Fashion: Everyone knows the "SD" logo is pretty much the most fashionable accessory around. It has that obscure mystique that is a key component of any cutting edge look. When you see someone wearing the "SD" insignia, you can be certain you won't find any onions tied to their belts.
- Pride: Employees should be proud of the company they work for. They also should not be able to escape their shame. Before, they could hide amongst us, spying on us, carefully noting what meals we consume most and how often we yawn between the hours of 4 and 7, but no longer.
This also applies to one Dave Winfield. This man has made numerous public appearances since this mandate, during playoff coverage and on MLB Network, and yet no "SD." Why no insignia, Dave? Your boss said you have to. Aren't you proud to be a Padre, Dave? You're also walking a very fine line, Dave, as you cannot be granted Prison-of-War rights under the Geneva Conventions in the event of your capture. I wouldn't want to find out what happens to the poor soul who is captured by Yankee fans not bound by international treaties.

Maybe they should be forced to wear a huge Friar logo

Not only is this a vote for SD
it’s a vote against The Friar and the P, hence the clearance on P Hats.

Agreed
Bye bye Friar….bye bye P….bye bye Sand jerseys….hello games at 7:11 from now on. That’s why these guys make the big bucks.

The Friar is my favorite...
and what I buy the most of. This is very disturbing if this means good bye. I guess we saw this coming with Garfinkel’s early comments about his dislike of term Friars.
Crappola!

They should be forced to dress as friars 24/7.

I like this move...
The SD is easily recognizable and looks good… timeless.

I love the SD
The Padres should hire me, I wear something with an SD on it every day!
Does that mean this thing is gone?:

I actually kinda like that logo.
Though I’m probably in the minority.

Well, you know, you couldn't get white onions at the time because of the war,
but the big yellow ones would go with the retro brown and yellow jerseys.

Yesterday at a Petco
I saw a dude with that(SD logo) tatooed on his neck. The loyal employees all need to do this.
by SanDiegoKev on Nov 4, 2009 4:10 PM PST reply actions 1 recs
real or fake?
Are you sure that the dude wasn’t wearing one of those temporary, stick-on-with-water, tattoos that we give out to the kids in the ballpark?
by 1ballparkusher on Nov 4, 2009 11:36 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Real
I’m sure it was real, and it was not brand new, so it was starting to fade abit.

Ugh
Who the hell would get the SD logo somewhere where everyone could see it?

Wow, I'm an idiot.
I meant that as a reply to TheThirdGonzalez’s comment. Sorry, I’m new here.

Nice.
