Padres Baseball needs a new slogan

by jbox on Feb 27, 2009 10:29 AM PST

The Padres have had some good slogans in the past. I'm hoping they get one this year after not having one in 2008. Myself, I'm partial to the religious ones, they are always pretty clever.

Former Padres slogans have been:

"Keep the Faith"
"Catch the Excitement"
"Taking You There"
"Play Downtown"
"On a Mission"
"Experience it!"

Here's some ideas:

"Pray for Us"
"Now we're cooking with Friar"
"We're going to need a Miracle"
"Blessed are the meek"
"Knock back a 40"
"Fo'ty Fo Sho Mo Fo"
"Believe it!"
"Stranger things have happened"
"The Last shall be First"
"How do you spell belief? P-A-D-R-E-S"
"Believe that you are experiencing it!"
"The Friar will convert you"

I used a random slogan generator to get this one:

Feel free to suggest some of your own. Maybe the Padres can actually use one of them.

My quick list

“Baseball never actually smelled quite like this”
“Padres Baseball – So thick, you can taste it through your nose”
“Smell the fever”
“Get a whiff of what we got here”
“Tasty tasty, tan and pasty”

Also

Padres Baseball – Somebody probably needs to carry us through the sand and leave behind only one set of footprints.

I like that

that one is awesome

if you guys made a shirt with that on it, i’d def buy it =P

“Fo’ty Fo Sho Mo Fo” it took me a while to read that. it’s a tongue twister. I still really like the whole “experiencing it” thing though.

"i kinda feel like nevin and klesko were some fling we (the padres) had in the past and now realize were a bad idea and are embarrassed about."

At least we’re not a sequel

i did the slogan thing

and the first 2 were
“Savour The Flavour of The Padres”
“I’m Not Gonna Pay A Lot For The Padres”

I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

Slogan

Padres: It is what it is

Winfield goes back to the wall. He hits his head on the wall -- and it rolls off! It's rolling all the way back to second base! This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman

I like this one

It’s akin to the old “Hey, it’s baseball” slogan the Padres had with the two dudes sitting in the empty bleachers watching a game.

I like it

It has that ambivalence we all feel.

I fookin HATE that saying

my ex-boss (slash c__t) used to use it all the time whever he had a situation, personal or professional, that he was too effin’ lazy to get off his fat arse and fix.

It fits perfectly!

"San Diego Padres"

“Hey, at least we don’t play in Chavez Ravine.”

We've all experienced those delirious moments where one thing leads to another and you find yourself at the end of the night messing around with sheep. It's something we all have in common. -jbox

Maybe something to do

with waves or water given the close proximity to the ocean.

2009 Padres. The Tide is Turning.
2009 Padres. Waves of Change.

or something to do with the youth movement?

2009 Padres. A New Age Begins.
2009 Padres. Attitude is everything.

Bottom line is you’ve got to get people to turn the page. Everyone wants to forget 99 losses. Out with the old. In with the new. Change. We actually just saw how powerful this message can be with the Obama campaign.

by The Kipper on Feb 27, 2009 3:37 PM PST reply actions

I really likes "Waves of Change"

It sends a positive message and fits in with their branding.

I agree that they need something to use as a rallying cry, to project a positive image in the community.

It can’t get any worse, right?
