Padres reveal new Digital Camouflage Jerseys

by jbox on Jan 25, 2011 1:00 PM PST

As promised the Padres introduced their new Digital Camouflage Jerseys today at a Military Appreciation Luncheon. It's kind of hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like the Padres lettering is in the same color as the new caps.

Here it is- the #Padres new digital camouflage uniform, to be worn at all Sunday home games. @MLB http://yfrog.com/h0z4gjgjless than a minute ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®SDPadres

Here's the first look of Heath Bell, Nick Hundley, Mat Latos and Will Venable modeling the jerseys:

New uniforms make Padres' military tribute harder to see - SignOnSanDiego.com
The Padres’ use of the copyrighted MARPAT design was approved by the Marine Corps last year after Padres CEO Jeff Moorad met with then Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Conway during the Padres’ visit to Washington to play the Nationals. Also on hand were five Marines with the Wounded Warriors program.

Are they undershirts

or do these jerseys have a green collar?

That's right you can't, unless you're Army. Then, you can salute indoors too.

it's not the Blackberry's fault

It’s the jerseys. They are designed to look blurry because it makes even Hundley and Bell appear to be moving quickly. they got the idea from Venable, ‘cause he’s so fast, his jersey’s always blurry.

It looks better than I thought it would.

I really like the white outline and the SD on the right sleeve.

I’m inclined to think that they moved the flag to the left sleeve just so now a bunch of people who don’t know anything about flag etiquette can’t say “Derp; it’s facing the wrong way. Derp.”

The road grays from 1991 to 2003

were around longer than any other Padres uniform. For any fan who enjoys a modicum of image consistency, I don’t see how you can go wrong with them.

I was hoping that it wasn’t true. However if they’re sticking with the same home and alt blue jersey it’s obvious sand isn’t going away completely which is good. But I will miss the sand jersey.

I like it enough for a jersey that is going to be worn infrequently.

I am much more interested in the new road unis.

I like the grey accents more than the green.

Can’t wait to see the road greys tomorrow even though I’m a big sand supporter.

Not enough contrast between the lettering and the jersey

Yeah, yeah; I get it if they want to “blend in”, but…There’s no need for cover and concealment here boys! You’re not taking a hill (well…I guess the pitcher is)…but you get my point. Standard camouflage looks better than this on Jerseys. This just looks like…“Blah!”

And I like the switch to the road greys. I HATE the sand on sand look. It drives me crazy. But that’s just one of my little ocd tendencies at work, I think, haha

Even more reason to buy one

When replicas of the new camouflage uniforms become available in Padres stores, each will carry an official approval from the Marine Corps. A portion of each sale will benefit the Marine Corps Assistance Program.
