- Garfinkel says no radical changes for Padres uniforms
You might have be caught up in the Brown and Gold vs. Blue and Gray debate, or be offended that you've been called a "vocal minority" but this Tom Garfinkel quote is what caught my eye. I think I'm just as interested in this new program as I am in the new uniforms. For reals.we have another program that we're very excited about that celebrates and links our past with the present that we'll introduce tomorrow as well.

insidethepadres: Brown
I was at the USC / Stanford football game a couple weeks back and there was a guy sitting in front of me wearing a blue MLB hat. I was pretty sure he was a Brewers or Mariners fan and had to wait until he turned around to see that it had the interlocking SD logo to know he was a Padres fan. The lesson here is that when you wear Brown and Gold, people will not mistake you for any other fan. Tom Krasovic has it right:Any baseball team can wear blue or red. The daring and distinctive choice is brown. What can brown do for you, Padres? It's earthy vibe can set you apart from the pack, yet not seem a gimmick. Choose Padres brown, and connect to your funky past.

Tenth & Island: I'm in the "I'm In" campaign
This is a cool story of how a Padres blogger and season ticket holder teamed up with the Padres marketing department to become a star.Now, anyone in line for nachos had a 7ft picture of me staring at them. Scary!

PADRES: Team's audience drop in 2011 biggest in MLB
It shouldn't really surprise anyone that the broadcast rating dropped in 2011 by 41%. The winning percentage dropped a good amount and let's just say that Dick Enberg isn't exactly a draw. I really tried to tune into some of those games late in the season, but they were pretty much unwatchable after a few minutes. -
The Sacrifice Bunt " Are you saying "boo" or "Boo-rnes?"
The SacBunt thinks Byrnes has more in common with Towers than Hoyer, which isn't necessarily a good thing if you're the SacBunt. The most shocking part of this blog post is that he considered following another team after Hoyer left.

The best part about being a season ticket holder isn’t going to games
it’s showing everyone online that I did.

New logo looks great
And if they clean up last year’s look I’ll be thrilled. Nice to see the team finally stick with something overall. Also nice to hear I’m in the majority in liking winner blue over loser brown. Now if only we’d win a world series…
The way you phrase it
as “winner blue” and “loser brown” sounds like something Hacksaw would say. I’d say orange is our best winning color since it was present for both WS appearances. That doesn’t mean I want orange back, just sayin’.

I had a dream last night
that I was hanging out with Dex and he got a parcel in the mail containing a sneak preview of the new jersey. It was atrocious.

No, that would be beautiful.
This travesty had the same stupid recent wordmark with the sand stripped away and had thick, double piping running up the sleeves. Also, the fabric was really shimmery.
Amazingly, this was the least horrifying of all the vivid dreams I had last night. One consisted of getting yelled at and beaten up by my ex-girlfriend and at least two others involved trying to score junk but it falling through at the last minute and me vomiting a whole bunch.

I thought about this once
Then the thought of Drama making a cameo appearance would bring many FCC fines. I don’t think the Movember money pot can handle it.
Why ask a failed romance to come watch your successful one? You know, that's like inviting the Seattle Mariners to a World Series game. It's just weird for everyone.
There's always Cops.

So, Dex is the Tim Taylor gluing his head to plywood and shooting his foot with nail guns?
It might work…

The late season games I exclusivly watched on Gameday/listened to the radio
A terrible team is one thing to watch, but having it narrated by Dick Enberg is just adding insult to injury.

Dex and jbox already own the jerseys
Obviously, they just want to boost traffic on the site by stringing us along. Common tactic in their line of business. They’re even growing staches to look more dastardly.

the logo looks quite good.
especially along with the friar. its not quite the jewel of design that the late 80s bluejays logo was, but this logo is probably my favorite part of the new look.

Agree
Really like the logo

The Piping through the blue alternates, with the SD logo
looks really classic. I like it. The road greys it works, as the line essentially goes through the I, but, kind of messy. Hate what it does to the home whites. it looks as if the team name is being scratched out – its really cluttered.
Scowling at Padres Losses since 1981
I agree totally
I just tweeted the same thing to greekpadre about the home jersey. Makes it look like a swap meet jersey to me with the lines passing through it.

exactly
the vendor got a deal on white jerseys with blue trimmings, and slapped the script on it, regardless how it looked. I say drop the script and just use the interlocking SD- The opposite of the alternate

i like it but
i’m kind of underwhelmed. was really hoping for an end to th eshampoo bottle lettering…. or at least changing the “P” to something less cheeky.
by iheartyourfart on Nov 9, 2011 5:06 PM PST up reply actions
They killed the shampoo logo though
No more overdesigned wave. The font is still the same, but they’ve simplified it. No drop shadow.
The blue alternate is the best one in my opinion
Love how it looks.

I'm not a fan.
The only one I really “like” is the white. And the camo of course, but they didn’t really change that. I like the font on the grays better, but I still hate the gray.

I'd still take the sand over the grey, but I like the piping and that they fixed the awful bowtie font.
Actually not wild about the white. The text and the piping don’t work that well together.

would've loved the SD
On the camos but they’re nice. Now don’t change them for at least 15 years.

Agreed
Time for some continuity. If anything I must say it’s nice that while these overall improved our lineup, they didn’t go extreme. There is still some sense of continuity with the 2004-2011 sets.
does this mean that

True...
But the fact he’s still on the team at all makes me cry. Only thing he ever did that made me happy was hit that grand slam in the season finale.
I don't know if I like
How the piping just disappears into their junk.

That's kinda what piping does
And it’s not like it’s only on their shirts. They have piping on the sides of the pants as well.
garf hinted about more retro days in the article
does this mean throwback thursdays are making a comeback?

Might need to pick up a Blue Alternate Maybin jersey
Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts
I'm torn
I love the grey, but I also love the new white one. They’re both great. The new blue is ok but I prefer the old one there since it was my favorite jersey with the sand “Padres” on it.
the font looks almost like
a blown up version of the late 90s away jerseys, but without the orange trim. those are probably my fave away jerseys the padres have had and i don’t even like orange.
the away and alternates are my favorites from this new setup. the home and military jerseys have a lot of potential but still not digging the front script.
by iheartyourfart on Nov 9, 2011 9:38 PM PST up reply actions
my rundown
camo is the same as last year and it’s still awesome. especially the cap.
Away jersey fixed the bowtie lettering, but now it looks too simple and boring. Needs a drop shadow or something. Not a fan of the piping.
home whites. Not a fan of the piping.
alternate blue. OH MY GOD they ruined my second favorite jersey. ruined. I HATE one boob logos. One boob logos are for sleeveless jerseys and sleeveless jerseys are for lame teams like the rockies and dbags. Also, I’m not a fan of the piping. To top it off, they took away my second favorite hat. The all white interlocking SD hat was always textured wrong. The hat looked like it had yarn glued to the front. Ugh.
No they remain white, blue and sand.
Sand is still on the home jersey and very prominent on the home BP uniform.
lame
so disappointed. the friar logo is cool though
Oh! Sweet Nuthin'

You know what, even if you don't like the Padres new unis...
You have to admit their a hell of alot better than the crap poor Marlins fans are being fed today
Very cliche 1980's Miami Vice Miami
Not very real Miami.
