Gaslamp Ball It's not gonna happen, but it's PAINFULLY obvious that the SAN DIEGO PADRES should never have gone to blue: http://t.co/OeYnPT1N#F_CKWERNER

OK Fine. So maybe the Padres look OK in blue.

I love the logo too...
But look how Padres is spelled on the Bat… it has that swerve on the cursive Padres… its suspicious and shampooish.
Padres Fan.
It's not identical to the old "shampoo"
But then again it might just be a place holder if the rumored “PCL” style wordmark is part of the uniform redo.
i like it but
i’m continuing to adjust my monitor until the logo looks brown

Love it.
Nice mix of our winning blue (we were losers in brown) with the old logo. Looks like they’re doing something right after all :)
I never got this view
It’s not childish any more than a growling pissed off friar would be adult/professional.
Even if it was childish
It wouldn’t hurt for the Padres to have an appeal to children. If one of the efforts is to grow the fan base then one of the better long term solutions is “get ‘em while they’re young”. I would imagine that fandoms started in childhood are more lasting than any others (I admit though, I have no proof of that). Of course, how much a logo could affect that is entirely up for debate.

Yep.
Appeal to the kids with the Friar then give them dog tags and foam finger machine guns for giveaways until they’re old enough for war.

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.
GASP
That’s what the Padres logo looks like. THAT’S the logo. You know when they got rid of that logo? 1985. They get to the world series and they abandon the Friar. I for one am glad to see him back.
I'm calling it now
Padres to the series in the next 15 years (that’s how long it took them the last time this was the logo :) )
i read this as
padres in every world series for the next 15 years

Blue or Brown, who cares
As long as they use my idea of 100 % Cotton uniforms….

But cotton gets so stinky after a few hours
I don’t want to smell like it’s 1922 despite how good it looks.
Cotton breathes, its comfortable
its all good—until it shrinks

People will hate me for this
But I’m not a fan. YET. I feel like it needs more.
I’ll wait till the jerseys are revealed to make a full judgment

Oh I'm sure whoever is in charge of the jersey making is adjusting them to my liking right now

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

He was more proportional that's for sure
The old one looks like a conehead. That said he did come first. Also good is that it means they won’t be getting rid of the Swingin Friar mascot any time soon. His ability to freak out Giants fans alone means he’s a keeper for a mascot.

I grew up with that Friar
We need him back.

We have him right now.
He’s been one of our alt logos since 96 and is still one of our logos until around noon on Thursday.
I haven't seen that particular Friar in a long time
Is he on the blue jerseys because I haven’t seen it?

Yeah, I saw it after image searching
Just never realized it/ paid much attention. I always associated that logo with the 90’s.

I like this friar a lot
Down to that crazy grin on his face. Except I always think his hair is a line of stitches like he just had a lobotomy.
Franken-friar?

What time are they unveiling the new unis?
The NCT article states that the new uniforms are coming today.
I hope this means our players will wear blue monk robes and are required to have a monk hair cut,

The problem is he is freestyling with a chin strap and he has the wrong robe on.

One thing I am really happy to see
Is “SAN DIEGO” back in the logo. It was just weird that they dropped the city name last season.
I find the head to be a little funny looking.
But I still like it better than last years.
This is an environment of welcoming, and you should just get the hell outta here.
