San Diego Union Tribune - The unveiling of the Padres’ 2016 All-Star Game logo did not bring back the brown. It did, however, add sunshine yellow to the team’s current navy blue and white scheme, perhaps hinting at what the on-field product may look like next season.
Executive Chairman Ron Fowler went one step further in opening remarks Friday morning at Petco Park, indicating he’d like San Diego fans to create a “sea of blue” at the Padres’ version of the Midsummer Classic.
Moments later, with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and Mayor Kevin Faulconer at Fowler’s side, the Padres pulled the wraps off the official logo for the 87th All-Star Game: A navy blue and battleship gray diamond topped by silhouetted palm trees against a graduated blue skyline, all of it underneath a Gaslamp Quarter Archway with an yellow-circled Padres logo.
The team's uniform could also have a similar color scheme when it takes the field next year.
“We like some of the colors, but there are other issues that we are looking at,” Fowler said. “We need a little more time to make decisions, but it shouldn't be surprising that that's one of the options we're looking at.”
Lots of chatter from local bloggers about how terrible the All Star Game logo is and how much they hate it. I hate the majority of any moves the Padres make in every facet but if you complain about the logo for an All Star Game than you need to swam dive off the middle of the Coronado bridge.
The Padres have enough issues to worry about. The LOGO IS FINE. It's a Logo. WHO CARES?
There are so many other facets of the Padres that are so easy to question and dissect but a logo is an all time low for some of these weak local bloggers. These bloggers have such a weird community and I would kill to be locked in a room with them on Padres social night or a video podcast.
Also the losers that spend all their time attempting to bring back the brown have probably hurt the cause of including more throw back brown/yellow taco uniforms more than they have improved the chances because they are so annoying. If I owned the team I would also not back down from theese clowns even if I like the brown/yellow taco look. Might more sense to consistently hammer the organization over their use of cash flow and future spending plans. Just a thought.
P.S. For the record - The '98 Uniforms are by far the best past Padres Uniforms. The Pinstripes made Tony look good and that's fucking impressive. The hats were combo of White/orange SD were straight fire as well. The away uni were boring but you can't have it all in life.
