The Padres made a good amount of changes to their uniform set this year including updated logos. An aspect that has plagued the current Padres set is a multitude of colors, fonts, and lack of simplicity. For the current upgrade, they decided to make things simple and the result is plain, but pleasant:
Team Logo Patch
Home Sleeve Patch
Away Sleeve Patch
Home Jersey
Alternate Jersey
Away Jersey
At the end of the day, these are changes you either love or hate. I like when teams use less colors in their uniforms, and make the jersey’s similar, so I’m for this. If you recall, this has actually been a soft transition for San Diego. Their away uniforms used to be sand color with that really odd writing of San Diego across the front. Last season they kept the font, but made the uniforms a more traditional road gray. This year they updated the font. It looks more typical now, but that is not a bad thing.
I do find it interesting how many teams are now doing the circle patch on the sleeve for the primary logo. The Orioles have two different ones for home and away that they started using a few seasons ago, and the Nationals introduced last year. I’m going to start to look at how many teams actually use the circular logo.
