Padre Pricetag
I'm glad to see some uniform discussion back on this blog. It's been a couple of days. I like those new Padres unis, I think the sand idea for road games is fresh and I even like this new logo, surf and all. (In case you're curious, the Padres begin play in PETCO Park next year, hence the new duds.) But why not go back to the old brown and yellow and have that chubby Franciscan swinging a bat? Old School baseball uniforms and hats, particularly that Padres look, are extremely popular. I keep waiting for one of these teams to cash in on this by going retro whole hog. Then again, if that stuff is going to sell anyway, the creation of a new uniform and new logo makes for even more stuff to buy.

(By the way, did you happen to notice who's modeling those new Padres threads?)
