[...] As we’ve discussed before, the public perception of our farm system is bleak. Along with BA, Keith Law ranked the team at 19th, and John Sickles and Baseball Prospectus were also less than enthused. But neither of them were as harsh as BA, which is where Fuson’s directed his ire. [...]

To me, what makes a great uniform is having a clean, simple look, being unique, and and committing to them for a long time. I think the sand away jerseys meet the first two criteria well, and have a chance to be classics. I don’t think the home and alternate jerseys are unique enough to work.

I wouldn’t mind combining brown with the current look, we have some mockups of what I’m talking about to post soon.

I’ve only been a fan for like 2-3 years now but I have to say that I really like the blue jerseys. I also love the military uniforms. But the fact that I wasn’t a fan when the Pads played in other uniforms probably biases my love for the blue uniforms. Still I wouldn’t mind keeping the current uniforms.

The Padres most successful years were 1984 in Brown Pinstripes,1996 – 1998 in Blue Pinstripes and 2003-2007 in the current unis.

Seems in terms of winning percentage the current unis win.

True story: When I went out to spring training a couple years ago, a friend and I sat watching the Brewers minor leaguers practice for a while before we realized they weren’t the Padres. The two teams were scheduled to play that day, and their warmup jerseys looked nearly identical.
