Brown is back. The Swingin’ Friar is front and center. The Padres’ new look will officially be on the field next week when pitchers and catchers report to Peoria, Ariz., beginning with alternate spring training/batting practice versions of caps that New Era unveiled on Tuesday.
The “New Era Official MLB Batting Practice Collection” combines alternate logos, chosen by the team, embroidered with primary logos on the front of the cap.
In the Padres’ case, a yellow interlocking “SD” is placed within a Swingin’ Friar on a brown cap.
Another yellow interlocking “SD” is located on the side of the cap.
