On a stage in left-center field, beneath the giant video board showing their every move, Fernando Tatis Jr., Eric Hosmer and Manny Machado modeled the new Padres uniforms that are an ode to the past and a highly anticipated jump into the future.

Amid the cheers, one man was heard proclaiming, “I love it. I love it.”
Then Tatis appeared on stage in the all-tan alternate road jersey with the brown pinstripes.
