The culmination of years of research and fan interaction from the San Diego Padres resulted in three new uniforms that lean heavily on the past while incorporating some new twists.
The evening began with a video montage of iconic Padres players of the past (Randy Jones, Trevor Hoffman and Tony Gwynn Jr representing his Dad) lauding the past uniforms of the organization.
There was a special emphasis on the brown and gold being what distinguished the Padres from other teams.
While noshing on the free hot dogs, popcorn, beer, wine, and soda or water provided by the Padres, several thousand enthusiastic fans (mostly season ticket holders) cheered the players of the past.
