The San Diego Padres unveiled a new uniform set earlier this week, and it included something fans have been clamoring for: a home alternate uni featuring the team's original brown-and-gold color scheme. (Actually, many fans have been clamoring for the Padres to go brown/gold for their primary uniforms, not just for an alternate. But hey, one thing at a time.)
The enduring affection for the Padres' original color scheme is interesting. If a team came out with those colors today, it would almost certainly be ridiculed. In fact, the Padres themselves were ridiculed back in the 1970s.
