Here’s another thing I don’t own but I thought the guys at Gaslampball would enjoy, since everytime I turn around there is something new with the Pad Squad on there. It’s a Pad Squad jersey!! It’s either from a Pad Squad member or my guess it was purchased at the wonderful Padres Garage Sale that I love attending every year. Not a lot of bids yet on it and it’s still pretty cheap. Dex & Jbox get to bidding!!

After my meeting with Padres owner Jeff Moorad on Thursday I get the impression that this uniform might be going away soon. Therefore let’s give it a proper send off. I actually think it’s an OK jersey….probably my favorite of the 3 new ones but on the other hand our current color scheme is to close to the Milwaukee Brewers. Changing the away uniforms to gray, like he wants to do, isn’t going to make us stand out at all though. We’ll just be looking like the rest of the league who all pretty much use the gray for away uniforms. We need to bring back the brown!!!

Yes I have all 3 ’90′s Padre jerseys (among many others). Yes I know I have a problem and need to stop buying all this stuff. Yes I know it’s weird that I keep typing like I’m having a conversation with somebody. This jersey here was one of the go to jerseys for the Padres during this time. It seemed like I saw them in this uni more than the other 2 so it sticks out more to me as the jersey of the ’90′s. I’m not 100% sure on when they started using these so I searched the internet looking for pictures as well as looking at some old baseball cards. It appears that they first started using these in 1996 though.
PS-Upon further review the ugly Dodger-esque white unis were worn as far back as 1999. I didn’t realize they wore them for that long.

What the heck let’s have 90′s throwback days here at .400 in ’94. This is the Away jersey used from ’91-’03. Unlike that horrible plain white home jersey they switched to in 2002, they kept these away jerseys for the final 2 years at Qualcomm Stadium. I kind of liked the Home & Alternate jerseys but this one I never really loved…they were OK though.

The Padres wore this jersey at home from 1991-2001 and then made the switch to possibly the worst uniforms they have ever worn, but let’s not talk about those. This jersey brings back fond memories for me, being the jersey worn during the ’96 & ’98 playoff runs. Although it also brings up bad memories of the Tom Werner fire sale as well……but I think the good outweighs the bad.

This is a Tony Gwynn 1984 Padres home jersey. It is the only jersey with a name & number on the back that I own and what better person to get than Mr. Padre himself. This should be filed under “must own” for all Padre fans. Nuff said.

Once again if you want the 411 on the actual game head on over to my other site SDPads1 where I will be posting it all tomorrow. So I’ll have to admit that I kind of went a little Beaver crazy (ummm what?) in Portland. Not only did I get the standard programs & tickets but I also got an All-Star game hat (FOR FREE!!!) as well. Then I went full force and got both the Beavers home & away hats as well as the red & black model that they used from 2001-2007. Then as I was waiting in line I said “Hey there’s a jersey…what the heck!” and got the home jersey as well. The Home Run Derby took place on July 13th, 2009 with the Beavers own Chad Huffman taking home the crown & the All-Star game took place on July 15th, 2009 as the Pacific Coast League lost to the International League 6-5. Both took place in Portland’s beautiful PGE Park.
