We return to San Diego for today's Ugly Uniform Of The Day.
The Padres have a laundry list (no pun intended) of ugly uniforms throughout the years. Today's UUOTD was full of good intentions, but is just really, really bad.
San Diego is a Navy town. With that in mind, the Padres wanted to honor our military on some promotional days during the 2003 and 2004 seasons. They unveiled these really awful camouflage uniforms. Never mind that camouflage is worn more by the Army, and that San Diego is full of Navy men and women. These guys look like action figures. Only thing is, G.I. Joe is a soldier, not a baseball player.
I do not want to throw the military under the bus. I respect and support our military and their mission. But even the brave men and women of our armed forces would agree: These Padres uniforms are ugly.

Okay, the logo is hard to see, but don't go throwing this uni under the bus. They are trying to honor people in the military. Come on!
The intentions are great. The uni is bad.
At least they didn't try desert camouflage, though. :-)
I think desert would have been more fitting for the Padres.
Desert probably would have been more fitting. They still look like G.I. Joe.
There's not really an appropriate Navy uniform, as they should have worn that.
