He just thinks that the new camouflage jerseys work so well that they hide the players from the fans' view. With all due respect to our military, the uniforms are so realistic that it makes Padres games troublesome to watch both on television and in person at Petco Park. He goes on to describe how camouflage is meant to hide people in their surroundings.
Which is true, but in this case the desert camouflage would really only hide them in a desert, not on the green grass of the outfield and the dark clay of the infield. Not to mention that all the players wear bright white pants. Now I would agree if his complaint was that it's hard to read the names and numbers on the players' jerseys. The numbers after all are written in a darker shade of tan that blend with the rest of the jersey.
The names on the back are written in bright white that reflect the sun and are difficult to read even on television. But he's saying that it's pointless to even watch a Sunday home game because you can't see the players clearly. Thinking about taking the wife and kids to a Sunday day game at Petco Park? Don't even think about it, as the players will be nearly impossible to follow from the upper deck.
The jerseys blend in with grass, sand and dirt, which makes nearly all the players on the field tough to see unless you're up close. I suspect he's purposely being a little over dramatic to emphasize his point because I've never heard any other complaint about fans not being able to see the players.
I mean it's not like they are wearing Japanese invisible fabric. Starting in , there was only one major change in the base Padres uniforms over the next decade. However, there were two important additions — the alternate uniform and the introduction of the camouflage home jersey tops that the Padres introduced to Major League Baseball as part of their military commitment.
Jack Ensch were the first in professional sports. And in , Padres began wearing camouflage jersey tops on special dates during the season. Over the past two decades, the Padres have worn five versions of military camouflage tops.
The jersey top was a blend of brown and sand tones. But now that I cover the Padres and see the uniforms on a near-daily basis in one way or another, I thought it would be fun to take a quick look at the full rundown of options Fernando Tatis Jr. The Padres have a long-standing tradition of supporting the armed forces with camouflage uniforms. The design of those jerseys has changed over the years — with the latest featuring two distinct looks. The first features a green urban camouflage print and the second utilizes sand-olive in more of a desert-vibe look.
