Padres unveil new unis, including brown and yellow
The All-Star Game will be coming to San Diego in 2016. And, given that they'll be hosting the biggest names in baseball, the Padres decided they had to dress to impress -- with some brand new uniforms they'll be debuting next season. They even added a gold trim to go with the blue interlocking "SD" logo:

Having whetted our appetite with some solid new threads, San Diego dropped a bombshell: After years of longing from baseball fans and lovers of outlandish colors alike, the old brown and yellow uniforms were coming back.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL:
We're not done yet! For every Friday home game in 2016 the #Padres will wear a brown and yellow jersey! https://t.co/20HfWBhITn

And if you're looking to add any of these beauties to your wardrobe, you can buy them from the MLB.com shop here. The camo jerseys won't be available until February, so you'll just have to pick up the other two in the meantime.
