The team will wear its classic brown-trimmed uniforms for five games in 2015. The team will don the white-and-brown pinstriped uniforms, worn between 1985 and 90, for a late April game, two July games and two games in August.
From the official press release:
The Padres swapped their traditional brown color in favor of midnight blue in 1990, then swapped out the orange trim in 2000 for a sand-olive color, much to the chagrin of San Diego fans.
The dates of those games are April 29, July 1, July 22, Aug. 12 and Aug. 19.
But for five games in 2015, the fans will get exactly what they want.
