This Was Almost the Padres Logo? Yikes.

Birthday love to the San Diego Padres, awarded a team this day in 1968. They nearly wound up with this logo in 1985: pic.twitter.com/DQCs0EZGjS

I need to know the backstory on this. Ugliest looking Swinging Friar I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot of Swinging Friars. We’ve even seen some Padres non-swinging Friars. Dodged a major bullet by not landing that logo. I’ve written a lot about Padres logos here on the 8-letter, and I’ve never seen that bad-boy before. So bad. Mr. Radom even tweeted that he’s seen color mockups of that logo with uniforms! Need to see these! Neeeeeeeeeed. Question: That mockup remind you of any other baseball logos you’ve seen before?

*update* – I asked Todd Radom about the prototype uniforms in color and he responded.  

@LobShots I have actual photos of prototypes, sworn to secrecy. Seriously.
