Last week, the San Diego Padres joined with several other Major League Baseball organizations by unveiling their City Connect uniforms, which were designed to capture the city’s character in new and exciting ways. The team’s press release says that the cheerful, pastel uniforms mix “iconic California imagery with the vibrant colors of the Baja Peninsula.” But not everyone looks at the uni’s combo of pink, mint, and yellow and thinks SoCal/Baja, or even West Coast. “It’s Florida, man,” quipped California Governor Gavin Newsom during a press conference in which he was asked about the uniforms. “I feel like I’m looking at a 1985 Nagel poster on the wall in some Miami cocaine kingpin’s white stucco palace on Miami Vice. Frankly, it’s hurtful. We had over 600,000 people leave California in 2020; meanwhile, Florida is the number one state that people are moving to. I’m having to buy airtime and run commercials there to remind people of how great things are here and how awful life is under Governor DeSantis. And then these clowns in San Diego go and get themselves dolled up for Carnival.”
