The Santa Clara Padres emerged as a California League affiliate of the San Diego Padres in 1979, bringing professional baseball to the South Bay. Despite initial enthusiasm and an exciting connection to the major league franchise, the team faced immediate challenges with attendance and facilities. After just one season, financial difficulties and insufficient local support led to the franchise's relocation, ending the Padres' remarkably brief chapter in Santa Clara's sports history.
Available in sizes S-5XL in a wide variety of popular colors. The vintage logo appears on the front only, with a clean, blank back.
Wear a piece of California baseball history that captures a fleeting but memorable moment in Bay Area minor league baseball!
