Step back in time and celebrate a cherished piece of Nevada baseball history with our Reno Padres T-shirt. This vintage-inspired tee pays homage to the beloved minor league team that captured the hearts of Northern Nevada baseball fans during their brief but memorable run from 1981 to 1987.
The Reno Padres quickly gained popularity as the city's first professional baseball team in decades, serving as the California League affiliate of the San Diego Padres. Playing their home games at Moana Stadium, they brought exciting professional baseball action to the Biggest Little City. Despite initial enthusiasm and solid attendance, the team's existence was cut short by financial challenges and the deteriorating condition of their aging ballpark, ultimately leading to their relocation after the 1987 season.
Our shirt features the iconic Reno Padres logo with an authentically distressed, cracked finish that gives it that perfect vintage feel – as if you've treasured it since the team's playing days. The design appears on the front only, with a clean, blank back.
