Logo of major league baseball’s San Diego Padres, used from 1969, their first year of existence as a National League expansion team, until 1984. The “Padres” team name was a tribute to the minor league team in that city that had existed since 1937. The team didn’t do much winning when this logo was in existence, but did have 2 big power hitters in their early years – Nate Colbert, who once hit 5 home runs in a doubleheader, and Dave Winfield, who was the face of the franchise in the 1970s. The Padres were owned in the ’70s by McDonald’s restaurant founder Ray Kroc, and dipped into the free agent market to sign players like Gaylord Perry, Gene Tenace, Willie McCovey and Rollie Fingers, but it didn’t help them win. The club finally won a pennant in 1984, the year Kroc died.
