How about Smokey Burgess in those 83 togs.

I just meant that the "batter man" should have been on the hat.

I knew what you meant. That's what I was referring to when I said that was about the only way possible to make that uniform even more embarrassing. I wouldn't wear the propeller beanie home cap during those years, only the road cap. If it had the "batter man" on it, I wouldn't have gotten one at all.

I was never a fan of the "batter man" logo. To me it looked like it belonged on a street sign.

I love those uniforms, mostly because they were worn during my formative years as a fan (I was 10 in 1983). I really hated the late '80's uniforms with the curlicue C that looked more like an e. I will never feel nostalgia for those. It doesn't help that the team was miserably bad almost the entire time they wore them.

At least the Sox letters aren't red last last year's throwbacks from the 70s. I just don't understand why the team would have ever designed a Sox logo in red when there's a team named the Red Sox playing in their same sport.

They must have changed the cut of those uniforms, because they were awful in 1983 and awesome in 2008, in my opinion.
Just compared the uniforms, one major difference which I think affects the look quite a bit is the originals had a three inch navy blue band in lieu of a belt, while the throwbacks use a belt similar to the modern uniforms. Makes a huge difference, plus the modern material compared to polyester of the original along with the looser style players wear today really improves the look.

This again? I maintain that they adopted red to emulate the the successful teams of the NL that wore red, particularly the Reds. But I have no proof of that, just a guess. After all, the Red Sox and Tigers won the AL in 1967-68, and in 1969 the Sox trotted out with the same design of uniform. Coincidence? Don't think so. Likewise, the "Big Red Machine" tore up the NL in 1970. The next year, the Sox trot out red uniforms. |

It makes for a cool T, particularly the one with the Chicago skyline. I actually found an original I had when I was about eight or nine years old recently and gave it to my GF's kid, he wears it all the time now. It has autographs of Kittle, Ken Williams, Thigpen and Greg Walker on the front.
