Not much of a surprise here but now there is official word. Based on the comments I have seen on this board these uniforms might be the most polarizing uniforms in White Sox history. Personally I love them but my nostalgia is probably increased because there are pictures of me as an infant wearing this uniform...which is strange because when I was an infant the White Sox were no longer wearing this uniform.

I hope to be around in 2019, for the 60th anniversary, to see the uniforms I like.

Not sure if these uniforms were truly "polarizing." Few people (other than Mary Frances Veeck) liked them!

Outside of the shorts, I love em, particularly the hat which is perhaps my favorite Sox hat.

I liked the 76-81 uniforms once they went to the white pants full time.
The 82-86 uniforms not so much. I thought they looked like a cereal box. I'd be a little more impressed with this promotion if they wore the greys on the road on Sunday's too.

Unless they want to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1964 team I don't think they have any other big anniversaries to commemorate. They have commemorated the '64 team before though, but the road uniform was the best part of that set and they won't wear road throwbacks. |

I think people who were kids in '83 like them, and some of the people for whom the uglier the throwback the better. However, at the time they were actually wearing these uniforms, I didn't know a single adult who liked them, ESPECIALLY the propeller-beanie home cap.

I didn't like them when I was a kid, but I like the throwbacks now. Changes to the material, belt, piping and cut make them more appealing IMO. |

I was a kid when they wore those uniforms and I had a hard time rooting for em because of those uniforms.

The choices were pretty bleak. I always thought these uniforms looked like spacesuits for some reason.

I don't remember seeing the all blue road uniforms with the white cap too many times. Did they ditch that look after awhile?!
I like the throwback Sunday uniforms, however I think it would be cool if they completely honored the uniform and wore the road uniforms as well on Sundays. I would have loved to see the 1972 powder blue/red road uniforms last season! At the very least, I think the SOX/Cubs should try and coordinate throwback home/road uniforms for their inter-city series each season. Pick a historic Chicago event each season and then each team wears their uniforms from that year. |
