This is just the kind of stuff people talk about when there's less than 2 weeks before Spring Training.

Also, when you look at the history of the team (photos of the World Series, Frank going into the HOF with the SOX hat, pictures of Fisk, Robin, Ozzie, Konerko, Buehrle all the way through Sale and Abreu, there is something cohesive and comforting when you look at the videos and the baseball cards or programs when they all have essentially the same uniform and same logo on the hat. It ties everything together and gives the franchise history and identity. I think it's cool that Tim Raines wore the same Sox uniform as Adam Eaton will in 2014. I may be overly sentimental about this, but that's my take. |

I remember the Sox did it when they were in Seattle. They wore the caps with the silver brim.

Yeah, I vaguely remember that. It feels like teams are required to wear the BP hats maybe 1 game just so they can be marketed as an alternate game hat and not a BP hat. Meh, whatever.

What's next, t-shirts like the NBA on Xmas?
With 162 games, teams can market their whole line of apparel! A new outfit every game, with a runway presentation before the 1st pitch, or during the 7th inning stretch. Yeah!

Well, for baseball, I disagree. It's cool that Sandy Koufax and Clayton Kershaw have worn the same uniform. Same thing can be said for Al Kaline and Miguel Cabrera, or Mickey Mantle, Bernie Williams and now Ellsbury. Classic teams have classic uniforms. The Sox have been around for 110 years and fall into that category. On the other side, look at teams like the Astros or Padres, and immediately you think of mediocrity because they've worn so many uniforms, and their top stars from each era are in a different style jersey. There's no tradition with those teams. It's like each franchise is a hodge podge of three or four entirely different expansion teams. Tony's Gwynn's Padres might as well have been playing on a different planet than Jake Peavy's Padres. Same thing with the Astros (and their new uniforms are bad, by the way).

The Sox need to stick with the Olde English S O X logo. It says two things: tradition and class. |

Tradition for tradition's sake is one thing; but the current Sox uniforms are, quite simply, great looking uniforms. IMO, no need to change.

Bingo. I think the Sox uniforms are classy and don't want to see them changed. The script road Chicago is my favorite but I also am a fan of the white with pinstripes.

The White Sox do have a tradition - the tradition is wacky uniform changes.

That tradition stopped in September of 1990. 23 1/2 years ago.
