he gone. Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Hey! let's talk something positive about this team --- is it just me or are the giveaways really great this year? Feels like they've stepped up their game from the t-shirt/bobblehead days and are really giving away some cool, practical items. The pullover this weekend? Then the nice looking water bottle Sunday. They are doing a coffee mug a few weeks from now. The White Sox - Socks. White Sox Zubaz. Saw a SICK Blackhawks/Sox scarf that makes me even consider going to the Phillies game on a Tuesday night. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/schedule/p...ns.jsp?c_id=cws I'll honestly say that I am almost ready to go to some games just for the giveaways - which is the point of the promotion. Maybe bad that they are turning into a minor league team where giveaways and shticks are what are driving my interest, but hey, so be it. Maybe to make this more into a thread -- what has been your favorite thus far this year? Or which are you looking forward to the most? Myself personally? That scarf looks awesome. I want the Sox socks. The Hawaiian shirt was great. Also, maybe I never paid attention in the past, but they've done a great job of having multiple sizes available so you aren't just walking away with an XXL. I'm getting mediums of everything.

But I guess last year we had PK day and the 10 year World Series reunion day (replica ring). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBWSF Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 1) I wish they would have had a statue day. Statues of Comiskey, Baines, Fox and Aparicio have yet to be given out. I even wrote JR about it. I was hoping they would give one of them out on Fan Appreciation Day. 2) The giveaways they have had this year have been good. The shirts and jerseys have been nice.

sin city sox fan Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Where do you see the scarf? I don't see that on the calendar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's one of those where you have to buy tickets on line and they give you a code you print up. They keep it to a few hundred people.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I really wanted that pullover, but I can't find anyone to go to the game Saturday. I'll give someone $20 if they can get me one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBWSF Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 The batting practice jersey that was given out last night was AWESOME. This was the 3rd shirt/jersey they gave out this year and it was definitely the nicest of the three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBWSF Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 To the best of my knowledge they had 2 sizes, XL and Medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBWSF Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) 1) I noticed when I was watching todays game against Oakland, Stone and Benettie were giving a number of items away if you won that contest they have every game. One of the items was a Bill Veeck bobblehead. Does anybody know if the White Sox are going to have a Bill Veeck bobblehead for sale? I noticed that the bobblehead box of Veeck had White Sox logos on it. I wasn't a fan of Veeck but I would want the bobblehead to add to my collection. 2) I followed up with my season ticket rep today (Monday, 8-22-16) and he said the team didn't have anymore Bill Veeck bobbleheads. The one they gave out was evidently a one of a kind bobblehead. Edited August 22, 2016 by WBWSF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of the Sale K Counter bobblehead, I'm pretty sure the superhero Lawrie, Jedi Southpaw and Scottie Pippen bobbleheads were only recently announced. The promo schedule on the Sox website hasn't even been updated to show the Pippen bobblehead which is a giveaway on 9/14. But I agree, the giveaways have been pretty great. I have a friend whose brother interned with the Sox this season and as a perk received two of every giveaway, so he hooked me up with the pullover BP jersey and the '76 replica jersey. A little annoying that the '76 jersey came in just M and XL, though. I'm an awkward size between a medium and a large so the medium is a little snug.

I gave the 76 jersey to my 14 year old nephew who is 6'4" and built like Chris Sale if Sale didn't eat in a week. Really skinny. The XL barely fit him.

ewokpelts Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 The problem is that most of the "cooler" premium items are limited run special ticket purchase offers. the Pippen bobblehead is limited to 1000 and you need to buy at www.whitesox.com/chicagobulls I bought the 8/27 game at the box office because the item was 10k at the gates, only to get an offer guranteeing my bobble if i buy on www.whitesox.com/starwars pick a lane, sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
