typewritermender Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Anyone else think the Sox are long past due for a new uniform? I'm sick of these ones, they're so nineties and boring. Let's stick a little red back in there. I really like the old red pinstripes (from the 50s?). I know the linked SOX logo is a classic, so if that stays (maybe slightly reinvented) I'm okay with it. But how much longer are we gonna have to deal with these boring black alternates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3GamesToLove Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) Couldn't disagree more. The current Sox unis are the best in baseball. We have a history of thousands of terrible uniform designs. We have found one that works. Don't fix it if it ain't broke. I agree that they wear the black alts WAAAY too much, but please do not touch the current unis.

flavum Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 The current uniforms are classic, and they should remain. But I'm in agreement about the black jerseys. I think when they started wearing them, it was only intended to be for Sunday's. They should go back to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Paul Lukas wrote about how they were overdue awhile ago... ...and I still disagree. Changing for the sake of changing is a horrible idea, especially when we had to suffer through so much crap to get the classics we have now. Also, I love the black jerseys.

mmmmmbeeer Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 The black jerseys are the best of the bunch, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't dislike them, but when it's half of the games, it's too much. I especially hate it when both teams on the field are wearing a solid color jersey. It just looks wrong, like it's a spring training game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 My opinion of the black jersey's has been stated by me for years. Personally I think they should abolish them. Only home whites and road grey. It's classy, and the Sox are an original team, no need for alternates... If they do change them, they should make ones with this logo and a navy blue/white color scheme in general.

GreatScott82 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 We've had these since 1991 I believe. We won the World Series with these. They will not change them or nor should they. The only thing I miss are these alternates: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...%26tbs%3Disch:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most badass jerseys in pro sports. I do like the 1919 throwbacks quite a bit though, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthsideDon48 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 the black jersey is my all-time favorite jersey among all sports teams in sports history. they BETTER NOT EVER get rid of it. <_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 There should be a time in the future where they wear each and every one of their past home and away jerseys as throwback days throughout a year. From 1901-now. That would be seriously great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 1901-now. That would be seriously great. Like a throw-back MONTH, a 'White Sox through the decades month'. I like that. Though I feel like the front office/marketers wouldn't agree to it because they can't make replicas of every single jersey worn, and they wouldn't want to trot out a jersey on the field that they can't make a buck off of at the front gate. But as a fan, that would be so awesome. Forget the promotion of 'pick your beer vender of the month' to draw fans, how about the month of July in which we wear throwbacks everyday: that will be a sweet way to get more fans to come back to the stadium every night. Throw in honoring players each night from the era in which the jersey was worn, that would be awesome. Now I just got excited to see a made-up event that will never happen...

knightni Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Forget July. Try April or May, when the attendance is lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 The Sox have one of the best uniforms in baseball, with a classic logo - why on earth would you want to change it? Just for the sake of changing it? Remember what the last few uniforms before that looked like? I'll take what we have now, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Why do we have this discussion every f***ing year? I swear to god it's like clockwork, right before the season begins. Quit complaining about the great uniforms or else management may do something stupid like consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBatterz Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Keep the current look without a doubt. Although, adding shorts would be cool ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I like the black ones. I'm glad they've slowly replaced the grey ones. Those were rather dreary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I wouldnt mind them bringing back the sleeveless unis with the black undershirt either. I dont think anything needs to be changed here QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 15, 2010 -> 11:19 AM) I like the black ones. I'm glad they've slowly replaced the grey ones. Those were rather dreary. The road greys havent been replaced. The Black unis will always be an alternate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
