May 10, 200619 yr Minneapolis: Twins Cubs Braves Yankees Red Sox Dave Revsine of ESPN said it best. "When I told my boss I was a Sox fan, he looked me like I was a yak herder from Uzbekistan." I've gotten that look a lot. There's a few of us in Minneapolis, but not too many. Most Sox caps I see are for fashion purposes only. I saw someone once with what I thought was an early 80's shirt on, and I said something about it. The guy wearing it encouraged me to look closer and when I did, I discovered the shirt said "Sux". Oops. I have a good friend who works at the university who is a Sox fan, grew up at 63rd and Damen.

But when I was in Puerto Rico, I had about 5 workers at the resort I was staying at that wanted to either talk White Sox with me, or buy my World Series T-shirt. I wish I had a suitcase full of them, I would have made a killing.

Its going to be quite an experience being there for college for the next 4 years I'll make sure to wear my hat proudly
May 10, 200619 yr QUOTE(NYSox35 @ May 8, 2006 -> 01:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey guys, I'm in NYC and am curious how the popularity of the White Sox is in other areas. Here, I'd say the White Sox rank #3 or #4 in terms of popularity of people wearing our Hats, Jerseys, etc. Part of this is just that people like our logo/colors, part of it is that our gear was popularized back in the 90's hip hop culture, and part of it is bandwagoners "front-running", but I brought this up b/c I see so many more people wearing White Sox stuff out here than I did a year ago. Out in NYC, I'd say it's: 1. Yankees 2. Mets 3. Boston (lots of Boston ppl wind up here) 4. White Sox (though we are a close 4 behind Boston these days). What do you guys see in your areas? Hey, just had to say that your avatar is the cruelest ever Edited May 10, 200619 yr by TheBigHurt
