I bought them years ago and always get a weird look when I wear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clyons Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 QUOTE (The Critic @ Jan 25, 2012 -> 04:42 PM) This is the first Sox uniform I remember as a kid, so this makes me very happy. I remember getting the giveaway "jersey t-shirt" that had the pinstripes and logo on the front but was plain white with no pinstripes on the back. Ahhhh, that Bill Veeck! Me too. I've always loved the red pinstripes. My giveaway memory of those unis is of Chicken Unlimited Jacket Day. That vinyl and rubber banded atrocity cut off my circulation at both wrists, and made me sweat profusely and smell like a chemical factory. Oh how I loved it.

LVSoxFan Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 25, 2012 -> 04:32 PM) Looks like I will be buying several new jerseys for this season... I know, right? Damn. I said after the last one--okay, no more, I have enough (10). But these are too cool to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumbles3k Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Didn't they say something a few years back about never wearing throwbacks from an era when they didn't make the playoffs (or something like that)? I like the idea of wearing retro uniforms on Sundays, and I also like these particular uniforms, but 1972 seems like an odd year to commemorate.

mumbles3k Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Sure, but my point is that the 1972 season wasn't really anything special. What is it that they're celebrating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) I guess i don't really care for the red stripe uniforms since the team's name is the White Sox and there is another team in the league named the Red Sox. Just kind of weird to me. You'd think they'd avoid highlighting that color in any uniform because of that Edited January 31, 2012 by ChiSox_Sonix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saved up months of allowance and paperboy money to buy one for about $50 back in the day. These were the unis when I became a Sox fan as a kid so I will always have a soft spot for them, too.

VAfan Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Here's the day I most remember from the 1972 season. I was in high school, and a buddy of mine joined me for this doubleheader. We were sitting in the left field bleachers, and Dick Allen's pinch hit HR was headed straight for us when it left the bat, but we ended up missing it by a few rows of seats. Found this description on Sox Talk. 1972: Dick Allen’s three-run pinch-hit walkoff homer handed the White Sox a sweep-clinching 5-4 win over the Yankees in Game 2 of a doubleheader before a Bat Day crowd of 51,904 at Comiskey Park. The blast made a winner out of Cy Acosta, who pitched a scoreless top of the ninth in his big league debut. In the opener, the Sox rode a four-run third -- thanks to two-RBIs each by Mike Andrews and Carlos May -- to a 6-1 win. Tom Bradley gave up one run on six hits with one walk and eight strikeouts in a complete game effort to improve to 6-2.

Weren't they supposed to wear the road versions of those a few years back? I think I read that the jerseys were all too small, so they just wore the caps instead.
