Chicago White Sox – An Old Team With A lot Of History
The most popular baseball team located in Chicago, Illinois is the Chicago White Sox. They became part of the baseball sport in 1901. Chicago White Sox is one of the two teams that are known to be located in the Illinois region. Seeing as the team has been around for quite some time, they have won the World Series on two different occasions; years 1906 and 1917. The Chicago White Sox are commonly referred to as the “South Siders” by the fans.
Seeing as the team has been around for quite some time, the Chicago White Sox have had a number of changes in their uniform. The Chicago White Sox were known as the first team in sporting history that put their player names on the back of their jersey. The Chicago White Sox have had a famous logo since 1912. The logo compromises for the word SOX in a diagonal layout. All three letters are intertwined.
The colors for the teams uniform changed in 1964. The home uniform colors changed from black to blue whereas the away uniform changed from gray to pale blue. The home uniform changed its colors once again in 1976 where it went from red back to navy blue.
Other parts of the uniform were also known to be changed quite often. One of the most apparent changes in the Chicago White Sox uniform was the Sox logo itself. The current uniform has a modern looking “Sox” logo that is bold in front. The logo is completed with the name of the state Chicago, running across the remainder of the jersey. There was quite a big controversy on the Chicago White Sox wearing shorts in 1976. After being given a negative response from the fans, they went back to wearing trousers.
The team was taken over by new owners in the year 1981. The new owners of the Chicago White Sox; Eddie Einhorn and Jerry Reinsfdorf were known to announce a contest in which it allowed its fans to design the uniform for the team.
The new design that was revealed after this competition saw the Sox word in the center of the jersey. The word was found in the middle of a large blue stripe that had a slight trimming of red. This design was later again changed to the more up to date uniform that has the words “White Sox” across the front of the jersey in basic plain font.
Due to the high demand of uniforms of the Chicago White Sox, most of the old designs are still currently available on their official website. Seeing as some fans preferred certain uniform designs over the other, it allows many the ability to choose which uniform they would like to buy. The good thing about buying your uniform from their official website is that you are provided with the option of having your name printed on the back of the official White Sox shirt.
The Chicago White Sox uniform is not the only items that are being sold on the official website. Another product that is quite popular amongst the fans which is also available is the teams mascot.
