dgnmrwrw Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Since my Sox are replacing the blue seats at US Cellular Field with "Forest Green" seats (see here) and their website has a forest green band at the top, I thought it would be interesting to come up with a concept that added green to their current black and silver. So I came up with this. It stays very close to their current set (there are a few small changes such as the piping on the road jersey and the batting practice jersey), but adds some of the forest green.This is a first shot, and I'm not sure how well it works. I thought about eliminating the black completely, but then I thought it would look to similar to Tampa's scheme. I think I like everything except the home jersey.C + C is welcomed and appreciated. Also, if anyone would like to post their own concepts with forest green added, that would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 it DOES look too similar to Tampa. all you need is to add blue, then it'll REALLY be a dead ringer for the Rays. for the heck of it, try red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the admiral Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 VESTS BAD SLEEVES GOODAlso, I think more ballparks need green seating. Not enough ballparks have green chairs. Get on that.You went too green. The way I would have done it (I'm not in the mood is to go VERY subtle on the green. One layer of green trim around the black numbers surrounded by a layer of silver or white trim. Keep the logo black, just put green trim around SOX. Keep it off the bills. (Ha green bills ha I'm so funny) Keep it off the secondary logo too. Keep it simple on the ST/BP as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 For the home and alternate, I'd put the green in the silver's place, because the completely green logos look really out of place.That said, I think that what the White Sox already have is pretty near perfection.

quantum Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I don't know if it says "Sox", but I like how this turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderstruk Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 They are going to be in a green uniform for one home game this year. Fri., Sep. 9 Angels Halfway to St. Patrick's Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogbarks55 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Sorry, guy, but Green is jut NOT a "baseball color." I don't care for Oakland, Tampa Bay and Seattle's use of the color. As for the Chisox, this is probably the longest tenure in their history that they've stayed with basically the same style and color of uniforms. The fans seem to like it and it's among the leaders in merchandise sales. Why cheapen the look with tacky green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the admiral Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 How is green not a baseball color? Grass is green. Fenway is green. Lots of parks have green in the color scheme.That being said the White Sox shouldn't touch a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichO Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Its great that they're bringing back the green seats- but I have to say that green just isn't a Sox color- although it looks decent in the concept.Now the slightest red trim on the current unis would be perfect. Completes the '59 look they've had for about a decade now (except for not having sleeve numbers which is fine by me- and I won't even get into the "did they were black of navy" argument) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesjduncan Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The Chicago White Sox currently have one of the best uniform concepts in the history of professional sports. Takes a big set to play with it. It doesn't look that bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgnmrwrw Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 Here we go with red replacing green.I think I like these. I know I really like the road gray. I'm afraid everyone will think the B.P. screams Chicago Bulls too much. And it probably does.C+C welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korkie Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 I like the addition of the red. It harkens back to CWS history while I agree that the BP is "Bulls-ish", the black and red is unique in baseball and the subtle addition of red in the other jerseys, especially the roads (love the black alt. too) , makes the unis *pop*. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 aaaand now...in the outfield...from NORTH CAOLINA...Michael....JORRRRRRDAAAAAAN!!!!!!! oddly enough, I remember having a little MJ book (pre-retirement 1) and he was workin out with the Sox back when they were wearing the Campbell's C...back then they had red BPs, so this isn't really that much of a stretch.

dgnmrwrw Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 OK, I updated the red set above. I think it's my final concept. Thanks to all for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogbarks55 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 The red and black are mucho primero better. Just add sleeves to the white pinstriped set. Keep the sleeveless for alternates, like on Sundays in July when it's 95 in Chitown.And I meant green isn't a baseball UNIFORM color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
