HatCityEnforcer Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 You might have noticed I've been a bit busy Anyways, I decided to try my hand at a White Sox concept...and went in a different direction, but stayed true to the team's heritage...First off, I brought back the old school SOX logo that they used for the first part of the century...if anything, it harkens back to when the Pale Hose were one of the dominant teams in the AL in the early days.Secondly, I changed the color scheme up...ditched the black and made it navy blue like in the 60s (when the team had a few near misses)...Next, I went with a jersey style from the early 70s..as in before they went to that hideous red idea....once again, your eyes aren't playing tricks...those are NAVY sanitaries with WHITE stirrups (yes, I read that UniWatch a while back...stirrups with striping need to come back)...Lastly, I kept a few things from the current logo set...Anyhoo, C&C always appreciated FANTASY TEAMSHousatonic U.

stlramsfan Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Reminds me of the Black Sox scandal, I had to do a report on a list of chosen topics from the 90's, and I picked the Black Sox, just to let you know. And the concept I love all of it except you might want to work on the primary logo you did the "Chicago White Sox Baseball Club" script looks a little funny, but I'd give it a B+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralW91 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 As always, I'm impressed by your work. The only thing I'd fix, is the primary. There's gotta be some way to make the words proportional. Other than that, it's perfect. www.ABAsite.tk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclopsis Joe Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Is it just me, or does the Mets BP and ChiSox BP look the same, only different colors? Is that like..a have-to-be or something?

tmorss9 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Awesome. If their current uniforms weren't so good, this is what they should wear. way to go. "Hats for bats. Keep bats warm. Gracias" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpmn Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Great ideas! I like the look that is something different from all of the black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnmrwrw Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Wow, this is great work. Agree with other posters regarding the lettering on the primary. Other than that, I really love these. The stripes on the socks are GREAT.Of course, I can never see them switching to this on the field. But that doesn't change the fact that this is a very well-executed idea and WOULD look great on the field.

spyboy1 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 There are many things about this I like a lot.There are somethings I'm not so sure about, mostly those socks.The one thing that I don't care for is the use of the current script font on the road jersey when everything else is retro. The secondary home logo may use a modern picture of a sock, but when contained in the baseball diamond, it looks quite retro. I'd choose a different font for that with a more retro look, similar to the one they used in the 1910's era the SOX logo is from. Or even something simple like from the 50'sAside from that one suggestion, a very nice package overall.

Slammersman Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 The color and everything is great but the current logo is still a better logo I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesL Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I like the "Tiffany" script better than the cursive script. The caps are pretty far out, but the home uniforms, I'd stick with the pinstripes, and ditch the numbers on the fronts. Everything else looks decent.

winghaz Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 And the current White Sox road script isn't exactly new. It was used in the '60s and '70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Very cool.Any other pics from that game? Such as their opponents, the Brewers? I seem to recall that they wore gray road uniforms with pinstripes and block "BREWERS" script in black. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

PackerBadger Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I seem to recall that they wore gray road uniforms with pinstripes and block "BREWERS" script in black.Actually, I think they just wore their usual road unis that day. The White Sox were the only participants in the first Turn Back the Clock Day. Unless the Brewers were wearing their 1987 road throwbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriqjaffe Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Is that Ozzie Guillen standing in the middle holding the bat? Sure is. And the skinny guy standing on Ozzie's left (under the page crease) is Sammy Sosa.There are a few pictures of TBTC day over at White Sox Interactive, inside their "Old Comiskey" gallery. They're not close-up images, but there you go.Heck, while you're there, I've got a bunch of wallpapers up there...The Sox also turned off the scoreboard & PA for that game, they actually had a guy with a megaphone announcing the players.

Yep, been to the WSI site plenty of times, and fondly remember that first turn back the clock game. It has since been lost, but the flannel replica hat I bought was the most comfortable one I ever wore. The Sox haven't always done everything great, but they sure know how to put together a TBTC event.LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyboy1 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 i disagree. the current white sox road script (the one used in this concept) is the best road font in the majors, imo. It's not that I don't like that font by itself at all. In this case what I was saying is you have a 1910 logo with a 1960's font and I think it's a mismatch and personally I would go with an older font to match up better with the logo for this concept.
