amfleisch Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 We're the Windy City Irish-where craic is always best. Where every day is Paddy's Day and everyone's a guest. If you're Irish on the North Side or Irish on the West Welcome to the South Side come join our Irish Fest!Chorus:We're the South Side Irish as our fathers were before. We come from the Windy City and we're Irish to the core From Bridgeport to Beverly from Midway to South Shore We're the South Side Irish-Let's sing it out once more!Our parents came from Mayo, from Cork and Donegal. We come from Sabina, St. Kilian's and St. Gall St. Leo, Visitation, Little Flower and the rest. The South Side parishes are mighty-they're the best! ChorusWe live on the South Side-Mayor Daley lived here too. The Greatest Irish Leader that Chicago ever knew and he was always so proud of his South Side Irish roots! So here's to His Honor to his memory we'll be true. ChorusWe sing the songs our fathers sang when they were growing up Rebel songs of Erin's Isle in the South Side Irish Pubs and when it comes to baseball-we have two favorite clubs The Go-Go White Sox... and whoever plays the Cubs!

tohasbo Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 I am scared to see what the NBA is doing for those ST. Patricks's Day game jerseys. I hope that do not look craptacular like the Sacramento alternates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthSidePride Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 They did this last year as well, and it actually works great and looked fantastic. The south side irish, myself included, wanted them to be worn more than once a year. pictures upcomming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGivens87 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 RED Sox Green JerseysDid the RED Sox Actually wear these or is this a fashion jersey? Yep, along with creen caps as well...they've been wearing these for the past few St .Patty's Days. I like 'em. IIRC, there was a year where they also had green bases.

Max Power Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 There are a lot of Irish people in Chicago, particularly on the South Side. I'm almost positive that the cornerstone of Old Comiskey Park was set on St. Patrick's Day and was green. So this is a very logical (and popular) promotion. I think the jerseys look good. I hope this is an annual event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I'd like to see some silver and black trim added this year, and maybe a shamrock sleeve patch. In fact, while I'm thinking of it, isn't about time the Sox put the diamond sock patch on their home unis? They've been patchless since the renaming of Comiskey, and the sleeves just look, I dunno, empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But couldn't they find an actual Irish holiday instead of making up Un-St. Patrick's Day (think Alice in Wonderland) sometime in September?

They've been patchless since the renaming of Comiskey, and the sleeves just look, I dunno, empty. I really like the current look. The picture posted above is a replica. On the authentic jerseys, the letters/numbers are two-color. They are green with a white underlayer. I think it really sets the jersey off.As for the diamond patch on the home jerseys, I disagree. I experimented with it, but it doesn't look right on a pinstriped jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpoh59 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 This year, I hope they break out a green variant on the black alternate jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZzyzx41 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Geez people it's spring training for crying out loud. Do you also get upset cause they don't wear their regular season jerseys until the first game of the regular season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazberg Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Living in Chitown and going to as many games as I do, I can tlel you that once they introduced all the green merch, it sold like hot cakes. All season I saw green hats, shirts, jerseys, etc. There's a lot of Irish in the city and they like showing it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
