ARTnSocal Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The Tigers were honoring the Negro League for their weekend home-stand against the White Sox. Tigers wore uniforms of the Detroit Stars, while the Sox sported those of the Chicago American Giants.There was no mention made as to what particular year the uniforms were originally worn.As usual, neither club had throwback batting helmets to go with their set ....

Gothamite Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 that chicago uniform is one of the greatest uniforms i've ever seen in any sport in any era. i love it.But for the intervention of a publicity director, you would have seen that uniform 80 games a season, in all American League ballparks save one.The Yankees almost adopted it (with their "NY" logo over the heart) as their road uniform in the 1970s.

It seems lighter than that (I'm assuming the one the Yanks were considering would've been navy). http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems lighter than that (I'm assuming the one the Yanks were considering would've been navy).I was at this game. The Sox jerseys were dark navy. The photos make them look brighter than they were. Further, the Detroit Stars jerseys were more cream than these photos show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctk Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 i can't find photos of the game, but i do know the game was june 24, 1998. i think sosa hit a home run in that game. the only reason this stands out to me is they showed an image of the uniform during a game on wgn advertising their vineline magazine. if it wasn't this uniform it was one that looked very close to what the sox wore.
