NDFreek Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Can the White Sox just do 1959 throwbacks already and call it a day? Honestly, as a lifelong teenage Sox fan, I DESPISE the batterman logo. The jerseys weren't good, and it reminds me of something people from 1950 thought baseball jerseys in 2050 would look like (In fact I think the whole reason behind adopting the uniform was to look futuristic). Sure the Sox were good in '83 and had the likes of Kittle, Fisk, Luzinski, Baines,Dotson, Hoyt, and LaRussa on it, but they still chocked in the championship series! 1959 is a more memorable team to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEANS Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I totally agree but I'm pretty sure they wore these throwbacks recently, in 2005 or 2006. Put me down for the 1917 set, they have worn those recently too but I think it's such a great looking jersey. https://www.andrewsterlachini.com/ or http://dribbble.com/MEANS1974  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The Sox wore the 1959 throwbacks in 2005 against the Dodgers and looked incredible. They wore flannel jerseys with stirrups and the correct font, and were about as close to authentic as we'll see today. In 2009 against the Dodgers, they wore crappy doubleknit versions, which were white (instead of cream) and had some random block font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDFreek Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'd rather have the same constant GOOD throwback than bad ones. They were the 83 ones way too much. The throwbacks were supposed to be for Sundays last year, and the Sox still wore them on weekdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podsednik had a walk-off single against the Dodgers in the throwback game in 2009, but the jerseys (or the season) weren't nearly as glorious that time around.

CubsFanBudMan Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Those are great throwbacks, but probably not different enough from the current unis to do what they're doing with the '83s. Most people wouldn't even notice. ...although it could make a solid set even better if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I wish more teams used sleeve numbers. I actually like them. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderbread Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 It's spring training. Majestic always comes up with crap looks and New Era with their stupid caps this time of year.Let me guess is it because they aren't pull overs, they are batting practice jerseys and hats, most teams dont use them in games and its only dumb teams that do use them.

Rays Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I am surprised that the Angels have not removed one of the sleeve patches on their jersey. They are the only team with patches on both sleeves, right ? (non commenmorative) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The Sox maybe should have gone with red instead of silver, seeing as the Bulls and Blackhawks also used those colors in this city. I do like the look of the '59 set, but the time for that has passed. For a team that went through so many different uniform styles and color sets, the Sox finally got it right and found something iconic. This will be the 25th season in the current set, which has seen a World Series title. They don't need to go back to black and red. The just need to undo the damage they did to their road set and limit the black jerseys to once or twice a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
