Whether you DIDN'T CARE about the change or not is irrelevant. Numerous people who posted in this thread before you recognized the change, find it interesting, like to know the reason why it happened, and like to comment on it. Good grief, there are entire websites devoted to this kind of stuff (Chris Creamer's Sports Logos) and blogs (Uni-Watch on ESPN.com). Scott Reifert made a comment on it in his blog on Whitesox.com. People follow uniform changes. It's an interesting niche in sports culture. This is a Sox message board. We're allowed to talk about White Sox related items. Uniform changes interest some people. What you did was come into the thread and say, "meh, who cares." Nobody is saying this is a world-changing event or as important as North Korea aiming missiles at people. It's just an interesting discussion point. What I'm astounded by is that you're claiming that you couldn't describe the pant stripe that the Sox wore for 22 years and don't pay that much "attention to detail" and "didn't care", yet, in the '83 uniform thread, you seemed pretty damned opinionated and informed on those unis, which they wore for only five years some 30 years ago: Quote:
How about this...if you have nothing to add to the thread, perhaps don't butt in and try to piss all over it. |

I saw on Facebook today that the Minnesota Vikings changed the belts that hold up their uniform pants for next season.

Oh, and I will also say that I think the stripe does make a difference. I personally think the pants and jersey do look worse with only a black stripe. If you look around the league, most teams that have some kind of stripe or piping running down their pant legs go with more than one color. There's a reason they do that. It just looks better.

This move absolutely makes no sense, like when the SoX decided a market study needed to be done in regards to the Diamond Sock patch. This team continues to befuddle and estrange me. The road and alternate were PERFECT. *** is going on at 35th & Shields? you want Branding? Fix the damn Home uniform. Make it look more like the 59 jersey. Or even the 72 jersey. Put the Diamond Sock on the home. There was nothing more to be done .......... Change for the sake of change is as ridiculous as doing nothing at all. But when you change and end up Messing up the look and doing more damage ........... well thats White Sox Baseball for you. My anger here, is that there were 1,089 other things that need Marketings attention, this was very far down the list, and Im quite shocked this was on their "problem" list to begin with ![]()

At this point, I'm not even debating whether or not the stripe looks good or not. I don't think it was a necessary change, but it's not the end of the world. What I am AMAZED at is that some people here think we shouldn't be allowed to point out a change in the uniforms without being ridiculed. That's highly entertaining. |

Uh, wait, what is wrong with the home uniform? It's absolutely perfect. It's based on the gorgeous late '50s style uniforms but doesn't have any ridiculous colors that have no logical place on the jersey of a team called the WHITE Sox.

Did we time warp back to 1995? Did the White Sox really do this?
White Sox front office really out of touch once again with what really matters. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

aka, MAKE IT BIGGER SO YOU CAN SEE IT ON TV SCREENS (ie "Branding") I often wondered why i preferred my 59 and my 72 game-worns, until one day I stood them altogether. THE LOGO IS 2" Bigger, and really stands out. One of my favorite alltime pics, is from 2005, the sox are all at home plate celebrating a walk-off win against the Dodgers, wearing the 1959 jerseys..... the logo from the jerseys completely dominates and Jumps off the pages at you An excellent logo. |

I find it RIDICULOUS, that the sox, in their infinite wisdom, somehow
have been wringing their collective hands trying to solve this seemingly Elephant-in-the-room problem called The Road jersey ![]() How about fix the concession stands so it doesnt take me 30 minutes to order something? Fix the damn out of town scoreboard I dont even look at it its so annoying How about fix the damn scoreboard itself. The Sox have basically 3 scoreboards in the outfield, all each showing you different stats from the same game............ How about "branding" your product at home, in the city of Chicago? I really would love to have sat in on the conference calls, and boardroom meetings on this subject ............ |

Black and white stripe vs. black stripe on the pants the players wear that not even i'm guessing a quarter of the people watching the game would notice. Yeah. It's a bit ridiculous to me, but whatever. ![]()

I'm NOT a fan of the vest look either ............
HOWEVER ................ It looked Amazing on the White Sox. that look can only be pulled off by limited teams, and the SOX were one of them. Those vests brought the SOX a ton of luck back in 2005 I'd love to see the SOX wear those here and there again |
