Chicago White Sox: Three throwback jerseys we want to see
The Chicago White Sox have a lot of sweet jerseys in their history but there are three specific ones we want to see them wear as throwbacks in 2020.
The Chicago White Sox are always a well-dressed team. They might not play as well as they look but there is no doubt that their jersey history catalog is solid. They currently wear four really nice jerseys that all fans love because they are clean. They also do a great job representing the colors and logos that make this team what it is.
Their home jerseys are the beautiful whites with black pinstripes. They join the other teams with pinstripe jerseys as the teams with the best look on their home diamonds. They have the traditional gray jerseys with Chicago written in script across the chest and they are awesome. Their all-black alternates are awesome and they have worn them both at home and on the road which is nice.
On Sundays at home, they have been wearing the red white and blue throwbacks for a while and those are some of the nicest jerseys in all of Major League Baseball. They were worn by the White Sox from 1981-86. They debuted them to be the Sunday home jerseys in 2013 and then made them the permanent jersey in that instance from 2014 to now. They are well known as the “Winning Ugly” jerseys even though there is nothing ugly about them.
So, could the White Sox go on to use other throwback jerseys mixed in there? The team is very old and has a lot of history so it would be awesome for them to start to show off some of that history. These are the three throwback jerseys we want to see them wear the most:
Uniform One
The Chicago White Sox used some awesome jerseys as their Sunday home jerseys in 2012. They can be described as the red pinstripe jerseys. The original form of these was worn by the White Sox from 1971-1975. They only wore them as Sunday home jerseys in 2012 which is a shame because they are very cool. The “winning ugly” jerseys replaced them on Sundays at home which is an okay replacement but it would be much better if they wore using both.
These jerseys are very unique because as far as pinstripes, the White Sox have mostly ever used black pinstripes on white jerseys. It has become a pretty unique color scheme to them as far as baseball teams but a flash of red is really cool every now and then. A lot of fans embraced this jersey in 2012 because of how cool it was.
If the White Sox ever busted these out again, fans would surely be happy to enjoy them and possibly even purchase them. The hat even had a uniqueness to it as the “SOX” on it was shaped a bit differently than it is on their normal black hats. This is totally a jersey that the White Sox need to bring back.
Uniform Two
There is something special about baseball jerseys from the early days of the game. Even though they are fit a bit more when they are worn now, the nostalgia behind them is really cool for people who weren’t around during those times. For the Chicago White Sox, there are so many jerseys like that because this team is so old.
The jerseys that the White Sox wore in 1929 were so cool. The ones they wore on the road were cool as they were grey with “Chicago” written across in navy blue but the home jerseys are the ones they should bring back sometime. The jersey can be seen in the picture above has the “O” and the “X” placed in between the loops of the “S” both on the chest and on the hat. It is a really good look for a baseball uniform and definitely one they should bring back.
The White Sox were trying to remove themselves from the “Black Sox” scandal that happened ten years prior at that point, but wearing them now would have nothing to do with that. In fact, seeing the modern-day White Sox players dawning jerseys this old would be really fun to see. Hopefully, we can see something like this or at least one that is similarly old.
Uniform Three
The White Sox have had a lot of sweet jerseys over the years. The ones that a lot of modern-day fans want to see are the pinstripe vests. They had these in the early 2000s and folks loved them. They are basically the same exact thing as their normal pinstripe home jerseys except they were cutoff like vests and worn above black shirts. It looked very clean.
Over the past month or so, the discussion about these jerseys was a popular one. People across the fanbase of this team discussed it at length and even team beat reporters like Chuck Garfien got in on the fun. He ran a poll that had 81.5 percent of 3,704 people voting yes to having these jerseys come back this day. Out of any specific jersey the White Sox have worn in their history, not many get the discussion going as much as this one. That makes it seem like there is a real chance that it comes back one day.

The White Sox have made very little changes to their home, alternate, and away jerseys since 1990. The only little modification was the time that their pinstripes were also made into vest jerseys. Obviously, there are a lot of jerseys to pick from but we are curious as to which ones the fans would most want to see come back sometime in the future.
