The Chicago White Sox are going the throwback route again. After wearing their 1972 throwbacks all of last season, they’ll don the 1983 set for their Sunday home games.
This time period takes back to one of the team’s most successful seasons. The team won 99 games but lost in the ALCS. But regardless, this is a great money grab for the fans and it brings back a uniform set that was not the best, but still beloved in the town.
The red, white and blue look along with the player number on the pants is a unique look in itself. Numbers on the pants isn’t something new to baseball, but I think the White Sox wore it best. It somehow matched the perfect time period of strange uniforms and crazy ideas.
After all, this wasn’t the craziest thing the White Sox did during that era anyway.
I’m all for this and I think bringing back a unique set for a throwback like this will be fun. I personally like this design even though I am glad that they’re done with. But one season of this? I can handle it.
