They should bring back the 'Good Guys Wear Black' from 20 years ago. Or 20 years later.
My favorite throwbacks are the 1917 uni's;

The annual SoxFest takes over the Palmer House Hilton one week from tonight through Sunday, January 27th. Before past & present White Sox take part in the team's annual fan convention downtown, there is news regarding what the Sox will be sporting for Sunday home games again this season at U.S. Cellular Field. Just like last year when the Sox sported 1972 throwbacks in honor of that team's 40th anniversary on Sunday afternoons, the team announced today that the team will sport 1983 throwbacks in honor of that team's 30th anniversary winning the American League West by 20 games. Just in case you forgot what those '83 uniforms looked like, check this out... https://twitter.com/robwarrencws/status ... to/1/large |

Stick with the red uni's. That uniform from the 80's is nasty. Looks like the Astros old uni. |

KS, the thread should say "30 Years Later." But I can't say that because I don't want to attack SHARK. You tell him. |

The lettering on the untucked/collared uniform was cool, but they...were...untucked...and...collared. |

My interest in baseball and the prevalence of stirrups are inversely related. |

As a young kid, I liked some crazy ass design with a base color of aqua and a star on the front. I embraced my fabulousness as a yout. |

I wouldn't want to see them now, but they were kind of cool back then. Old guys hated them because they looked like sloppy softball uniforms with the untucked jerseys. And if old guys hated them, I damn sure was gonna like them. Pass the joint! |

My favorites are the 1987-89 uniforms. Nice colors. Simple design, yet not boring.

I was REALLY young in that era but the something about the rusticness of the crowd/stadium/team attracted me. I could never figure out as a yout what South Side Hit Men meant and why the logo had the guy with a violin case. |

I think that's the only time their jersey ever said "White Sox" and not just "Sox." I really like that C hat. The black and silver stuff is pretty good. The cool thing about the South Side Hitmen stuff is that the White Sox actually wore white socks. Not red or black. |

The 1987 Uniforms had Chicago on them for the away jerseys.
