The meaning of those uniforms...

The Chicago White Sox has long been noted for its many uniform changes and innovations. In fact, one of their innovations was in 1960 where the Chicago White Sox became the first team in a major sport to put the last name of a players name on their jersey. Initially, the Chicago White Sox uniforms had a block "C" in red and the uniforms shade of blue was often changed starting with navy and then to midnight blue (on white). The Chicago White Sox most famous logo debuted in 1912, it featured a roman-style "S" lettering with "O" in the first curve and "X" in the bottom curve. They wore this uniform during their win in the 1917 World Series championship and the 1919 Black Sox scandal. The Chicago White Sox would in fact go through a lot of changes throughout the years. When Eddie Einhorn and Jerry Reinsdorf became the new owners of the Chicago White Sox, they announced a contest for fans to create a new uniform. The winning entry was the word "SOX" written across the jersey front with red and blue stripes on the sleeves. It was a good choice because it was in those jerseys that the Chicago White Sox won 99 games and the AL West championships in 1983, gaining the honor of having the best record in the majors. Presently, the Chicago White Sox uniform consists of the old English "SOX" logo. The team's primary color has changed from blue to black with silver trim and has only experienced minor modifications such as black game jerseys and vests since then.
