Last year the Chisox celebrated the 40th anniversary of their 1972 team with these nice throwbacks…
This year, they’ll celebrate the 30th anniversary of their division-winning 1983 team by wearing these at Sunday home games:
These are OK, but I like last year’s throwbacks better.
I’m not generally in favor of the White Sox doing throwbacks for the sole reason that the uniforms they’re wearing now are the best in their history. The White Sox wearing throwback uniforms is like someone being married to Anne Hathaway while hanging portraits of ex-wife Hillary Clinton in their house.

Just a heads-up for those still working on their 2012 Topps set – my local Target didn’t have 2013 series 1, but they have (or had) loose packs of 2012 Series 2 on sale for $1 a pop. I still need over 100 cards from Series 2, but someone had already scooped up all the packs. Maybe you’ll have better luck.
What are you short for series 2? Send me an email and we’ll talk – I would love to move some of the dupes I have.
I love the red unis. the 83′s are ok. But please don’t let them bring back Veeck’s softball uniforms, especially not the shorts version.
