22. Chicago White Sox

Let us move our attention to the Chicago White Sox, a baseball team that does not wear white socks and whose home jersey prominently features the word “Sox” written in black. The team also frequently wears black alternate jerseys, while their road jerseys are heavy on the black text. It’s hard to use white on a baseball jersey given the fact that home jerseys are white and road jerseys are grey, but it’s just slightly comical when evaluating the White Sox.

The White Sox have essentially left their uniforms unchanged since 1991. Their home jerseys are white with black pinstripes and an intertwined “Sox” running down the left chest in black. The road greys feature “Chicago” in script across the chest. The home and road hats are the same — black with the chest “Sox” logo in white.

There is really absolutely nothing to get excited about with these uniforms, although there isn’t much fun that can be worked into a design for a team named after socks. The White Sox do score some points for their throwback red, white and blue jerseys that they wore from 1982 to 1986.

When it comes to Chicago baseball, the White Sox are definitely the red-headed stepchild. They play away from the bustling heart of the city and have one of the most boring stadiums in the league. Their uniforms do nothing to shake the notion that they are a second-class citizen in a Cubs-mad city.
