Sully Baseball Honors THE HORRIFIC WHITE SOX UNIFORMS OF THE MID 1980s

Man these were horrific.
I would argue they were the ugliest uniforms of all time.

I know some of you will disagree.

Some will say they weren't even the worst White Sox uniforms ever.

Some will bring up the Bermuda Shorts they wore in 1976.





Others will say "What about the lapels?"
And yes, they did have big collars like the one Ralph Garr has in this 3D card.



















But take a look at these duds (both meanings.)
And soak it in.




The SOX across the chest on a top that looks like pajamas.

The white front of the cap that makes it look like one of those cheap hats you'd get at a pizza parlor.

THE NUMBER ON THE LEG!!!








And the batting helmet was a solid blue with the ugly SOX across it.

No uniform screamed out "Short Season Single A Ball!" more.











The worst thing about these unis?
Some great players best known with other teams played in these threads that Gil Gerard would reject on Buck Rogers.






Tom Seaver?

Thanks obscure "Compensation Draft!"


















Carlton Fisk?

Thanks incompetent Red Sox front office who forgot to mail Fisk his contract!
















Steve Carlton?

Well he didn't know when to hang them up.












So while most teams have taken the route of classic looking uniforms, the Staff at Sully Baseball had to tip our hats to a uniform so ugly that they overshadow SHORTS!

Sometimes the clock should not be turned back

If we learned anything from the Back to the Future movies, it was that the time space continuum is delicate and should not be meddled with.

Also we learned that by parts 2 and 3, Christopher Lloyd was completely incomprehensible.

Well speaking of 1985, the White Sox broke out their unis from the mid 1980s...
I am all for turn back the clock night... but for God Sake look at them!

The Mid 1980s White Sox uniforms never got the crap they deserve.

The big SOX across the front, the pajama like top, the number on the leg.

This is the ugliest uniform in their teams history and this team once had their players wear lapels and shorts!

The person who designed the uniforms in Any Given Sunday thinks these stink.

And worst of all, they had great players wear these threads.
Not just Harold Baines... but Hall of Famers Carlton Fisk, Tom Seaver and Steve Carlton all wore these clown uniforms.

Look at Seaver's uniform.
His hat makes it even worse!

It has the white front so it looks like those cheap caps that businesses would print out during the 1980s.
Tom Seaver was the best pitcher of his generation and his hat looks like he was promoting Jordan's Furniture.

So folks... not all nostalgia is good.
Not everything was better in the old days.

And some uniforms should be retired.
