Some History
The White Sox continue to change the look of their uniform, although they continue to come up with clean, classic looks. On this home uniform, uniform numbers appear on the front of the jersey. Uniform numbers first made their appearance on the front of a uniform in 1952 - the Brooklyn Dodgers were the first team to wear uniform numbers on the front of their jersey. The Braves followed suit in 1953, and the Reds joined in beginning in 1956. The 1916 Cleveland Indians actually wore a uniform number on their sleeve, but it wasn't until the 52 Dodgers that the number made it to the front. This home jersey is reminiscent of a Tigers or Red Sox uniform.
