Paul would have loved out high school baseball uniforms. Purple vest with black undershirts, skin tight purple pinstripe pants, purple hats, and of course purple socks… no stirrups. If we had batting gloves they were supposed to be purple or black. Only half way redeeming thing was the pants ended at the calf, so the sock showed.

Sorry, only one s in shoes. & Reggie’s jersey looks thin to me, not we. Though now that I point it out more will think the same. ;)

Let’s try that asymmetry link again.

Personally, David, I think that offcenter lacing is genius and looks fantastic! I'm a big fan of asymmetry in sshoes. What's with the 2 on Reggie's jersey? It looks quite thin on top to we, like they squeezed it in. Here's a thought: What if the not-White Sox actually wore white socks? How seriously cool would that be? Though maybe not with the away grays.

due to the abnormal amount of soccer kits/cleat discussion on this page as of late ill ad this bit of trivia. Inter Milan, who won the Coppa Italia and was awarded the league due to the top 2 teams fixing more games, unveiled their jersey last week. http://img445.images...
the target shaped italian flag on the arm is for winning the Coppa Italia. Normally that would be put between the swoosh and the clubs crest but tat spot was left open because Inter was so sure that they would be rightfully awarded lo scudetto that they left that spot open for the scudetto to be added to their kit. now that is ballsy.

Check the close-up of Juan Pierre’s legs…the stirrups don’t match front and back. When I played ball back in the 60’s & 70’s, the higher stirrup arch went in the back, the lower in the front. Pierre has one each way.

As for soccer shoes on the diamond, on my senior HS baseball team (’72) our 2nd baeman (Jimbo) was an all-state soccer player and he wore his soccer cleats to play baseball. Our coach hated them; and since the coach was a jerk, Jimbo kept wearing the shoes to piss him off, even after he was temporarily benched for wearing them.

That’s what I was talking about from Tuesday night’s game (comment #52). Why the hell would they not be wearing black socks to match?!?

A little off topic, but the Cincy Reds wear red socks with black sleeves on the road (example: Royce Clayton in the 7/26 game at Houston). I’ve always thought that the color of a team’s socks, belt, and sleeves should match. But it would be strange for the Reds to not to wear red socks (ala the redstockings and redlegs days). What does everyone else think?

Finally found a photo

The White Sox never wear white socks. As far as I know, there isn’t even a player on the current roster who wears black stirrups over white sanitaries.

What about white stirrups over solid covered sanitaries? This isn’t really in relation to the White Sox matter, it’s just an interesting idea.
