Earlier this season, the White Sox turned back the clock to 1959 to honor the late great Minnie Minoso with these retro jerseys during their Crosstown Cup series vs. the Cubs.
On Aug. 27 against the Seattle Mariners, they're jumping to 1976 to bring back the ever-so-popular collared blue and white V-neck shirts for #ThrowbackThursday. (See picture below)
And the White Sox aren't sure how to feel about that.
"Just from watching MLB Network the past few years, I don’t know if it’s the best or worst jerseys," Rookie center fielder Trayce Thompson said. "I’ve just seen them on that segment from MLB Network. They are definitely interesting."

The collared shirts may not be the interesting part. The famous 1976 throwbacks also featured shorts, which former White Sox player and current assistant hitting coach Harold Baines said he was "just glad I didn't have to wear" those.
The White Sox won't either. Or will they?

"I don’t know. I highly doubt we will be wearing shorts," Thompson said. "It would be pretty funny. It would feel like Semi-Pro almost, with Will Ferrell and Jackie Moon. It would be pretty funny."
In this era, you rarely see players sporting high socks like they did back then. It's an old tradition, but a new generation.
For rookies like Thompson, he's just happy to wear a big-league uniform.
"Yeah, nowadays with the pants, guys and their pants, they have to be perfect for the most part," Thompson said. "Back in the 90s, with the shoes, guys wear the pants over the shoes now. The preferences have gone way up I think. Guys like me and [Tyler Saladino] and [Carlos] Rodon, all the rookies, we just wear what we are given and try not to complain too much.

"I’m sure the starting pitcher have to feel most comfortable, but we are also in the big leagues so I’m going to wear proudly whatever is given to me."
Even though former White Sox pitcher Ed Farmer admitted, like Baines, the 1976 jerseys were "the ugliest I have ever worn," he also said they were "the most comfortable I have ever worn."
And that's good enough for Thompson.
"I’m sure they won’t look great," Thompson said. "But if they are comfortable then why not."
