1977: You Had to Be There to Understand How Special It Was
The White Sox will honor a special era in team history tonight by wearing the collared blue and white V-neck jerseys first worn during the 1976 season.
The Sox wore the pull-over jerseys pajama style outside the navy trousers from 1976-81, but the uniforms are perhaps most identified with the 1977 South Side Hitmen. The ’77 team was one of the franchise’s most popular and exciting teams who battled the division-winning Royals and Twins for the American League West title, were in first place from the beginning of July to mid-August and ultimately finished in third place with 90 victories.
