White Sox Primary Logo

The Chicago White Sox have had a long and storied history, and their primary logo has been an important part of that journey. The current version of the team’s logo dates back to 1976 when the team adopted its iconic “Sox” insignia. This design was created by Jerry Dior and features a white baseball with black stitching on top of a blue background, along with two crossed red bats underneath it. It is one of the most recognizable logos in sports, having remained unchanged for over 40 years now.

Prior to this iteration, there were several versions used throughout the franchise's history since they first began to play in 1901 as one-half of what would eventually become known as Major League Baseball's American League (the other being their cross-town rivals - The Chicago Cubs). In 1910 they changed from using "Chicago" written across their uniforms to simply "White Sox". Then in 1912, they added an interlocking 'CS' which stood for 'Chicago Sox'. This symbol would remain until 1925 when it was replaced by an image depicting two Native Americans shaking hands over the home plate while wearing traditional headdresses; this became known as Chief Noc-A-Homa or Chief Winona depending on who you asked!

In 1951 they switched up again introducing another Native American-themed logo featuring just one figure throwing out his tomahawk while riding atop a horse - this lasted until 1968 before changing once more into what we know today: A classic combination that perfectly encapsulates both traditions & modernity all at once! From humble beginnings through multiple iterations spanning almost 120 years; The White Sox Primary Logo stands proud representing not only America's pastime but also its future too!

Commemorating a World Series Champion

One year later, the 1907 Chicago White Sox, fresh off a World Series win, celebrated with something truly revolutionary—the first commemorative sleeve patch in MLB history.
The May 4, 1907 edition of Sporting Life described the White Sox' uniforms:
The White Sox are real modest in letting the public know that they are the champions of the world. Instead of "World's Champions" being across their breasts a la the New York Giants, they have their emblem in a monogram on the shirt sleeves. Read More...
