    Anyone have info on White Sox 1972 Spring Training Uniforms?

    I realize the White Sox used a knit, no name on back, large # on back, and number on chest during the regular 1972 season.... But, what type/style Spring Training uniform did they use in '72 ?

    I recently ran across a Home knit red pinstripe with a name on back plate; Chicago White Sox Property tag in collar, and no # on chest... It's a cool looking uniform. There isn't a year tag on the jersey. It's a Medalist Sand Knit by McGregor.

    Was thinking this could have been used during Spring Training in 1972...

    ??? Thanks for any response that might shed a little light...

    MacGregor wasn't associated with Sand-Knit 'til 1985.
    Never heard of a White Sox property tag.

    I bet they wore recycled flannels in Spring "72. Don't know for sure. Your jersey sounds like a retail item. an you post a photo?

      Here are a couple pics (little dark & fuzzy pic...uniform is actually white, but you can see tags; in collar & on pants waistband). Maybe this was an oldtimers' game uniform ?

      (as the pants, red belt & socks are complete).

      There is a name on the back (plate n.o.b.) ('72 era player).

      Thank you for help....

        That is mid-1980s tagging, and of course the Sox were not wearing red pinstripes during those years. Like you said, possibly and Old-Timers Game uniform.

          Bob,

          Never seen one of those before.

          From what I can find on the internet, the Sox hosted an old timers game in August of 1986. It sounds like a good assumption that this is an old timers game uniform. What's the name on back? Let me guess - Horlen or Peters?

          Looking for any White Sox jersey from Richie Zisk.

            Thanks for the responses... I'm about 75% believing it's an old timers' uni...
            Wish I could find some pics of mid to late '80's events at Comiskey.

            As Mike (Karamax Joe) says, there was an '86 event (but, I thought they wore the early '80's jerseys for that year....not sure...can't find any pics.)

            Thanks again for the replies. Hey Mike...wish I had the 67 Causey back. LOL.
            Peters wasn't with the Sox during the red pinstripe years.
