<P> The White Sox then switched their regular uniform style once more . In September, for the final series at Old Comiskey Park, the old English "SOX" logo (a slightly simplified version of the 1949--63 logo) was restored, and the new uniform also had the black pinstripes restored . The team's primary color changed back to black, this time with silver trim . The team also introduced a new sock logo--a white silhouette of a sock centered inside a white outline of a baseball diamond--which appeared as a sleeve patch on the away and alternate uniforms until 2011 when the patch was switched with the primary logo on the away uniform . With minor modifications (i.e., occasionally wearing vests, black game jerseys) the White Sox have used this style ever since . </P> <P> During the 2012 and 2013 seasons, the White Sox wore their throwback uniforms at home every Sunday, starting with the 1972 red - pinstriped throwback jerseys worn during the 2012 season, followed by the 1981--86 uniforms the next season . In the 2014 season, the "Winning Ugly" throwbacks were promoted to full - time alternate status, and is now worn at home on select dates . In one game during the 2014 season, the White Sox paired their throwbacks with a cap featuring the batter logo instead of the wordmark "SOX"; this is currently their batting practice cap prior to games in the throwback uniforms . </P> <P> The White Sox were originally known as the White Stockings, a reference to the original name of the Chicago Cubs . To fit the name in headlines, local newspapers such as the Chicago Tribune abbreviated the name alternatively to Stox and Sox . Charles Comiskey would officially adopt the White Sox nickname in the club's first years, making them the first team to officially use the "Sox" name . The Chicago White Sox are most prominently nicknamed "the South Siders", based on their particular district within Chicago . Other nicknames include the synonymous "Pale Hose"; "the ChiSox", a combination of "Chicago" and "Sox", used mostly by the national media to differentiate them between the Boston Red Sox (BoSox); and "the Good Guys", a reference to the team's one - time motto "Good guys wear black", coined by broadcaster Ken Harrelson . Most fans and Chicago media refer to the team as simply "the Sox". The Spanish language media sometimes refer to the team as Medias Blancas for "White Socks ." </P> <P> Several White Sox teams have received nicknames over the years: </P>
