White Sox will wear camouflage jerseys, become biggest copy cats in the history of baseball

by jbox on Jan 31, 2008 8:33 PM PST in News

Home Run Derby just exposed the White Sox. Those unimaginative, sorry bunch of South Siders have just totally ripped off the Padres tradition of wearing Camouflage. Everybody loves to insult us for wearing ugly uniforms whether it be the brown and mustard unis of yesteryear or the camouflage of the present. Even if you think it's a bad idea, at least it was ours. You know what's going to be really annoying? Everybody is going to love how good the White Sox look in their camouflage, that's when we're going to flip out.

There is only one Team of the Military and every body knows it's the the Padres. The rest of these teams are unpatriotic communists. You know it's true.

Apparently it was Mark Buehrle who magically came up with the idea while watching any number of Padres games over the last decade. Not only did he insist that the White Sox wear the camo on the 4th of July, but he had it put into his contract. Buehrle is a fraud and a war profiteer!

The White Sox are a disgrace. I'm calling for Congress to get involved. I want Mark Buehrle under oath! Let's have him tell Uncle Sam where he came up with this idea, so that we can put him behind bars where all copy cats belong!

The best thing about this comment

He uses the name Bobby Jenks, the closer for the ChiSox. Bobby Jenks uses Boom by P.O.D. as his entrance music, presumably because it mentions "the boys from the South". P.O.D. are, as we all know, from San Diego and are actually referring to South Bay, which of course is no where near Chicago.

AGAIN WITH THE WHITE SOX TRYING TO COPY SAN DIEGO!

Seriously, the south side of Chicago needs to quit trying to be like us.

Copied the "South" too

Used to just be the "Side" of Chicago. Then they saw San Diego was in Southern California and they wanted to get all South, too.

True story.

When did we ever wear green st. pats jerseys??

Camo is not the same as green. I don't recall us ever wearing green jerseys. Unless it was on St. Patty's Day, which falls during Spring Training, so who the hell cares who wears what? Have we ever worn green jerseys that weren't camo during the season? If we have, so be it, but I don't remember seeing the Pads sport the green St. Pats jerseys this genius is bitching about.

Oh, and it's funny how a fan of a 90 loss team refers to the Pads as second rate.

We've worn green hats

but I don't think we've worn green jerseys.

Wikipedia tells us that the Reds were the first to wear green caps in 1978 and the White Sox copied them too!

by jbox on Feb 1, 2008 8:50 PM PST up 0 recs

You mean

the green hats that go with the camo unis? I don't think the Padres wear green hats to celebrate ST Patrick's day despite what wikipedia says. I could be wrong though.

by osbug on Feb 2, 2008 7:28 AM PST up 0 recs

I'm pretty sure those are the ones

The green hats for the camo unis are just green hats if I remember right. I'm pretty sure I would remember if the Padres wore green jerseys on St. Patrick's day because they would've been included in their resume for "Ugliest Uniforms".

Funny nobody really mentions the current "shampoo bottle" logos.

by Dex on Feb 2, 2008 10:54 AM PST up 0 recs

Hmmm

Maybe somebody should edit that wikipedia entry to clarify that the Padres wear green hats to go with their Camo Jerseys, not to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The hats are green with tan letters, clearly meant to go with their uniforms. Heck they aren't even Kelly Green.

by osbug on Feb 3, 2008 8:42 AM PST up 0 recs

i think

all the teams wear green hats on st. patrick's day (and yes i'm fully that these games aware it's during spring training). just green hats though, no green jerseys.

Not as bad?!

Your claim is silly and not even true. You'd rather cry and tell us your little sob story about a holiday?

We're talking about the U.S. of A and it's fighting men and women of the military! How dare you sir!

Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America!

by jbox on Feb 1, 2008 9:02 PM PST up 0 recs

you guys are retarded

alright how is mark beurhle a war profiteer? if he took about 20 millions dollars less to stay with a club and honor his country by puting it in his contract to wear the camo jersey. holy crap the padres started it whos cares whens the last time the padres even won a championship? and actually the white sox did start the st paddy's day uniform but you dont see white sox fans bitching about the whole rest of the league stealing that from them because the chicago has class and thats what it takes to win a chamionship unlike the padres who have had what one decent season in the past 10 years. maybe you guys should stop commenting on teams stealing your teams idea of a jersey and go to your teams games instead of sit infront of a computer typing up crap so that maybe you guys have something to look ahead to this season when you finish last in the division. the white sox might have had 90 losses but the last 2 AL champions have came out of the AL central if the padres played there they would have had 110 losses so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

by tdogggy22 on Feb 2, 2008 3:15 PM PST 0 recs

Is this even a real comment?

Obviously, he put it in his contract, which is worth money, and the only reason anybody cares about that contract is because there's a war on. Therefore, he's a war profiteer and should be hung for treason. I am being totally serious.

It's super simple. I'm not sure why people don't get it.

I am physically incapable

of stopping laughing at matter-of-fact-ness of this. I'm trying, but it won't stop being hilarious.

So you admit it!

You admit that the White Sox copied our camouflage jersey.
You claim we don't see you bitching about a holiday uniform, yet your White Sox buddy who commented earlier was bitching about it. So your statement is false. You White Sox fans swear you don't care about your precious St. Paddy's day uniforms but it's all you talk about! That's not even the subject of this post, but you guys just keep bringing it up. You should start a website about St. Paddy's day uniforms, I'd come and comment.
Are you an example of the "class" of Chicago? If so then that statement is false as well. It is insensitive to call people retarded and regarded as rude in many cultures.
There are no MLB games being played right now so we can't go to games. Plus, you're the one sitting in front of a computer whining about a subject that you "claim" not to care about.
Comparing stats is for nerds. Nobody likes nerds.

I think

that tdoggy's post, followed by Dex's and jbox's responses may be my favorite sequence of posts ever on GLB. I love some of the old Wiggins stuff, but I think this wins.

Dear White Sock fans

Nobody cares about your green spring training, St. Paddy's day jersey. We'll care when Leprechauns act heroically defending our great nation against the Axis of Evil.

white sox

Did you know they invented Ireland? It's true, I looked it up on the internets.

San Diego Stadium and Balboa Stadium, that's a powerful one-two.

white sox

the white sox jersey's actually look like soldiers uniforms not something the padres players stole out of elton john's closet.

eliminate padres

and about the south side that we stole that from you guys. the white sox started the southside in 1910 when they moved to (wait for it) southside park so thats why they're called the southsiders. so quit bitching about teams stealing your stuff because the chicago has been in the majors since the majors has been around and the padres are a second tier team who's never won a world series, never will win a world series and will make stupid ass crazy claims like the hobo's that live on san diego's streets that every other team steals their ideas. here's and idea eliminate the padres from the major leagues because they're never gonna truly contend anyways because the only way they even can get into the playoffs is because the national league is horrible.

This comment is illegal

You've just committed an act of treason by providing aid and comfort to the enemy. The Padres are the Team of the Military and you called for them to be disbanded during a time of war.

by jbox on Feb 4, 2008 10:43 AM PST up 0 recs

I don't get why tdoggy22 keeps commenting

Nobody likes the White Sox. I mean, they're the second favorite team in their own city and their only claim to fame is that they apparently "invented" wearing green on St. Patrick's Day, which I'm not even sure is true.

by Dex on Feb 4, 2008 12:46 PM PST up 0 recs

They didn't invent "wearing green"

I think they claim to simply have invented "green." I mean, that is a HUGE claim, to have invented one of the primary colors...

by Winfield's Ghost on Feb 4, 2008 5:48 PM PST up 0 recs

if that is indeed true

then that means they also invented blue and yellow.

Secondary Color

Green is a secondary color made by mixing yellow and blue. But still a huge claim.

Eliminate Padres?

Just when I think I've read the stupidest post ever, you go and post another. Try learning elementary grammar before attempting to inflict your next literary abomination on this message board.

You amaze me! I didn't think it was possible for one person to possess such a vast reservoir of undiluted gibberish! Clearly, the full area of your ignorance is not yet mapped. We are presently only exploring the fringes of that vast expanse. Have you ever noticed that whenever you sit behind a keyboard, some idiot starts typing? To quote Martin Luther King, Jr.: "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

Calling you dull is a gross underestimation of just how tedious you are. You have the personality of a damp sponge and the appeal of a moldy sweat sock. You are the kind of person who, when one first meets you, one doesn't like you. But when one gets to know you better, one hates you. Maybe you wouldn't come across as such a jellyfish-sucking mental midget if you didn't have an intellect rivaled only by the Village Idiot's stupider brother; if your weren't so fat that all the restaurants in town have signs that say: "Maximum Occupancy: 80 Patrons OR You.", or if you weren't uglier than the north-facing end of a south-bound mule. Nah, of course you would.

GET LOST CREEP!

sdsuaztec4 the next prince?

sdsuaztec4: Is your post suppose to piss me off or just try to make yourself feel smart by calling me a jellyfish sucking mental midget? that is the most retarded thing i have ever heard. And if im some idiot who spends all day getting fat and typing indiluted gibberish(awesome come back there buddy) whos the one who's saying jellyfish sucking mental midget and north facing end of a southbound mule. The padres are horrible and their fans make up retarded gibberish like this crap. So save yourself sometime because i aint posting anymore on this site I only did in the first place because you padres fans are about as obnoxious as boston fans. Nobody gives a crap about your elton john jersey's, in which i definetely know affended sdsuaztec4 because hes about a piano neck tie away from being considered the next Prince. So in closing the Padres are horrible and should be wearing rainbow colors for the next 2 years until the major league realizes there about equivalent to every other major league's teams AAA team.

jeez, sdsuaztec4 must be the biggest pimp. I mean, Prince is a virtuoso on the guitar. Have you ever seen him play the blues? It's out of control.

TheThirdGonzalez forgot to mention something. Have of the girls he "pegged" (great euphamism) are famouse because he pegged them. Remember that one girl Carmen Electra for example?

to make us feel deprived by saying you won't post here anymore? I wish it was this easy to get rid of all trolls.

Since the Padres joined the league, they have won the World Series once. Wow, their team is so much better than ours.

And sdsuaztec4, if you really ARE the next Prince, PLEASE take your ridiculous amounts of money and buy the White Sox and bring back the shorts, those were awesome! And maybe send tdogggy22 to school so he can learn proper grammar.
