The White Sox announced yesterday that the team will honor the 1983 AL West division champions by wearing a 1983 throwback for Sunday home games this season.  The Sox had previously worn 1983 throwbacks for one game in both the 2003 and 2008 seasons for the 20th and 25th anniversary.

After introducing the idea of throwback uniforms with the first  Turn Back The Clock day in 1990 to celebrate the closing of old Comiskey Park, the White Sox have mostly shied away from throwbacks after 2001, when they wore a 1917-based alternate on Sundays to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the American League.  Last year, however, the team honored the 40th anniversary of the 1972 squad, featuring league MVP Dick Allen, by wearing the team’s red pinstripes at home on Sundays.
