White Sox Retro ’83s Become Permanent Alternate Uniform
The Chicago White Sox are bringing back their 1983 retro uniforms from last season as a “permanent uniform” beginning in the 2014 season. Basically what this means is the ’83 throwback worn in 2013 becomes a standard alternate jersey and is available out of the usual uniform rotation in the
