1912 Chicago White Sox season explained

In 1912, the Chicago White Sox debuted one of the most enduring and famous logos in baseball – a large "S" in a Roman-style font, with a small "O" inside the top loop of the "S" and a small "X" inside the bottom loop.

History of SOX Logo

This logo was first used in 1912.

This is the logo associated with the 1917 World Series championship team, and the 1919 Black Sox.

With a couple of brief interruptions, the dark blue logo with the large "S" lasted through 1938 (but continued in a modified block style into the 1940s).

Team Colors

Through the 1940s, the White Sox team colors were primarily navy blue trimmed with red.
