As long as they have red socks…

I’ve always liked the double socks but as an alternative logo. The B on the cap is traditional.

And the road unis with the blue lettering reminds me too much of the Yankees’ road unis, with the gray background and blue letters. There’s barely any red on it!

I don’t like the two-sock logo as a team cap. And that red beanie dot on top annoys me.

The new road uni’s don’t look too bad. A sublte shoulder patch would be fine, but not some big monstrosity of a thing.

Tally my vote for the return of short pants and stirrup socks. Enough with the pajama bottoms already.

All the better to knock out the visitor’s bullpen while he’s out in RF.

And while I personally would worship the ground of the executives that put the Sox back in stirrups or high socks… I have it on good authority that is not part of the new uni package.

But what I really want to know is do the new unis adopt Tazawa’s awesome socks? Because those should be mandatory.

I like the two-sock logo, but I agree, it wouldn’t work as a cap. I do like the look of those away unis – very sharp.

Finally, what on earth is going on with that mockup’s hip area? Is JD Drew going to be playing carrying a pair of concealed nunchuks?

Wait – hold on a minute. JD Drew HAS an expression?!? Any kind of expression? Now I know you’re pulling my leg.

If Exhibit C are indeed the new road unis, those are sweet. I don’t care for exhibit A or B though.

Oh what I’d do to see navy away jerseys return.

I would like to point out that drew’s expression is only slightly harder to read this way as opposed to on field..

Also I totally want that hat for me …

The best rule of thumb is always: SIMPLER IS BETTER.

Oh my god, yes. That is absolute truth.

I’m not happy with any of these changes, if they are true.
