White Sox to release special Barack Obama-themed hat

http://blogs.suntimes.com/sportsprose/white_sox_hat_obama.jpg

Riding the wave of friendly feeling for President Barack Obama, the Chicago White Sox have announced plans to release two new versions of their hat with some Obamanian features on the back and side.

Sports Business Journal reports, "The hats have been approved by MLB Properties, and the White Sox now are awaiting a formal blessing from the Obama administration before league licensee New Era goes into production. Both designs will be made if accepted by Obama."
Any proceeds from the sale of the special Obama hat would most likely be donated to a White Sox-related charity.

Sales of Sox merchandise has boosted 25 percent since Nov. 5 when Obama was elected president, and the team has launched a special section on its official site titled "Barack Obama First Fan."

In an effort perhaps to quell any possible public perception concerns with this and other future Obama/Sox collaborative marketing ventures, Brooks Boyer, the White Sox vice president and chief marketing officer told SBJ, "We don't want to be overly opportunistic and exploit this."

But the problem with that is that Obama likes baseball, not frat parties.

You had two phrases. "Survived" and "Stronger than ever".

I agreed that you have "survived". Bad teams, bad owners, bad GMs, Harry, bad stadium, decade after decade.

But you can't say you're "stronger than ever" because you fold like a house of cards with no success.

I can't say the Yankees are "stronger than ever" because of Underdog's exact post. The Sox have won 2 championships since the Yankees last one. So even though the Yankees reloaded, we can't say we are "stronger than ever".

And you don't have spats on your shoes? Savages. You probably wipe your mouth with cotton or even worse, paper instead of silk.

I think Mojo was referring to the fans rather than the team as being "stronger than ever".

No, but the Hillary Clinton Nationals cap magically morphs into whatever team's cap that plays closest to whichever city she's in. It's even changes to a soccer jersey when she's in other countries.

25 years? It's been one championship in 90 years. If you gonna bust balls, at least do a little research.

depends on what your counting

when you say chicago fans do you mean all sports or just cubbies ??

cause you got a bears and white sox championships, plus all those bulls champs
