In 1975 the Sox use both New Era and KM Pro, now with green underbrims (confirmed by pictures). This is exactly how American Needle embroiders throwbacks today, probably they did the embroidering and/or made this cap for Wilson. The 1974 Wilson White Sox cap is unique in that: letters are thinner, "S" interlocks with "o", and "o" overlies "x". This cap could have been made by New Era but it was finished off by someone else. In 1974 New Era stopped private label capmaking for Wilson. It's clearly a New Era-made cap under private label. Here's a rare Pro McAuliffe, made for McAuliffe Uniform, owned by Stall & Dean's Richard Stall. The Sox start using grey underbrims around 1972. Caps are navy and the white logo has gaps between letters rather than overlap. New road cap has no red trim around the logo. Some players still use McAuliffe and even older Spalding caps, but maybe only in spring training. The logo is different again, it's wider with thinner red trim and O overlaps X. Later in 1957 the McAuliffe logo returns to the same exact design as 1953-55. Spalding caps are also used in 1957, could be caps from 1956. SpaldingĪ new McAuliffe logo, with thin rounded letters, the gap between the base of the S and the top of the X is larger and unlike all other logo variations, the red trim does not cross any letters. McAuliffe caps are also worn, might be from 1955. The logo is wider, red outline trim is wider, there is no space where the S and O interlock, X overlies O. The logo interlocks the same as the 1951 cap, however, letters are not as wide as the 1951 logo, and the red outline trim is thinner. In 1953 the Sox return to McAuliffe caps. With a switch to Wilson caps, the logo is squished and S is larger than the O and X. In the 1951, S and O interlock, O overlies X, and one cross in the X overlies the other. I believe I have all the variations correct. Watch how the logo changes continually over the years.
