In this story:

The Chicago White Sox have unveiled their new city connect uniforms and they pay homage to another sports franchise in their city: the Chicago Bulls.

The new unis are below.

It's a pretty sweet color scheme, and it's cool that they're honoring another of Chicago's sports institutions. That said, it's a big self-serving, since White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf also owns the Bulls. It feels like a bit of double-dealing.

I also find it a bit funny that both the White Sox and Bulls are both working on two-decade championship droughts and are teaming up for this collaboration.

The Bulls finished 10th in the Eastern Conference this season and lost their play-in game against the Miami Heat. They haven't made it past the first round of the NBA playoffs since 2015. Maybe that's not the kind of track record the White Sox should be honoring.

For their part, the White Sox haven't made the postseason since losing 3–1 to the Houston Astros in the 2021 ALDS. In 2024, they produced one of the worst seasons in MLB history, finishing with a pathetic record of 41–121. They've looked no better to begin this season.

The city connect reveal is really just a distraction from how bad the White Sox truly are.
