White Sox to release special Barack Obama-themed hat

The Chicago White Sox are aiming to release a President Barack Obama-themed version of their cap in time for the start of spring training.

The club has developed two prototype designs of its club hat with Obama marks on the side and back. 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.

Retail distribution would likely be tied, at least at the outset, to official league and club channels, such as the team’s stadium store and MLB.com’s online shop, but a wider release could occur should demand warrant it.

“We know exactly what we want to do with this [hat]. It’s just a matter now of getting sign-off from Obama’s camp, going through the proper channels and moving forward,” said Brooks Boyer, White Sox vice president and chief marketing officer.

“We’re very excited. This is somebody who’s obviously a White Sox fan, but more importantly, really embraces and embodies the attributes of our brand: the notions of pride, passion and tradition we rally around. He’s made it hip to be a White Sox fan,” Boyer said.

I heard last week, I believe, the White Sox were releasing an Obama jersey (number 44).

I hope they go 0-162.  george bush is a former owner of the texas rangers, and both the state of texas and the rangers ballclub manage to avoid having a huge obamagasm over the whole thing.

he was elected president.  I get that.  but honestly, there are groups of people (sects?) in this country that need to just put it back in the pants, and get on with life.

Truly stupid, isn't it? But, then, it's the Chicago White Sox.

I know you're being sarcastic, but be careful what you say even in agita or jest. And you know that somewhere, someone, Obama or others are already thinking of what you've said.

this country couldn't possibly be more removed from their senses right now.

Wanna bet? Hey, Obama's not even been in office two full weeks. Things can and will get a lot more crazy and bizarre.

you're right.  someone beat me to this one.   I was being sarcastic, so at least I have an excuse.

as opposed to the white sex?  er, white sockses.  um, no, I mean the  . . . never mind.

the white sox are an afterthought.  they are the other team in chicago that isn't the cubs, and the other team that has sox in their name, that isn't boston.  they may as well rename themselves to the chicago asterisks.

You should just be thanking God that Obama's not a Dodgers fan.

"Dear Diary,
Today I made WE speechless, at least for a second.
Love, Miss Mia"


And a letter I must send out

"Dear President Obama,
I am a huge Dodgers fan, and would be very happy if you wore this Dodgers cap.
Sincerely, Miss Mia"
