1930's Red Sox Uniforms

murphman61 says: 1925. A Red Sox player slides into third vs the Yankees' Joe Dugan. A nice look at the uniform similar to the one they tried to "Throw Back" to in 2011.

murphman61 says: 1931. Pinstripes (including the cap). Double socks logo on the sleeve. Little red sock on the caps. The first time that "Red Sox" appears on the Home uniforms for an entire season. It also appeared in 1912, according to "Dressed to the Nines", but not the whole year. It's been on there ever since. Why are there so many Sox near the bag??? If it was a rundown, the play was much too close.

murphman61 says: 1932. L-R: Ed "Bull" Durham, Wilcy Moore, Bob Kline and Paul "Ivy" Andrews. No Pinstripes. No mark on the white caps with red brims. The second season of the double-sox logo (like the one they use now) on the sleeve that would disappear the next season. Plain red socks that go almost to the stirrup.

murphman61 says: 1932. Earl Webb. He hit 67 Doubles in 1931. Still a Major League record. Another look at the '32 set.

murphman61 says: 1933. Rick Ferrell with Merv Shea. Tom Yawkey owns the team now. Blue caps for the first time and with a 'B'! Blue trimmed lettering (old font). All red socks again but with a good sized white lower section.

murphman61 says: 1933. Curtis Fullerton and Mel Almada. Another good look at the '33 set and the socks.

murphman61 says: 1934. Bucky Harris with Walter Johnson Our first look at the striped socks. Still with the simpler, rounded, serifed font. I don't think those socks have any blue in them as the later versions would have.

murphman61 says: 1934. Carl Reynolds. A good view of the simple 'B' on the early blue caps. Is there any chance that these caps are red? Maybe not, but I thought I'd ask.

murphman61 says: 1934. Opening Day vs. Washington. The Red Sox appear in a regular block number font. They would soon change to the more familiar numerals, a sample of which can be seen on the Senators player at far left (compare the '7's). Okay...are these hats red or not??? They look a little pale here, especially when compared with the Nats caps.

murphman61 says: 1934. Lefty Grove seated with teammates. Away Uniforms. Looking at the socks here, I'm not sure if there is any blue in them at all. They certainly are white, or gray, all the way to the top unlike later versions that alternate (from bottom to top) red-white stripe-blue stripe-white stripe-blue.

murphman61 says: 1934. Lefty Grove (center) with (L-R) unknown Brave, Rube Walberg, Max Bishop, and Dick Barrett. . Another look at those interesting Away uniforms from 1934. Those socks, of which I am now convinced are all red (meaning "no blue"), seem to include gray as opposed to the white on the home versions to match the uniforms.

murphman61 says: 1935. Cronin and Melillo. They've gone back to the simple red lettering and plain red stirrups (red all the way to the stirrups too) but kept the blue caps.

murphman61 says: 1935. With Babe Ruth and former Yankees teammates Dusty Cooke, Doc Farrell, and Gordon Rhodes, Hank Johnson, George Pipgras, and Bill Werber. Away Uniforms. They've gone to a familiar block 'Boston' with the plain red socks. "Dressed to the Nines" says the lettering is red.

murphman61 says: 1936. Coach Al Schacht with an unidentified teammate. Now, basically, the look they have today. Well, 'cept for the socks which have gone back to the all red look of the early part of the last century. Schacht, on the left, is wearing the new cap with the rounder/pointier 'B' while the gentleman on the right has the older cap from 1935 with the squarer 'B'. Probably good evidence that the darker caps were always blue.

murphman61 says: 1936 or 1937 Away uniforms. Jimmie Foxx with a Bee's player. "Dressed to the Nines" shows this as having blue lettering. This looks like it might be red. Probably 1936 as it appears the the 'B' contains a hole near the front (a bit like the Brooklyn Dodgers).

murphman61 says: 1937. Away uniforms. Joe Cronin with Holy Cross Mgr. and ex-Red Sox infielder Jack Barry. The "Boston" sure looks like it might be red here.
