If the reports currently circulating are true, Chris Sale might have issued the most emphatically negative review of a uniform that any athlete has ever issued.But its certainly not the first negative review.First, some quick background: The Chicago White Sox were slated to wear a throwback version of their infamous 1976 leisure suit uniform on Saturday night, complete with the untucked jerseys and the disco collars.But when the Sox took the field tonight against the Detroit Tigers, they werent wearing the 1970s throwbacks. Instead, they wore their 1980s beach blanket throwbacks, which they normally wear on Sundays. And instead of Sale, who had been scheduled to be on the mound, the starting pitcher was Matt Albers -- a relief pitcher.The Sox soon issued a statement indicating that Sale had been scratched due to a clubhouse incident.That prompted a flurry of reports from multiple sources indicating that Sale had been so upset about the prospect of wearing the throwback uniform that he cut his jersey to shreds, along with those of some of his teammates.The White Sox have declined to confirm or deny these reports, at least for now.It wouldnt be the first thumbs-down assessment this uniform has received. The leisure suit design, which was conceived of by White Sox then-owner Bill Veeck, was the object of constant ridicule when it was originally worn from 1976 through 1981. Forty years after its introduction, it remains the only uniform in MLB history to include a jersey that was designed to be worn untucked.But the Sox nonetheless stuck with the design for six seasons. And they revived it as a throwback last year, for an Aug. 27 game against the Seattle Mariners, without any player having a tantrum like the one Sale reportedly threw Saturday night.There is nothing in the historical record to compare with an athlete disliking a uniform so much that he went all Edward Scissorhands on it. But there is at least one other instance of a player essentially vetoing his teams scheduled uniform for a given game.That was in 1995, when Sam Wyche was set to coach his final game for the NFLs Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs were still wearing their original orange-based uniform set at the time, and the plan was for the team to wear solid-orange -- orange jerseys paired with orange pants, something that had never been worn before -- for Wyches finale.Longtime Bucs equipment manager Frank Pupello explained how that played out in an exclusive 2010 Uni Watch interview:The fans had voted on it. The team had a food drive -- you were supposed to bring in a canned food item, and they had two barrels set up to receive the food. Basketball Shoes China. One barrel had a picture of a uniform with an orange jersey and orange pants, and one had and orange jersey with white pants. So the fans voted by where they deposited the food. And the orange-on-orange won in a landslide. ... I had the orange pants all laid out in the lockers and everything. And some of the players were all excited about it. But [linebacker] Hardy Nickerson said, I aint gonna play this game if I gotta wear orange pants with my orange jersey. I dont like it. And Coach gave in. So one guy vetoed the whole thing.Nickerson disputes several of the details in Pupellos account, including the claim that the uniform choice was tied to a fan food drive.We were battling to try to go .500 that year, Nickerson told ESPN Bucs reporter Jenna Laine on Sunday. To have something like that going on in the locker room before [a game] ... somebody had to say, Lets go win this football game.?If I was upset, it was because we were in the locker room worried about uniforms and not trying to go .500 that year.Of course, there are lots of additional examples of players saying they dont care for a particular uniform (when the Red Sox introduced their bright-red alternate jerseys in 2003, one unnamed player reportedly quipped, Well be visible from space!), but they usually wear whatevers put in their lockers, whether they like it or not. In recent years, however, players have had more and more say regarding their uniforms. MLB starting pitchers often get to decide what the team will wear each day, NFL players routinely lobby for certain uniform combinations, and LeBron James personally decided that the Cleveland Cavaliers would wear their sleeved alternate jerseys in Games 5 and 7 of last months NBA Finals.If Sale really did take scissors to his teams uniforms on Saturday night, he may have set a new standard for uniform pushback, but hes just the latest in a long line of players to have strong feelings about what they wear.Paul Lukas writes about uniforms for ESPN.com.
