∙ 13y agoDirectly after the Red Sox's 1907 season, their owner John I. Taylor nicknamed his ballclub the "Red Sox" after the red socks (also known as stockings) that they wore as a part of their uniform. "Sox" was chosen after a newspaper needed a friendly form of the word stockings that would fit on the page for a Chicago White Sox article. Before this, they were simply known as the "Boston Americans."
