The Chicago White Sox came first. (please read on)
The American League, (as an official part of Major League Baseball) was founded in 1901.
Two of the American League's original eight teams were The Chicago White Stockings and the Boston Americans.
The White Stockings won the very first A.L. pennant in 1901 and Chicago Tribune sports writers immediately shortened the name to 'White Sox' in the papers. The organization officially changed its name from White Stockings to White Sox for the 1904 season.
The Boston Americans didn't become The Red Sox until 1908. Therefore, the name White Sox came into existence at least four years BEFORE the name- Red Sox did.
