Or at least they plan on looking like they are.

For years the San Diego Padres have been honoring the armed forces by occasionally wearing camouflage uniforms, and now it appears that the White Sox have decided to do the same thing. At last weekend's SoxFest Mark Buehrle answered fan's questions while wearing a camouflage White Sox jersey, and it looks like the team is going to wear them on Independence Day this season.

From Home Run Derby:

...on July 4, 2008, the White Sox will take the field against the Oakland A's wearing camouflage jerseys.

The rumor around last weekend's SoxFest was that the camouflage uniforms were Buehrle's idea and that he "requested" the Sox wear them as part of his contract negotiations last season. Buehrle had been pitching the idea to the White Sox' marketing department about the idea for a few years.

Knowing Mark Buehrle, he only did this so he'd have something new to wear when he goes hunting back home in Missouri. This isn't the first time the White Sox will wear specially designed uniforms, as they've been wearing green jerseys to celebrate "Halfway to St. Patrick's Day" for years now.

Hey, why not? It's hard to tell in the picture, but they don't look all that bad. I've always been a fan of the more colorful, unique MLB jersies.

I am a fan of the different jerseys as well. This looks OK, but I love the throwback jerseys the best

Naw, don't like it...give me throw back flannel and do whatever you need to to honor the Arm Forces including tours of Iraq by stars...but don't mix it into the jersey...unless you are gonna go play in regulation boots out there...
