Why is red sox spelled with an x?
Question:
Answers:
Any informationg will be greatly appreciated!?
I found a great article with a good idea on why it happened. It seems that Webster (dictionary guy) wanted to try and differentiate american english from british english by changing spellings to make for more simplified words and words that look how they sound. Around the early 1900's sox was the common spelling for socks, and it ended up sticking. (White Sox, Red Sox)Top 5 times with chance of winning the world series?
I think ''red sox'' sounds better than "red socks" they probably just wanted to be differentBaseball questions - How many runs score?
They followed the fashion of the times. Many early baseball teams were named after their uniform colors. In the 19th century, there were clubs called the Red Stockings, Brown Stockings, and Blue Stockings. Newspapers like the Chicago Tribune often shortened these nicknames to "Sox."How many people are looking forward to the day that Barry Bonds breaks the all time homerun record?
becuz redsox looks and spells better than red socks.and it is kinda of cool too.I agree with everyone else also if the red sox spelt it red socks it would kinda look silly and funny so they put and x in it and put red sox and it sounds and looks better when spelled *red Sox*

I remember hearing that the Boston Globe shortened it to Red Sox from Red Stockings so that the headline wouldn't be as long.Because 100 years ago putting an X instead of CKS saved money.
