The original Red Sox home uniform featured a silhouette of a red sock with the name "BOSTON" in blocky white letters being placed in the middle of the jersey. It was only used for the 1908 season. The next one consisted of the words "BOSTON" and "RED SOX" in blocky red letters and was used from 1909 to 1935.
The red stocking on the shirt front was a one-year innovation before returning to the plain "BOSTON". The familiar "RED SOX" first appeared in 1912, coincident with the opening of Fenway Park. Through the years, the Red Sox have continued to wear red somewhere in their uniforms. By the 1930s, the color blue was re-added to the mix. (Okkonen)

The Red Sox' one-time cross-town rivals, the Boston Braves, used Fenway Park for the 1914 World Series and the 1915 season until Braves Field was completed; ironically, the Red Sox would then use Braves Field – which had a much higher seating capacity – for their own World Series games in 1915 and 1916.
