<p>For the past ten years, the White Sox have marked Pride Month with Pride Night, offering specialty items like hats, T-Shirts and flags for LGBTQ+ fans and their allies excited to celebrate at Rate Field.</p><p>This year, the team turned to NAACP award-winning comedian and Chicago native Tee Sanders to design the "Freedom Day Hat" for fans turning out for Wednesday's match against the Atlanta Braves.</p><p>A self-identified Black lesbian woman, she said the hat represents her two identities.</p><p>“I always wanted the hat to represent me,” Sanders said.</p><p>The crossed bats behind the Sox logo represent resilience and the refusal to back down, which is rooted in that same South Side fighting spirit the White Sox are known for, according to a release. The Chicago skyline appears under the brim, painted in the Pride flag's colors. There is an “I’m from Da Crib” patch along the side with a Black power fist.
