‘Straight Outta Compton’ has major sports-related blooper in opening scene 

The props department of this weekend's No. 1 movie "Straight Outta Compton" isn't getting any props from White Sox fans after a big sports blooper made it look more like "Back To The Future."

While the N.W.A. biopic raked in over $60 million, some Sox fans might have been perplexed by a wardrobe malfunction in the opening scene, according to the Chicago Sun Times blog.

In that first scene, Eazy-E (played by Jason Mitchell) is shown wearing his familiar White Sox hat with the "Sox" written in old English lettering across the front.


The only problem is that that logo hadn't even been designed for almost five years yet.

The scene is set in 1986, according to the report and the White Sox didn't go to that hat — and their current-day black and white uniforms — until 1991.

Since the White Sox logo has changed so much over the years, most film goers didn't even notice the blunder. But here's the one  they should have used:


Not as gangsta-erish maybe, but at least it's real. Yo, yo, yo.

Ice Cube gives Oakland Raiders sneak preview of 'Straight Outta Compton'

It's been a while since the Raiders have been relevant in the NFL, but thanks to Thursday's release of the N.W.A. biopic, Straight Outta Compton, the team will once again be in the headlines.

Or at least on people's heads.


According to tweets from a number of players, rapper and Raiders fan Ice Cube sent the team a videotaped message and an advance copy of the new movie, which they watched Wednesday night in lieu of meetings.
While they changed pop culture in the 1980's, Cube and the rest of the members of N.W.A. wore Raiders gear throughout their rise to prominence, associating the team in those days with the mean streets of L.A.


And, from the players reviews, it sounds like the film lives up to the pre-release hype.
Should we expect Kings hats to make a national comeback too?
