Those pants are white. It's just some shadowing you're seeing.
Traditionally, home teams had either their logo or team name on their uniforms, while road teams had the city (i.e. 'Pittsburgh') from whence they came emblazoned on theirs. I'm pretty certain if someone sought out contemporary pictures from Forbes Field, you'd see the Pirates wearing that selfsame uniform. (I always wanted to use 'selfsame' in a sentence!)
