ClutchIsEverything Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Cool idea, I like both of them. I remember the LA Avengers used to sell shirts with Avengers in Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY Jay Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Both of them look pretty sweet. The seond one reminds me of the hispanic jersey the Giants sometimes wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I guess the idea is okay but would you ever see Latin American teams or Japanese teams wear uniforms in English for a day? No. I honestly believe that not in our lifetime, but in the future, Spanish will be the primary language in the United States. You'd think if any team had Spanish uniforms it'd be the Marlins.

Nilbog57 Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 The Gigantes jerseys were a nice touch in SF.That means the Brewers will wear six different uni's this year: home, road, alternate, Sundays, negro league, and hispanic celebration.

You're right, you'd never see Japanese teams wear uniforms in English for a day... because they do all the time! As far as Spanish being the primary language in the United States... ya ever hear of a language called English? It's being used world-wide. Try it. *LOL* That's why the three languages you hear during the Olympics is the native language, French (the Olympic language), and ENGLISH!!!*LOL* I'm having fun with you, so don't take it personal. I just don't see Spanish as becoming a primary language ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajunaggie08 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 OK ive never been to milwaukee ever or anywhere near the state of wisconsin, but is there a large enough spanish population up there to have a reason for having a hispanic heritage day?

Yes, Milwaukee has a sizable Hispanic population, mostly on the south side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitaminD Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I guess the idea is okay but would you ever see Latin American teams or Japanese teams wear uniforms in English for a day? No. Yes.Japanese teams' uniforms have English characters on them. If it isn't all the teams, it's the vast majority of them. And it's their regular uniforms in their homeland, no special anglophone celebration day. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronChefShark Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Looks like the Giants started a trend That Cerveceros jersey looks great, almost as good as the Gigantes jerseys.and in regards to spanish being the primary language in the US? Probably not. However, since sizeable states such as California, Texas, and Florida are allready essentially billingual states, the US should in the near future be considered a billingual nation.

therebelas Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 OK ive never been to milwaukee ever or anywhere near the state of wisconsin, but is there a large enough spanish population up there to have a reason for having a hispanic heritage day? I was wondering the same thing...Races in Milwaukee: * White Non-Hispanic (45.4%) * Black (37.3%) * Hispanic (12.0%) * Other race (6.1%) * Two or more races (2.7%) * Other Asian (1.9%) * American Indian (1.5%)(Total can be greater than 100% because Hispanics could be counted in other races) 12% is more than I thought (never been there, though).

LetsGoAdmirals Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I'm in the Milwaukee area and my Brother-in-law is Hispanic. I can tell you there is a very large portion of the city that is Hispanic. Also, the Brewers have a lot of Sunday afternoon games on the local Telemundo station so this isn't entirely out of the blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Maybe next year the Cardinals should have a day where they wear a jersey with "El Birdos" replacing Cardinals in a 40th anniversay tribute to the 1967 World Series Championship team.
