phutmasterflex Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Does anyone have a better picture of the patch the warriors are wearing on their jersey this year?I don't have a photo, but I am watching an interview on TV and under the "50" it says "seasons" with the years underneath it.

Chicageaux Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It is correct. Since's it's the name of an organization, it doesn't change to El Caliente.Other teams have fully translated the text. Take the Brewers, for example.The Brewers might be the only example.That's simple, $$$$. Who in the world would buy a jersey that says "Los Brewers" when Los Cerveceros looks so much cooler. The reason why it's El Heat is because it's correct. It's a proper name, therefore it doesn't translate. Turn on telemundo and watch some commercials, companies like McDonalds, Nextel, or any other english company doesn't translate to spanish. They throw El/Los on there because they want to appeal to the Latin community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Posted at Lebron's facebook pageHeat's black on blackYup that is officially in the Miami Heat uniform set for this season, as well as a usual Latin Nights uniform and a 6th (yes a SIXTH) uniform. Way too many uniforms.I wonder why the Heat didn't wear these last year. They wore them in promotional shots.Guess I might as well give in and show you...It looks like it's back to the satin fabric on those all black unis, unlike the other jerseys that had the breathable airholes Go A's!

Kevin W. Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 But in a market like Miami, translating it to "El Calor" covers all of your bases. The English-speaking fans will still buy it because, hey, it's Heat merch and it's special, and that includes the bilingual fans as well. Meanwhile, the Spanish-speaking fans will appreciate it as well.I just don't understand why they wouldn't go for the full translation in one of the biggest Hispanic markets in the nation when teams with nowhere near the number of Spanish speakers (someone in Milwaukee who knows the demographic data can feel free to correct me) does more than that. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see El Heat, Los Bulls, Los Spurs, and you still know what the jersey is for, not to mention it's all trademarked and copyrighted, you can't trademark "Calor."IMO, they should just scrap the whole Latin Nights thing altogther or have it as one weeked instead of spread out throughout the season.Besides, in the spanish community, they don't call them El Calor, they call them El Heat because that's what it is. You don't change a proper noun. Is it really appealing when you change the name to El Calor when the community you're trying to appeal to calls them Heat in Spanish? Not at all, it's pandering.

phutmasterflex Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 If they do Latin Heritage, why not Chinese Heritage? I want a Chinese jersey Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Enough with the El/Los discussion. Let's not lose sight of what's important here: Floridians Throwback Night!(Even if the jersey does lose some points for tacking on "Miami" on the front.)If they do Latin Heritage, why not Chinese Heritage? I want a Chinese jerseyAw dammit, here come the spammers.

It's documented in legal proceedings, if you'd like verification.That's it. These one-off holiday uniforms have officially gone too far.

Discogod Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Damn it, it pisses me off when teams get the Hardwood Classics so wrong. Those Floridians unis NEVER had either the team or city name on the jerseys, and the NOB is way off. If they can't get it right, I'd rather they not bother at all.

I'm sure it's been discussed many times before, but the way the NBA teams handle their Spanish language jerseys is so lazy. For an organization that is always thinking globally, they've done this poorly. Much worse than MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 BTW, the Heat are going to look awesome no matter what this year. The Floridians uni is always timeless, and the Back in Black uni is absolutely badass, fitting with the villain persona that the Heat have taken on.

TFoA Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I heard that this will be the logo adorning the Heat's warmup shirts for the Back in Black games:But seriously, incorrect throwbacks do bother me. They'd be better off just declaring it another alternate than trying to pass that off as a throwback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
