St Louis Cardinals Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Another reason to love the Brewers' current look. Seriously, though, they totally get it right.Wow, I wasn't aware that any major league team had Polish uniforms but I follow only the NBA (we've got no idea about baseball in Europe but we do love beer). Have there been other teams that had Polish uniforms?Nope, just the brewers. they worn a million foreign language jerseys #9 LSU vs. TCU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakfu Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Here's why I'm for translating the names:They keep English names because it's a foreign team...for their teams, they use the native language.So teams translating the names makes them feel authentically "their" team.What about the fact that it's not even remotely interesting if the names aren't translated.I doubt it has anything to do with grammatical rules of translation. It probably means the NBA is more interested in preserving the "intergrity" of their team name by leaving it in English and just adding "Los", even though it practically defeats the point of the promotion.

Not all, by most. So it's not necessarily lazy. And I would think most Hispanic fans would associate the teams with their English names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In contrast with what the Brewers do with their ethnic jerseys, or when the Giants break out the Gigantes jerseys- which just feel fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Maybe the Padres should do an "English" night and put either Saint Diego or Fathers on their jerseys.Do you realize how quickly the white people behind that idea would be called out for racism?Think of all the white protestants in San Diego who feel disconnected from the team since they aren't Catholic nor do they speak Spanish.

Back to the Suns. I think the schedules come out this week. I'm sure they're gonna want to market their jerseys during ticket sales, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suns1977 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Forgive me if this has already been posted. If so, sorry for the duplication.Saw these on NBA2K's site. I guess these are their 'concept-fictional' jerseys for the upcoming year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
