If they can't use the actual Spanish translations, then they shouldn't do this. Los Suns or Los Bulls is borderline insulting. At least the Padres, Brewers and the Giants in baseball do it right.

well, from what i've read, team names are considered proper nouns so spanish speaking people actually do say los bulls

It's weird seeing "Los Bulls" taking on "Los Angeles." If I didn't know better I'd think the Bulls were facing the Angels.

They should do some Germany Heritage Night:

The Pacers - Die Schreitenden

The Grizzlies - Die Graubären

The Heat - Die Hitze

and the best one:

The Mavericks - Die mutterlosen Kälber

^^

I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010.

Drop the sleeves and the "the" from last year's set, and I think they're on the right track. There's no need to translate it because proper nouns remain the same. I'm positive the Spanish broadcast of Miami games refers to the team as "Heat," not "Calor."

Don't know why there isn't consistency, though. The Warriors and Rockets translated it for Chinese New Year (maybe they don't actually say "Warriors" in China, I don't know).

Because they don't use Latin characters in China. The jerseys use the Chinese characters for "Warriors" and "Rockets".

Wheb Clippers drop the sleeves these would be top5 uniform easily.

My Bulls has lost almost every game in a specialty uniform this year. New sleeved alternate vs Heat? LOST! New black alternate sans sleeves but white trim vs. CAVS? LOST! Mix max new black alternate shorts with new black alt top vs Suns?? LOST! Christmas uni vs Lakers?? Surprise Win! Smh

Or Polish Heritage Night

Knicks - Krótkospodenkowcy

Lakers - Jeziorowcy

Clippers - Żaglowce

Cavaliers - Kawalerzyści

76ers - Siedemdziesiątki szóstki

Blazers - Przecieracze śladów (imagine this name on a jersey)

and special bonus:

SuperSonics - Ponaddźwiękowcy

I know maybe they don't sound normal but I wanna hear how Americans broke their tongues to say some of this names :)

Those soccer style jerseys do not work with basketball shorts.

Surprised the NBA is still using baggy shorts, as the whole baggy clothes trend went out of style like 5 years ago.

What else would they wear? I don't think anybody wants to see an NBA player play in short-shorts or pants.

How nice of the Thunder to provide fans with undershirts emblazoned with the team's logo.

I love the #brand-speak about how this alternate tells the story of the city, the team, and the fanbase. Well, I stopped caring and nearly fell asleep almost immediately upon sight of it, so I'd say it conveys the story very effectively.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.
