Los Rojos

[westofyou]

The Reds are unveiling an alternate jersey starting in 2013. The Red jersey will have ‘Los Rojos’ emblazoned on the front, in white scripted letters. Los Rojos is Spanish for “Reds.”

I don't know Spanish, but would Rojos work?

1. The Hispanic population in Greater Cincinnati continues to grow at a steady rate.

2. The Reds are marketing to this demographic.

3. I solidly approve this.

Same here. I have absolutely no problem with this. Pretty cool, actually.

Rojo does mean Red in Spanish.

So yes it does work.

Randy, I'm curious why you consider it an "ugh" move. Clearly uniforms are a marketing tool, IMO, and looking for a wider spectrum of fans to draw in from not just Cincinnati , but the larger region, not to mention throughout the country and beyond. With both Johnny Cueto and Aroldis Chapman as premier pitchers for the club and other Latin players, not to mention a plethora of up and coming prospects from throughout Latin America, I think it makes smart business sense. I say this as an Anglo too. I've loved the Hispanic Heritage day the club has had the last couple of seasons too.

Geez. This is an English speaking country.

Please learn to read and speak the native language. This isn't Mexico.

I mean, does the "Los" need to be on there, as I think english jersey's say "Reds" not "The Reds". I was wondering if just "Rojos" would read properly.

Barry Larkin approves of this move, I'm sure.
