I've had this idea for about 5 years now. I wish I had the time and money to do something about it. I think it would be a good money maker to set up a booth at Oktoberfest. If people will spend money on chicken hats, I'm sure Reds fans would shell out the bucks for this. The other idea is to take it to the Reds and see if you can get a corporate sponsor for a hat giveaway at a home game. Beer companies like Sam Adams and Leinenkugel's give out free hats with their logo at various Oktoberfests every year, so I'm sure a version could be made at reasonable cost.

Bumping this up - got a reply last week...

I would assume that an major jersey order has already gone out and nothing will change - but maybe in the future just have "Rojos", and I'll buy one for sure!

Thanks!

Great. Maybe a few more of us who prefer "Rojos" can follow up with the same suggestion also.

Re: Los Rojos
Mascot Coordinator?
I'd have thought Mr. Red would have ascended to that position, what with his seniority.

Well he was retired for a while, so he has to work his way back up the ladder.

Actually I believe they hired him back as an independent contractor so that he could double dip on his pension and salary.

Re: Los Rojos
I suspect the "alien eyes" period didn't work in his favor. He was clearly going through something.

Even the mascots were low rent back then, ugh.

I sent a note to the Reds imploring them to lose the Los and retain the Rojos.
