Ughh
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.

Rojo does mean Red in Spanish.
So yes it does work.

At the 2010 Census, there were 296,945 people residing in Cincinnati, a decrease of 10.4% since 2000. At the 2010 Census, 48.1% of the population was White, 44.6% African American, 0.2% Native American, 1.80% Asian, 0.01% Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, 0.2% from some other race, and 2.2% of two or more races. 2.08% of Cincinnati's population was Hispanic and Latino or any race.
sorry we're boring
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.

So who's getting me this jersey?
Good to see Manifest Destiny alive and well, now it is our turn
I still miss Javy.
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.Rojo does mean Red in Spanish.
So yes it does work.
Don't forget Felipe as well. He was an All StarI still miss Javy.
Barry Larkin approves of this move, I'm sure.
