LOS LAKERS, LOS SPURS, LOS WTF

[jinxed]

But it doesn't make sense for the Spurs or Lakers to become the Los Spurs or Los Lakers. Instead their jerseys should just read San Antonio or Los Angeles. Nothing pushes back more against the reactionary elements by showing that two of America largest cities were founded by Latinos. After all Anglos wouldn't call Saint Anthony San Antonio or City of Angels Los Angeles.

The original people who settled in Los Angeles and built the town were


1 Peninsular (Spaniard born in Spain)
1 Criollo (Spaniard born in New Spain)
1 Mestizo (mixed Spanish and Indian)
2 Negros (blacks of full African ancestry)
8 Mulattos (mixed Spanish and black)
9 Indios (American Indians)

It makes sense for Los Heat, since half of Cuba's population lives there.

It makes sense for San Antonio, since Mexico is a bordering state.

It makes sense for the Lakers, since ____________

Got me.

This made me spit beer out of my mouth. It came out of my nose.

Thank you so much, I needed a good laugh.

Just wait until we have Chinese characters on Rockets jerseys and German ones on Mavs jerseys.

NBA loco y es stupido. Me gusta reggae me gusta punk rock...

Lol sublime

[Little Italia]

The Miami Heat new name should be Los Mierdas

[Celtics_35]

Loss Angelas is always good for a laugh after the Fakers lose

Nothing says celebrating hispancis more like using the Spainsh word for "the" in front of the team name.

I can't wait for German heritage month so we can have Der Heat. Or would it be Das Heat? Wait, I got it, Die Heat! So you can totally sell the jerseys to opposing fans too while celebrating the great German heritage by using their word for "the" on the jersey!

Los Herpes, thats what they get if they get too "Los Calientes"

[Gongxi]

Los Toros would still be comprehensible to the teenage kids (the jersey demographic) who don't speak Spanish, so that would make sense. Although jersey designs are still recognizable regardless of the words anyway. You could put Chinese characters on a Lakers, Celtics, Bulls,Spurs, Heat, Knicks, etc jersey and the average NBA fan would still recognize it anyway, so it's not a huge gamble.

[Kjeldar]

can the hispanic people even afford it? i am mexican and replica jerseys are expensive.

Seriously? Very classy, man.

[Boobs]

I think it's just to generate more revenue from the Hispanic community.


Also, In before El lock

Wait, either I am reading this wrong or you're saying Los Angeles was founded by Mexican Latinos...but wasn't it founded by Spaniards? You don't consider Pau Gasol a latino, right?

I'm obviously not an expert on the subject so please try not to take offense if I'm off base.
