Last night the Brewers showed off their Cerveceros Jerseys.
For the Brewers this has been a tradition going on for its sixth season, and it is a pretty nice one. Back when it started, the uniforms looked like this and last night for 2011 they looked like this.
Overall, it comes off a lot better than the “Los Mets” nights because it is easier and more appealing to take an English word and translate it into Spanish, rather than throwing the word “Los” in front to show Hispanic Heritage (because if don't write “The Mets” on jerseys, why should we write, “Los Mets”).
I have always been a fan of heritage days and nights, and when I see things like what the Brewers did last night, I begin to miss the Mets of the early and mid 2000's where they would have a heritage week and it wasn't just about what they morph the uniform into but a celebration of different cultures at Shea Stadium.
Oh and the icing on the cake? The Brewers will be doing the same thing for their German heritage night when the Brewers will become the Bierbrauers. Pictures to come once it happens.
