The Oakland Athletics and Arizona Diamondbacks will celebrate Mexican Independence Day by donning Spanish-language uniforms for their respective games this afternoon.
Oakland will be wearing “Atléticos” jerseys, which they had done in the past, wearing them at least during the 2010 season. The jerseys are white with “Atléticos” across the front of the uniform in the same style as the regular home uniform.
Arizona’s uniforms will be black with “Los Dbacks” across the front.
If you’re interested in purchasing the Atleticos jersey, it is currently available for sale on MLB.com.

Monday, September 17, 2012 at 13:08I'm surprised the Athleticos spanish uniforms weren't gold and Los D-Backs weren't sedona red. That'd be cool. I'm also surprised the Dodgers and Padres didn't do the same thing this weekend considering both San Diego and Los Angeles have huge spanish populations.

Tuesday, September 18, 2012 at 20:40Good point. I'm referring more to when teams add Los to their uniforms like Los Suns, Los Marlins, Los Lakers, etc. I don't know what those words are in Spanish.

Tuesday, September 18, 2012 at 21:44This is a perfect example of one good Spanish jersey and one bad "Spanish" jersey. The Atléticos jersey is great because it's actually in Spanish. The Los D-Backs jersey is really stupid because adding "Los" to it does NOT make it Spanish. It should be "Cascabeles".

Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 09:48The design of both jersey's are so much attractive.The choice of color is very important matter for making jersey. My favorite color is black.So i like much the jersey of Los. But supporters of a team always like their team jersey ,it not depends on color.Supporters of a team are always with their team it is not a matter of jersey color.
