:Is the team ever simply called "los Rojos"? The most literal word-for-word translation of the name is "Reds of the Eagle of Veracruz", which could also be interpreted as "Veracruz Reds of the Eagle" or "Reds of the Veracruz Eagle", etc. I'm not sure which of the latter two is the meaning the team intends, since Spanish is ambiguous with this kind of grammar. I also know nothing about the topic; I just a strong interest in the Spanish language. [[User:Wolfdog|Wolfdog]] ([[User talk:Wolfdog|talk]]) 23:26, 13 July 2017 (UTC) |

Team name
Because this page often gets edits from non-native speakers, it is reasonable to assume the team’s name is correctly rendered Red Eagles. However, this is not the case: the club’s name in Spanish isn’t Águilas Rojas but Rojos del Águila.[Team name 1][Team name 2] (You will occasionally hear the team referred to as “El Águila” but never “los Águilas.”) The Águila part comes from the fact that this was originally a company team of the Eagle Petroleum Company. —Wiki Wikardo 21:12, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- Is the team ever simply called "los Rojos"? The most literal word-for-word translation of the name is "Reds of the Eagle of Veracruz", which could also be interpreted as "Veracruz Reds of the Eagle" or "Reds of the Veracruz Eagle", etc. I'm not sure which of the latter two is the meaning the team intends, since Spanish is ambiguous with this kind of grammar. I also know nothing about the topic; I just a strong interest in the Spanish language. Wolfdog (talk) 23:26, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
