Here, as in most of Latin America, the people wear t-shirts, blouses and caps with words in English even though they don’t speak English. It’s just the fashion here to wear something that says “Miami” or “New York” or “California” or “Vegas” like we might wear something that says “Paris” even though we’ve never been there.

We had an teenage exchange student from COlombia. The shirt she was wearing on her flight here read "Brookline, New York". I figured those were exported because of the typo. Have you ever witnessed the wrong outcome Super Bowl shirts that used to shipped overseas before they started being resold as novelties on ebay?

I do recall seeing a man wearing a “Tampa Bay Rays, 2008 World Champions” cap. I had to look at it twice to make sure I wasn’t misreading it. The Phillies won the World Series over Tampa that year.
