Tuesday, the San Antonio Missions announced they will play nine games of the 2018 season as the Flying Chanclas, beginning on May 5. The team will wear the special uniforms for Thursday home games after the debut on May 5.

The move is part of Minor League Baseball's "Copa de la Diversión," in which 33 teams will honor and embrace U.S. Hispanic and Latino culture in their communities. Sports Illustrated picked San Antonio's Flying Chanclas as the best team name in the celebration.

You can celebrate the "Flying Chanclas" nickname with hats and t-shirts from the Missions store online. Some shirts can be pre-ordered and will begin shipping by April 2.
