English term or phrase: browns
ATLANTA, July XX, 2019 – xxxx “Browns,” one of the world’s most iconic and recognizable corporate uniforms, are getting a makeover.

It’s the first major redesign since the early 1920’s, and the most significant change since the company’s drivers began wearing shorts in the early 1990’s. The uniform is currently worn by about 125,000 drivers around the globe.

Muchas gracias.

Explanation:
Tal vez, como dicen las proZ.comlegas "browns" se deja sin traducir, pero yo añadiría, por lo menos la primera vez que aparezca, una traducción parentética, para beneficio del lector hispano.

Saludos cordiales.

agree  Natalia Pérez: Coincido, John, añadiría al menos una aclaración al principio que incluya la palabra "uniforme", pese a que en la web de UPS solo dice "marrones" (puesto que esa palabra tiene la connotación de "problema" o situación desagradable en España). ¡Saludos!

  -> Muchas gracias, Natalia. :-) Sí, es verdad, lo de "comerse un marrón" en España tiene esa connotación, ¡por no hablar de otros matices escatológicos! :-) (Otra cosa sería hablar de los "maderos"... ;-) ¡Saludos cordiales!
