'Crips' is the name of a US-based criminal gang, composed primarily of Black youth. According to Wikipedia, the original name of the gang was the Cribs (Sp. Cunas) because the members were all so young. They eventually took to carrying canes as a sign of their 'pimp' status. Locals responded and derisively began calling them "Crips," short for cripples (Sp. Cojos). The Crips gang color is blue (Sp. Azul -> Azules) As succinct a term as Crips is (one syllable), it is, at it's base, a foreshortened version of a larger word. The problem with translating it into Spanish is that Spanish usually ADDS more letters when it wants to diminish the "size' of the word, e.g. taco -> 'taquito.' Succinctness gets lost in the translation. Cunas -> Cunitas; Cojos -> Cojitos; Azules -> Azulitos. The best practice is to consider the word 'Crips' as a brand name. Then, regardless of the language in which they were discussed, they'd always be spoken of as 'Crips®.' Like Coca-Cola®, BMW®, or Sony®.
