Texas Rangers Cap Pulled Over Unintended Vulgar Spanish Word
The MLB and New Era removed the hat from stores after fans pointed out the design accidentally spelled a Spanish slang term for breasts.
- The Texas Rangers' new Overlap 5950 cap design was pulled from online stores after fans noticed it unintentionally spelled 'Tetas,' a vulgar Spanish word for breasts.
- The cap featured the team's 'T' logo overlapping the 'X' in 'Texas,' creating the unintended word when viewed together.
- The design was part of New Era's Overlap 5950 collection, which included similar designs for other MLB teams, though none sparked comparable backlash.
- Rangers officials reportedly had no prior knowledge of the design issue before it went on sale, and MLB declined to comment publicly on the matter.
- This is not the first time a New Era hat design has caused controversy; a 2024 Oakland Athletics cap was also pulled for a similar oversight.
