Texas Rangers Hat Pulled Over Design Flaw Becomes Hot Collector’s Item

A New Era baseball cap unintentionally spelling a vulgar Spanish term is now selling for up to $1,000 on eBay.

  • New Era's Texas Rangers 'Overlap' cap was removed from stores after its design unintentionally spelled 'Tetas,' a Spanish slang word for breasts.
  • The cap's design combined the Rangers' 'T' logo with the word 'Texas,' creating the unintended vulgarity, which quickly went viral online.
  • Other caps in the 'Overlap' collection, including designs for the Houston Astros ('Ashos') and Los Angeles Angels ('Anaels'), were also pulled due to similar issues.
  • Despite being pulled from official sales channels, the hats have become sought-after collectibles, with some reselling for as much as $1,000 on eBay.
  • The design mishap follows a similar incident last year involving an Oakland Athletics cap that inadvertently spelled out a crude term.
