The latest collection of MLB hats by New Era has caused quite a buzz online. The Texas Rangers were quick to remove their cap from the online team store, and other teams have followed suit.
New Era unveiled their “Overlap” series on Monday, featuring MLB team names behind the primary logo. While this design created awkward aesthetics for most teams, the Rangers faced a more significant issue.
The primary “T” logo was positioned directly over the “X” in “Texas,” inadvertently spelling out a vulgar term for breasts in Spanish rather than representing the team.
Following the spelling mishap, The Dallas Morning News reported that the Rangers have pulled the hat from their team store. This has led to a surge in demand for the hats that were sold before the error was caught.
Since the hats were removed from the official store on Tuesday, six hats have been sold on eBay for prices ranging from $200 to $1,000, as reported by the Athletic. Other teams like the Houston Astros and the Los Angeles Angels have also taken down their hats from online stores. Currently, the hats of the remaining 27 teams are still available for sale, but the situation could change at any moment.
This is not the first time MLB has faced hat design issues. In 2024, the A’s introduced an “ASS” hat. Fans can only wonder what headwear hijinks the league may bring in 2026.
