An embarrassing oversight seemingly forced New Era to pull the Texas Rangers’ new cap design for their Overlap 5950 collection after it inadvertently featured Spanish slang for a woman’s breasts.
The recently released collection was for all 30 MLB teams, and the club’s logo was superimposed over the writing that appears on the front of the ballclub’s jerseys.
When it came to the Rangers cap, the “T” logo was placed over the word “TEXAS” right over the “X” spelling out the vulgar word in Spanish by accident.
No one appeared to catch the issue, and after all the caps were released online for sale over the weekend, eagle-eyed Rangers fans quickly realized what the word on the hat meant.
As of Monday night, the hat was pulled from the collection and the link for the hat now takes visitors to the Rangers online shop homepage.
Rangers officials had not been made aware of the design before its release, the Dallas Morning News reported.
Other designs in the collection had the potential to create some headaches, including the Angels design that covered the “G” in the team’s name on the cap and Houston’s cap had the logo with the star and an “H” covering the T and R in Astros — seemingly spelling out “ASHOS.”
Aside from the Ranger design, the rest of the collection remained available.
It was not the first time a vulgarity slipped by those at New Era.
Just this past September, an Athletics hat that was part of the 9FIFTY Snapback collection was pulled after it was quickly realized that the writing on the front of the hat read “A’SS.”
While that hat was pulled from sale, it wasn’t before some fans were able to purchase it.
MLB officials declined to comment to the Dallas Morning News about the Rangers cap.
