Rangers Pull Cap Over Spanish Vulgarity Design Error

The Texas Rangers have pulled a cap from their online store due to a design mishap that inadvertently spelled out a vulgar Spanish word. Part of New Era's Overlap 5950 collection, the cap featured the Rangers' 'T' logo superimposed over the 'X' in 'Texas,' resulting in the unintended offensive term. This removal followed viral attention online after fans noticed the error. The Rangers, unaware of the design before its release, took swift action to remove the cap, and MLB officials have declined to comment on the situation. This incident marks the second consecutive year New Era has faced backlash over similar design oversights. Other team caps in the collection also featured questionable overlaps but did not face the same level of scrutiny.
