Overview

• The Texas Rangers' cap from the Overlap 59FIFTY collection was pulled after its design unintentionally spelled a Spanish slang word for breasts.
• Other designs, including hats for the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Angels, also faced criticism for awkward or suggestive text combinations.
• The Overlap collection featured team logos superimposed over team names, creating confusing or inappropriate results for several franchises.
• New Era and MLB have not commented publicly on the design oversight, but the hats have been removed from official online stores.
• This is not the first design misstep for New Era, as a similar incident involving the Oakland Athletics occurred in 2024.
