Would you believe a simple baseball cap could ignite a social media frenzy and become a collector's item overnight? The Texas Rangers' new MLB hat, part of New Era's "overlap" collection, did exactly that, proving that even design mishaps can have their moment in the spotlight.

The now-infamous Texas Rangers hat blended the team's Texas jersey wordmark with their signature block "T" logo. The design placed the block "T" directly over the "X" in "TEXAS." What seemed like a clever merging of branding elements quickly took a turn when fans realized that the superimposition created something unexpected and potentially offensive in Spanish. The resulting word, "tetas," a vulgar term for breasts, set off a chain reaction that reverberated across the internet.
