The El Paso Locomotive rolled out an alternate jersey, the Hueco Tanks Kit that celebrates the natural wonder 40 miles east of El Paso.
“The Hueco Tanks Kit is an ode to the oasis 30 minutes east of downtown El Paso, famous for its natural water-logged rock basins, ancient photographs and distinct geology. Over 10,000 years of human history have been tracked back to this area with strong Native American roots and heritage,” a Locomotive’s news release states.

The El Paso Locomotive’s Hueco Tanks Kit is modeled by, from left, Eric Calvillo, Sebastian Mora-Mora and Rubio RubÃn.
And this: “Unique features of this kit include the navy-clad collar, a first for a Locomotive jersey. The cream-colored base is covered with a light blue design that mimics the carvings and drawings found at the State Park today. The coloring of the design also represents water, perhaps the area’s most vital resource that drew people in and served as a source of living for nearly 10 millennia.”
Hueco Tanks is also famous as one of the top bouldering spots in the country.
The jersey is available for purchase online and at the team store.
