There are four (4) tags on the interior center back of the cap. At the far left is a tag with the Major League Baseball logo and the text "GENUINE / MERCHANDISE".

Below the center brand tag is an additional tag with fiber content, care, and manufacturer information. There are two (2) holographic stickers on the brim of the cap. On the top side is a gold and black sticker reading "NEW ERA / 59FIFTY / 7 1/2". On the bottom side is a silver sticker with red marks made to look like a baseball and text reading "OFFICIAL / MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL / LR358006037".
