The front left tail of the jersey proudly displays the RUSSELL ATHLETIC manufacturer label, complete with wash instructions and an attached flag tag indicating “52 100% POLYESTER.” Adjacent to this is a year tag denoting the year 2004, a pivotal season in Ortiz’s career.

The jersey features the team name “RED SOX” emblazoned across the front and Ortiz’s iconic player number “34” on the back, both crafted in navy on white tackle twill.
