The player’s name, “CASTILLO,” is elegantly displayed across the back in black on teal tackle twill on a white nameplate.

Adding to the historical significance, the back of the collar features the official post 9/11 “USA flag” patch sewn over the official “MLB” logo patch, a poignant reminder of the era in which Castillo played.
