ABSTRACT:
A cap having a tactile and visual identifier of the source of the cap. The cap includes a crown portion and a brim. The brim has a topside and an underside. An emblem is placed on the underside of the brim. In one embodiment, the emblem is embroidered onto the brim to produce a design which is raised from the surface of the brim. When a wearer dons, removes or adjusts the cap, the wearer's thumb naturally comes into contact with the raised emblem. The tactile feel of the emblem serves to identify to the user the emblem on the cap. Further, the emblem provides a constant visual indication to the wearer of the emblem on the cap.
