Two Phanatic headbands, two fit systems
The Phillie Phanatic Tie Back Headband and the New Era Navy Tie Dye Phillie Phanatic Headband both put the mascot on your game-day look, but they stay on your head in different ways. The tie-back style is designed for a secure and adjustable fit, while the New Era headband is a one-size-fits-most nylon band. That difference should drive how you put each one on and which one you reach for.
Below, you’ll find what the catalog confirms about each headband and a practical wearing routine for each style. The records don’t include care instructions, so this guide sticks to what is actually supplied.

How to wear the Phillie Phanatic Tie Back Headband
The tie-back design is the more adjustable of the two. Use this sequence to get a secure fit without over-tightening.
- Place the band: Set the Phanatic design where you want it on your head, with the ties hanging at the back.
- Tie once: Bring the ties together at the back and make a simple knot. The catalog describes a tie-back style for a secure and adjustable fit, so start loose.
- Adjust the tension: Tighten or loosen the knot until the band feels secure but not pressing. Because the fit is adjustable, you can fine-tune it rather than accepting a single size.
- Secure the ends: Tuck the loose ends under the band or let them hang, depending on your look. The catalog does not specify a required knot type, so use a knot you can easily undo.
How to wear the New Era Navy Tie Dye Headband
The New Era headband is a one-size-fits-most nylon band. There is no tie to adjust, so the fit depends on placing the band correctly.
- Position the band: Slide the headband onto your head so the tie-dye Phanatic design faces forward. The nylon band should sit comfortably without needing to be tied.
- Check the fit: Because the catalog lists one size fits most, the band may feel snug or relaxed depending on your head size. Adjust the position slightly forward or back to find the most comfortable spot.
- Pair with game-day gear: The navy tie-dye look works as a Phillies headband for game day. Wear it with your usual fan gear; the catalog does not list specific compatibility limits.

What the records don’t confirm
The supplied records do not include care instructions, fabric details beyond nylon for the New Era headband, or specific sizing measurements. They also don’t list operating steps such as washing or storing. If you need those details, check the product packaging or contact the store; don’t assume a cleaning method based on this guide.
For the tie-back headband, the catalog does not specify a tie length or knot style, so the steps above are general guidance for using the adjustable closure. For the New Era headband, one size fits most is the only fit information provided, so individual fit will vary.
