Below is an authentic Bebe Sport Clothing Label:

A): Image (A) above is a good example of an authentic Bebe Sport jacket tag. All Bebe tags should be centered within the jacket back, as well as being symmetric with respect to the lower manufacturing square tag that is fastened to the horizontal larger tag, (as indicated in image (A) with the yellow lines). Beware of any Bebe tag where the lower manufacturing square piece is not centered within the larger horizontal tag. *Due to the angle of the image and the label curve, the lines may not appear perfectly centered.
B): Image (B) displays the back of the tag. If you grab hold of the lower square tag that says "Made in U.S.A." and lift it up, you should see something similar to what is in image (B). Here we can clearly see that the far left of the tag has a alpha-numeric sequence running south → north (when flipped up in this manner). This sequence should start with a BSL. Beware of any bebe label, that when flipped up, does not display this sequence.

BEBE SPORT label points:

1): Logo is capital letters: BEBE SPORT [different from "bebe"]
2): [Square tag] Top line- MADE IN, Middle line- U.S.A., Bottom line- S (size)
Note: Beware of Bebe pant sizes that go beyond [L]. Sizes like XL, XXL etc are generally not sizes bebe has manufactured. This may be subject to change, but it is worth noting. Also note the USA has "." after each of the letters.
3): The label should flip up, and the backside should have an alpha-numeric sequence on the far left beginning with at least a B.
4): Note the texture of the label. On the backside (image B) the quality stitch lines and stitch pattern is very visible. Be cautious if the backside of the label does not display this quality stitching pattern.
*More logo points below

BEBE SPORT logo square tag backside:

C1): Image (C) point 1 concerns the far left character sequence on the label. What we wanted to illustrate in this point is that the label flaps back (indicated by the yellow arrows under C). The alpha-numeric sequence is stitched on the folded over (or "flap") area. It is important to remember that the sequence is stitched on a folded over area of the label, and not simply the backside.
C2): Image (C) point 2 is just to reference that we are looking at the backside of the same label from the images (A+B) in the section above.
C3): Image (C) point 3 is displaying the backside of the lower square flap from image (B) in the section above. Notice that there is a second flap underneath this flap. *More on this below (C4).
C4): Image (C) point 4 is of the second flap that resides under the original square flap from image (B) in the section above. This shows that the square label itself has another back flap underneath it. And this second flap should always display an alpha-numeric sequence starting with BB.
D1): Image (D) point D1 illustrates the edges of the square flap. This is an important detail concerning the BEBE SPORT label. Note the tiny white areas at the very edge of the label. This is not colored stitching, these dots are reflections of light. The property of the thread has a reflective quality, that when you angle it in the direct light, the tips of the fabric will shimmer. [This is an important tell, similar to the property found on ed hardy handbag labels.] Always check for the reflective label property by angling the label edges in the direct light.
*More reflective label properties below

BEBE SPORT seam label:

E): Image (E) is a label that you should find within the seam of an authentic Bebe sport clothing piece or jacket. Image (E) is displaying the side of the label that says SPORT. However, the backside of this thin seam label should also say BEBE. And because this is the SPORT line, BEBE should be in capital letters.
F): Image (F) is displaying the reflect property of the seam label (as seen on the label in image [D] above). This is important because it details the consistency of the Bebe label. These reflective quality points should be visible on all the designer label areas on every piece of authentic BEBE SPORT clothing.

BEBE SPORT care instruction clothing label:

authentic BEBE SPORT material care label

G): Image (G) is displaying the material/care label that should be found inside a BEBE SPORT jacket, shirt etc. This label should, (at close inspection), have a visible texture, as well as tiny points along the edges. These points are like little shark teeth and are very hard to see.
Note: At the very bottom of the tag the color should be listed. For this jacket, "black/watermelon".
H): Image (H) is showing the backside of the label in image (G). On this side the care instructions will be written: Hand wash cold, flat dry. Do not bleach, iron on reverse cold only if needed".
*Naturally, these instructions should vary depending on the type of garment, material etc.
