What Do You Guys Think About The 1981 Clete Boyer Oakland A's Coching Game Used Jersey On Ebay Right Now?friend Of Mine Thinks The Year Doesn't Match The 1981 Style Tags And He's Good.input Anyone?

The NOB is an odd-looking weight. The #s might be replacements as well, but that might be due to the angle at which the jersey is depicted.

The A's DID wear "OAKLAND" on their gold jerseys in '81, if that's the question.

Oh, right:

The set tag reads 1981
The Rawlings label is from 1985(according to Kingjammy24)


Below is what an 1981 label should look like

as per swoboda's post, i don't much like the tagging.

it shows a tag that first came out around 1985 with a 1981 flag tag. (oakland wore this particular style from 1981-86). i can't tell if the tag has been cut and resewn but the sides of the tag look a little thin to me.

here are some jerseys:

how is it that 2 1983 oakland gamers show older tags than this 1981 "gamer"?

the nob font on the back strikes me as a little compressed, especially for such a short name. perhaps mark weimerskirch can comment more on that though.

come to think of it, i've never quite seen a rawlings tag like that. all of the '85-87 tags i've seen were 4 lines but "layout" of the washing instructions is completely different. the 4th line of the '85-87 tags i've seen reaches to the middle of the other 3 lines. on this tag, all 4 lines end at the same point. does anyone have any photos of the same style tag as is seen on the ebay jersey?

Thanks For The Info Kingjammy.it Was Ver Helpful.

[kingjammy24]

the always helpful lon lewis emailed me regarding this strange rawlings tag. according to lon "..the Rawlings tag in question dates from the 87-88 seasons."

here are a couple of images of the tag from a 1987 giants jersey and a 1988 giants jersey:



truly an oddity how such a tag ended up on a 1981 jersey.

Gentlemen,

I am admittedly a football jersey collector and only collect baseball jerseys of a few favorite players, but I thought that the drastically redesigned white "R" Rawlings tag was seen as early as 1996. Below is an example from a well-worn St. Louis Cardinals jersey with the white Rawlings "R" logo tagging.

Any comments or other examples of 1996 Rawlings baseball jerseys sporting the white Rawlings "R" tagging would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
