Game worn 1984 Dodgers F. VALENZUELA road jersey

Re: Game worn 1984 Dodgers F. VALENZUELA road jersey

In thinking that the home jersey with the logo variation was indicative of home jerseys, I just dug up a photo of a Dodgers road jersey of that era (like the Valenzuela in question) and found that the logos match up better. Notice the O in both the Valenzuela and in the Lasorda. Oddly, the "D" looks different now. Perhaps we need another example -- this time, another 1984 road jersey? Maybe the script on the jersey just was not consistent from year to year?

I think the angle in the Fernando photo is hiding the end loop in the "s".

I found another photo of Orel wearing a 1984 road (see same patch as the Fernando).

That scripted "o" going accross toward the "d" looks different to me. The original looks straight accross and the one in the auction is dropping from right to left. I am no pro but I have seen experts on Dodgers look closely at the logo.

Charles,

Side by side, if you compare the two logos, the "s" is more different between the two jerseys than the "o"

This could mean anything... you could be comparing apples & oranges. They could be from different years... the logo may have changed slightly in the 2 years... it is also possible that the jerseys in the photos were manufactured by 2 different companies.

Any Dodgers experts available to explain the logo discrepancies?

Thanks Dave
I agree all the Fernando jerseys I have seen area size 44.
But I guess anything is possible.

I'm no expert, but the "o" in Dodgers in the auction jersey does not look right to me.

Goodman did sell pro-quality jerseys to certain "connected" parties, but the year to be wary about on Fernando is 1981, when Fernandomania was extant. The jersey looks good, as far as what can be seen in the photos, for the most part. I've never seen a size 43 Valenzuela jersey, but have seen plenty of 44s, so this is within the realm of possibility, as Goodman did issue odd sizes to players on occasion. No year/set tagging is used by the Dodgers in that year.

What you may or may not see up-close in terms of use/wear will be important, and can't be addressed from the photos.
