There is a 1980 Pirates jersey yellow on Ebay now, #28, but no maker tag. Chain Stitched year and number.

This jersey is OK...it's just one of the minor league recycled gamers mentioned in earlier posts. Jersey was made by Wilson, and Wilson tag was in the collar on this style.

I've seen a few 1977 yellow Pirates gamers, and all had flag tags.

I don't think it is a Garner? - Looking at the Getty images, the number 3 is not in the same position as what Garner has on his yellow, and the back number is smaller then what they wore in the late Seventies. Al,so, this is an early eighties picture of Ray, you can see the 3 is also not lined up the same as that jersey.

Since it is tagged by Rawlings, perhaps it is actually a 1977 Phil Garner jersey (only year that they tagged the yellows)? I have not seen any yellow exemplars from that year, so don't know whether the tagging format is correct.

No other Ray has played for the Pirates. How about a possible minor league jersey of Johnny?

Re: Should Pirates early 80's jersey... Possibly Older?

Could the Ray jersey that recently sold on Ebay be from the late 1970's, different player? The font looks correct from period jerseys.

On top of that, Ray didn't join the Bucs until 1981.

Re: Should Pirates early 80's jersey...

Just a general comment, it's not unusual to see Pirates jerseys from that era with no NOB since they typically were recycled through the minors. However, I saw the Ray jersey to which you were referring and the tagging is incorrect. The yellow jerseys were made by Wilson that year and the tag should be in the collar. Furthermore, there should be a swatch on the lower right front tail which reads "3 80"

Thanks brother. There's a Johnny Ray 1980 jersey on the Bay and it has no name on the back.

No problem. Glad I could help.

Re: Should Pirates early 80's jersey...

Getty has Willie Stargell photos from 1980 and 1982 with NOB.

Hope this helps.

Re: Should Pirates early 80's jersey...

From what I can tell just by a quick Google image search, yes.

Have names of the back of them?
