80's Reds Jersey, help needed

[EricDavis44fan]

I have the chance to purchase an 80's home white Reds jersey from a local dealer. Can anyone provide any tagging info for the Reds home jersey's from 1984-1986? Also does anyone know who the manufacturer
was during this same time period? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

1984-86 reds home jerseys were manufactured by rawlings. here is a primer on rawlings tagging:

i may be wrong but i believe the tagging was simply the standard rawlings mfr tag with standard year/set flag tag. no unique team tagging.

Thanks for responding Rudy. The reason I'm asking is, I've found a Davis Jersey, and the manufacturer tagging is Goodman & Sons, there is no set/year tagging. I had once seen an '87 Davis jersey and it was Rawlings. While researching Reds jersey's online today, I found a home Pete Rose from 85-86, with the exact tagging as the Davis I am thinking about buying. Here is a picture of the Rose jersey that I found on Robert Edwards site:

dave,

as you know, the '84 home shirts are a different style than the 85-87 shirts.

here is a 1986 perez home jersey. goodman & sons:

another 1985 rose home jersey. goodman & sons:

let me give this another shot:

84 home jerseys - rawlings
85 home jerseys - goodman
86 home jerseys - goodman
87 home jerseys - rawlings

my apologies for my earlier post. admittedly i had just woken up and apparently was still a little sleepy when i posted.

Cincinnati Reds Uniforms from the 1980s

December 11 2007 at 2:37 PM Dave Grob

In response to an e-mail question about Cincinnati Reds uniforms from the 1980s, I offered this response.

"The Reds continued wearing Wilson road uniforms, something that began in 1968, throughout the decade of the 1980s. The only exception to this are the road uniforms worn in 1978 during the Tour of Japan. These were made by Rawlings as Rawlings was a sponsor of the tour. These road Tour of Japan uniforms feature a “R” on the exterior of the pants as well.

The home uniforms during the 1980s were manufactured by Rawlings, with the exception of 1985 and 1986. The 1985 and 1986 home uniforms were supplied by Goodman and Sons, and unlike their Wilson and Rawlings counterparts, are without any year or set identification. The Reds began wearing Rawlings uniforms in 1968, switching away from long time supplier MacGregor."
