I just picked up this Joe Oliver signed Cincinnati Reds jersey, it came with an undershirt as well, which seemed odd as I have never seen the undershirts sold in stores or anywhere (name, number, logos are sewn on the undershirt, and I was just wondering if anybody can tell me if this jersey might be game-issued or even game used. The jersey does not show any obvious signs of use, but the undershirt does with a lot of wash wear and a rip in the right armpit area.

The size seems ok, as a 52 would be good for Oliver (he is 6'3" and 215 lbs.) I have no idea how the tags should look on a team issued jersey or undershirt. Anybody with opinions or info on this one? I appreciate it!:D

Dan, The Reds road jersey's from 1993-1998 have a Property of Cincinnati Reds year tag sewn under the Russell tagging. The 95-96 jersey's i have seen did not have a size tag in the collar, only on the outer tail. Also, 1994 jersey's had the MLB 125th Anniversary patch on the right sleeve. Hope this helps.

That is exactly what I was wanting to know!

Dan:

The presence of the collar tag and the sizing would lead me to believe that both the home and road jerseys are retail.

Gotcha, Dave, thanks! That is what I thought, but I wanted to make sure. I appreciate the input.

The red shirt is the undershirt that goes with that jersey, as shown here:
