Tampa Bay Rowdies Jerseys

Manufacturer:

Logo:  Sewn on

Name on Back:

Numbers: Sewn on

Other:  The Rowdies are very difficult to pin down.  They have the same basic color scheme and design for their entire history.  However they have a ton of minor variations.  Starting with 1975-76, my instinct is that there are multiple variations of each shirt I have listed here.  I think there are fabric changes as well as element changes.  Need a lot more research.

Other:  All the '76 Jerseys appear to have a v-neck.  The fabric on the '76 jersey is different from the '75.  The '75 is a mesh.  The '76 is an odd polyester type fabric.  

The Rowdies wore the Bicentennial patch on the upper right chest.

Numbers: Heat pressed.  The numbers are the difference in this variation.  Throughout their history, the Rowdies always had a fancy serif style font for their numbers.  There was a '75 version that didn't have the fancy numbers. 

In the '83 team picture look at #23 Jim Easton and #22 Peter Baralic seated together in the middle row.  The numbers are very different.  Barlic's jersey has a flat san serif style 2.   Easton's is the traditional serifed font.
