In 1981 the numbers were moved back to the front of the jersey. The uniform stayed consistent through 1984, with one exception. In 1982, former Cardinals player and manager Ken Boyer died on September 7th. The team wore a black band on their left sleeve starting on September 7th and throughout the ’82 World Series.
In April, 2024, we received some photos and did some new research on a slight STL cap variation for the 1983 and 1984 seasons. We only know this slightly alternate STL existed, we don’t know if it was an alternate, or a complete replacement for the ’83 and ’84 seasons.
