have a look at the end of the lens. The filter size should be stamped around the outside of the lens. Your best bet is to go for either Vivitar or Hoya filters. A word of advice: the larger the filter, the more expensive.
I bought an 82mm Circular polarizing filter for my Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 that cost me £125. You might also try the Cokin series of filters that slide into a holder that screws into the filter thread and are less expensive than the glass ones. Always keep a glass filter attached to protect the front element of your lenses. Filters are cheap compared to the replacement cost of a lens.

I can't tell you about the 28-80 directly but I have a tamron 70-300 on a Nikon D50. Mine requires 62mm accessories. You can tell this by looking on the body of the lens, you will see a symbol like a circle with a line through it (Φ) followed by a 62 in my case, this is the diameter of any accessory. This is also repeated on the inside of the lens cap.
As for brand, any brand will work as long as the size is correct. The only importance with brand is quality. Quality is important because cheap ones will add distortions and unwanted light such as lens flare to your shots. HOYA is a well known brand with good quality. Basically you get what you pay for.

I somewhat have both easily a kind of lenses, both also by tamron, outfitted for my canon eos digital revolt xti. The lenses are large, good high quality. The 28-80 is a effective all round lens for taking pictures %. once you arent too some distance faraway from the focal aspect. The 70-three hundred is a telephoto/macro lens more effective for images at a distance. you'd be at liberty with both lenses. Tamron is an excellent variety of lens, a lot less intense priced than canon or nikon too.

The filter sizes should be listed where the two previous people have said, or if you look inside the lens cover that was supplied, it may be in there. My Promaster lenses are inside the cap and on the lens.
As far as the filters, definitely Hoya or Vivitar. To protect your lens, you may want to buy a clear filte to place on the lenses, so the lens won't get scratched if something pokes it. It is cheaper to buy a filter than a new lens.
