NFL Vertical pennant/burgee series
 

Thank you Marc for making this beauty available to me:)

Always loved the look of these vertical pennant/burgees by Trench, ca. 1967. Such an interesting look. I only wish they made them in a full size--this one's not even a foot long!

Sounds like a good pennant factory project. What would a full size look like?

ASCO vertical pennant/burgees
 

Challenge accepted. I've actually been wanting to make a similar looking design, based not on this Trench/NFL series; but, upon a series of vertical pennant/burgees manufactured by ASCO during the mid-1960s.

Unlike the Trench ones, ASCO's were full-size. They also featured individual portraits of select players--all of whom were Minnesota Twins. See below.

I was thinking maybe a '65 Sandy Koufax CY Young Winner version might look pretty sweet?

What do you think Rick?

I'm not sure I've ever seen the ASCO full size. I do like those better, especially with the fish tail cut.

If you make Koufax for the Cy Young, you also need to make Mays for the MVP.

Good point, bocca! And, I’m OK with Koufax but no current d**gers!

Two thumbs up from me Kyle. Please make an extra, I'm already creating a spot for it:D

Thought I’d bump this. I can’t help (although the design is obviously familiar) but know some of you guys can.

Recent sales at Clean Sweep range from $400-$800. The problem with these negro league pennants for me is the prevalence of pretty decent reproductions which sell in the $20-$30 range. I'm sure plenty of people have bought a repro thinking they're legit. The one in question is obviously legit.

Just picked this one up. Not that old but my quick search didn't turn up another one. Likely dates to 1977 as it came with this membership card.

Picked this up for a whooping $27. I didn't even know they made this style in full size. Bocca surmises these were a later issue, maybe for the 1951 or '54 NL pennants? Anyway, the color is great. For whatever reason, my cameras don't like to photograph orange.
