Show your Collegiate of Ames
 

I have grown a recent interest in pennants and have found collegiate of ames to be my favorite of the companies.

I am wondering if anyone would be inclined to share some?

There's a great link in the "Hey, pennant guys" thread to an article about the creator of those pennants.

^^^^^ those are awesome! I went to Ohio U. What era would that pennant be from?

50-60's. Let me know if you want to see any specific school. Got a few of these stashed away!

I like these pennants a lot too. Is Collegiate of Ames related to the "Chicago Pennant Co."? Chicago made a pennant similar to the Princeton one you have, as well as these examples...

Thats AWESOME! Would i be able to see a closeup of the Ohio Bobcats 1. I almost went there.

If you have a University of Denver one I would love to see that (Im a sophomore here currently)

Not related but they did used the same graphics on a few pennants. Chicago pennant stuff is a little rarer.


Here is a Denver one

I want that but worth point isn't letting me see the price :(

Thanks so much

you've got an outstanding collection btw

They were 2 different competing companies I believe. They both produced some real quality stuff though. Not like the made in china junk you see today.

Link?

I was remembering the first article, but the last link is an amazing look into the past. Thanks!!!'

Thrilled to have added these from collegiate of ames

The Rutgers is in rough shape and I would be willing to sell... they should go back to being the Chanticleers

Recently I have seen the market for Collegiate of ames pennants and squares dry up a bit... is there any place other than ebay to find these pennants? Also here is the 1950 cotton bowl pennant up for bid now on ebay. Has anyone seen any others like this possibly from different bowl games?

Those are some gorgeous pennants. Did the company produce any MLB pennants? I'd be curious to see what a Yankee one would look like.

OK Matt, I'll put you to the test...

Two of my favorites that I don't see pictured above are the U of Miami Ibis Bird (looking a little angry and beat up) and the Maryland Terrapin (looking not too bright). Can you post images of either of those? Much appreciated, if so!

I'm also loving that Ohio Bobcat Mascot as well as the friendly looking Florida Gator. Great stuff :)

Here you go...

Carlton,

It is one of the top threads in the memorabilia forum. It is currently two threads below this one as I look now.

Love it! Thanks for posting.

Mike

I found the Miami and Maryland Mascots. 2 of my favorites...

Anyone have the Army (West Point) one? Been looking for one for awhile.

Happen to have an image of the other MLB 3D pennants? I believe there were only 4. Yankees, Red Sox, Giants, Dodgers

Here's the Giants...

Hey, those are my pennants! :) ... like, seriously! That’s my basement floor. Since then (about 10-12 years ago) I sold the Yankees but picked up another one. Still have the Giants.

I meant to tell you about sneaking into your house....
























actually, just a picture I saved from somewhere else.

You should sell the Giants and then go pick up another one! :D

Does anyone have a site that shows all of the college offerings by Ames?

vintagecollegebanners.weebly.com shows a lot of the banners

vintagecollegepatches.weebly.com shows a lot of the graphics as patches and not on pennants.

Were you looking for something in particular? There is a lot of stuff they made that, to my knowledge, is not compiled anywhere

Thanks Phil- I just enjoy seeing the college editions of these pennants, I am a huge college football fan.
