I'm pretty sure that the one in the middle is from the late 1970s. I have seen Astros team pics from the late 1970s with the white version of that pennant in the background.

I'm not sure about the year of the VET pennant, but I'd say late 70s early 80s. I still think it is interesting that most (if not all for some teams) pennants with these designs have the VET stamp. Did you pick up your Astros version long ago at a Phillies game (when you or your dad picked up the Rangers and Padres that you showed earlier) or more recently?
I think I got the blue one at a flea market many years ago. The three pennants I have pictured are all VET pennants, actually purchased at Veterans Stadium. Also I have a pic of my other Astros pennants (no VETs)
