No. I have seen one in my collecting career and I have buyers who ask me yearly. In fact, if anyone has one or knows of one, I am your buyer. I have been looking for my personal collection for a long long time.

Currently available in the Hake's Auction being promoted here now. Bid up to $181 so far.

Would look great in any Nazi themed man cave. :eek:

No, no idea who made this....

Or, who would want it.

Two of my more recent pickups. Always looking for Buffalo sports pennants. If anyone has anything they’re looking to sell or trade, message me.


Those are both great! What era(s) are they?

The Bisons football is from 1946. They were an AAFC team that became the first version of the Buffalo Bills. No relation to the current version.

Thanks, Rob. With all our new knowledge, can we guess the maker? :p

I love how the hockey Bisons ripped off the Pepsi logo!

The team's unusual logo stems from the Bisons being purchased in 1956 by the owner of the local franchise of Pepsi-Cola, Ruby Pastor, who changed the team's colors and logo to reflect the soft drink company. Use one business to promote the other.
My understanding is the Bisons pennant was only sold at Hershey Arena in the 60s, and came in a few different colors (I’ve seen orange, green, and blue). They did different designs for each AHL team at the time, but certainly Hershey Bears pennants in this style are most common.

Here’s a few other examples:

For some reason, the Bisons hockey reminds me of this one. Probably because of the skater/batter and net/fielder.

Great stuff everyone...

The bleaching of the Reds Pennant was a mild success, I suppose. I could've done better with a bit more patience, I think. To Rob's point, the pennant continued to whiten after I was done bleaching... so I probably went a little too heavy, too soon.

The red graphics began to run, and then it was a quick rush to rinse it clean. If I went slower, the red might not have run at all. But the colored stains were still quite visible, so I kept at it. Had I stopped earlier, it may have whitened enough on its own (without bleeding).

But overall it looks significantly better. Here's the "before" (which looked far worse in person than on eBay....)

And the "after"...

I’d say “significantly better” is an understatement. Welcome to the Bleach Club!
