Net54baseball.com Forums - Hey, pennant guys

The Steelers and Packers all have the same variation to this style of pennant. Those two along with the Giants seem to be the most common teams in this style. They're the only teams I can think of with multiple versions of this pennant. Others...Cowboys, Cardinals, Vikings have just one. At least that I've seen. There are quite a few teams I've never seen in this style. Bears, Lions, Rams, Redskins, Colts, 49ers, etc.

Are you saying the Steelers and Packers have the same ‘4th player number variation’ as the Giants pennants I posted? Thanks, Rob!

^^^^ I have no theories on the makers :( but I notice #12’s uniform wrinkles are also slightly different.

Yes, and regarding that NY Giants pennant, there's a white shoes vs. black shoes issue as well. So many subtle variations on these vintage beauties!

Domer was right about this being a premium pennant. I count no less than 8 colors in the graphic image (most I've ever seen)…

Green
White
Tan
Burgundy
Blue
Grey
Brown
Brick Red

Must've been a very intricate and ambitious screening process back in the day. A beautiful and high quality pennant!

I think that's probably why, on your NY Giants pennants, the shoes differ. Clearly the black paint either ran out on the applicator; or else they opted to skip this color in the interest of time, money, etc. I've definitely caught similar variations in other Trench pennants over the years that left me scratching my head.

Erik was referencing the other (player’s left) shoe. :cool:

Well I’m color blind so all this color talk of shoes and color schemes is boring...[emoji12]

But I do appreciate everybody’s thoughts and responses. And I hadn’t thought about the lack of consistency that surly existed when these pennants were produced. How cool would it have been to be at one of those manufactures during their heyday!?

I have seen Norsid labels before; but, never once on a Dodgers pennant. I mostly recall seeing their label on collegiate pennants from the 1940s, 50s and 60s.

Anyone else seen this label on MLB pennants before? I feel like I've seen that artwork before, too....

I have not, but there are many more seasoned eyes here than me.

Decorating tips

Found this rare example of the original, unopened packaging for a National League set of mini-pennants by Trench. These were issued in the 1970s.

On the reverse-side of the packaging, note the handy decorating tips Trench offers you the consumer.... :D

Gotta love the pipe-smoking husband admiring his pennant wheel. I'm sure his wife is proud.

That’s a great find! So I assume these were sold in dime stores or such?

A somewhat recent pickup showing how nice the sky and trees look in California (and maybe the 49ers team as well).
