Beautiful pennant Marc! It got me thinking ... I have some old football pennants but not many. I have seen only a couple football scroll pennants in my years collecting. I think they were both AAFC pennants, Browns and Bills. Anyone know or have any others?

There are very few true “scroll” football pennants except for the ones you mentioned until you get to the late 70-80’s. There are a couple with names on them, but for the most part football pennants are very bla. Honestly I can only think of those ones you mentioned that are scroll style.

My only football scroll pennant is college, not NFL. I know that Fballguy has the 1950 Kentucky Orange Bowl scroll pennant that goes along with this one.

As I sit bored out of my mind endlessly watching re runs of World Series and other notable games from all sports, I was watching Ken Burns Baseball on MLB. They were and are focusing on Jackie Robinson and they showed a young fan holding this Dodgers pennant. I always like when I see vintage pennants in photos or film coverage. Can’t help with the Dodgers, as I am strictly a Yankee collector when it comes to pennants so I have the matching version. I’d be interested in seeing other photos or film stills that show vintage pennants that others have.

I forgot about college. Now that you mention it, there are a number of Bowl games that I can remember. Nice pennant.

Hey Marc,

I have the sister pennant to the your 1950 Orange Bowl (featuring Babe Parilli). A good looking pair, if you ask me.

Great pics, Bob! That first picture appears to have been taken in 1958'ish outside Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles. Those trumpets you see the participants playing were a foot long and made of brass. Each sold for $1.00. Capable of playing six notes, they came with instructions for playing, "CHARGE!"

They were an instant hit with fans. Unfortunately, they also shattered on impact; and they sounded less like a bugle, and more like a kazoo. So they had to stop selling them.

What did you expect for a dollar?

Now those Trench pennants the vendor's also offering--can't go wrong there.

I don't have many photos, but here are a few.

I'd love to see what baseball Rob has for the Giants

Here are a few I've found...
