Edit: Upon closer review...I guess not. No stadium reference and only three on defense. Tassels spine aren't right either. I saw the St. Louis font and thought it was a match.
I saw this .... it looks odd to me, like a knock off from the 70s. The tassels and pennant itself look stiff and creased, and the design is sloppy. BUT ... it could be a copy of an existing, older pennant so maybe such a Cardinals pennant from the sane era does exist!

*the Browns “infield” pennant does not reference stadium, but Tigers does.

Nice, Rob! I see lots of cool stuff in there. For example, I've never seen this Oakland pennant before (I watch Oakland stuff, but don't buy very often). I'm curious to hear from you and others about how rare it is. I also really like this NY Giants pennant. I'm sure that there are gems from other teams as well.
Here’s that somewhat similar A’s pennant

Is that the 1969 cloth version for the A's?

This is felt, but I’m assuming it matches the cloth version which I “need”. The spine is cloth which is interesting. Whether they made these at the same time as cloth or shortly after, I don’t know. I have never seen the Pilots from this series in felt (but I have seen a cloth Brewers, Indians, Angels with a 1970 trademark).

My personal favorites of yours:

1. The 1960 ASG pennant
2. 1940 Tigers (stunning!)
3. 1945 Athletics, never saw it in gold
4. Colt 45s (it’s the only pennant from Ad Flag that I like, possibly the only Colts pennant with Colts ‘C’ in gun smoke.)
5. 1959 White Sox with roster in sock

I also like the Colts pennant and have attached a pic of Fballguy's example. I passed on one from a zero feedback buyer a few years and have regretted it ever since.

Also, what's the story behind this unusual White Sox pennant?

Thanks everyone...The 1940 Tigers is the gem of the collection. Amazing condition for 80 years old. It's probably my favorite.

The black Expos pennant is my most curious as it's in a style that I always assumed pre-dates the existence of the Expos.

First, I do hang the pennant (spine-side up) so the bleach runs down away from the spine. I tape the spine with multiple layers of painters tape so nothing accidentally soaks through. I also extend the tape about 1/2 inch lower than the spine to be safe. I also try and make sure the tassels are taped.

I have two spray bottles. One straight water and the other 100% bleach. I first spray the pennant with water to get it wet. Second, I spray the pennant with 100% bleach directly on the front of the pennant. I spray the whole pennant directly. I’ve never sprayed the back of the pennant which is interesting. I let the bleach stay on the pennant for a few minutes. Lastly, I spray with water continuously until the bleach is gone.

I sometimes repeat a time or two. I’m always worried about letting the bleach sit too long as I’ve had a few pennants run or the white turn almost a yellowish color. So, I was curious if this is how others completed the process.
Very similar to my process Erik. Main difference is I typically start bleaching from the back. The strength of my mixture depends on how dirty the pennant is.

Although I search daily It's been 2 years since a picked up a different version of the Pirates 1971 World Champions pennant . This is the eighth variation of that theme I have found. It is so pedestrian I was certain I already had it. I suppose that was because it draws on so many elements common to the other seven versions.

Also here is a fun fan photo featuring the 1971 White World Series Champion scroll pennant.
