^^^ I’d love to see you group those in a Google album because I sometimes don’t know what the hell you guys are talking about! :p
Edit: and once I knew what you were talking about, I might be able to add some. Others might help, as well. |

I agree that some type of webpage or Google photos album would be cool, if you had time to make it. I'm sure that it would be a lot of work.
Not distract from the series discussion... but what in the heck is going on with this pennant? I know we have some Dodgers collectors on here. We have a combo of Dodgers and Chinatown and Yankee Stadium? A bit of fall harvest? It looks half accident and half purposeful. |
Those wacky D**gers! :mad:

But also, it doesn't help that they pasted the team photo over much of the artwork instead of inserting it in a cut-out window like most other photo pennants. The photo is simply too large for the cut-out. There is an outline for a photo insert on the pennant, but they never cut it out. Here's a better picture of the "artwork". Attachment 433223 |
C'mon Marc, what fan doesn't want to take home a Los Angeles Dodgers/Chinatown/Olvera Street/Grauman's Theater/assorted citrus souvenir pennant to remember their trip to New York's Yankee Stadium??
It looks to me like the maker (probably Trench) tried to cut corners in their haste to make this pennant in time for sale at that year's world series. Here, they saved time by re-purposing some "scenes of Los Angeles" artwork previously used on Los Angeles travel pennants for use on this baseball pennant. I wonder why they didn't make a "Dodger Stadium" version with a Yankee team photo beside a Statue of Liberty on it?? |
I swear I've seen a similar Dodgers pennant with the LaBrea Tar Pits on it. Olvera Street and Graumann's Chinese were also depicted on that one. Been a long time, but I know I've seen it.
I remember thinking, "How could the La Brea Tar Pits even make the cut for a pennant like that?" |
These days, when they are in LA, every TV show and televised sporting event shows the Santa Monica Pier with its ferris wheel. But in 1963, if you put that on a pennant, everyone would have thought "Hey, Coney Island".
How do you depict a "tar pit"? That can't be easy, unless you have the pennant release an odiferous smell. |
