What a cool Oilers pennant. Only AFL-trademarked stadium pennant?

I have one of those with some damage. I thought about going all in for the ebay one, but didn't like the spine for an expensive upgrade. But I thought seriously about it.

The closest I've seen is the Dallas Texans Cotton Bowl pennant, but no AFL logo on that one. And the New York Jets Shea Stadium which was just post merger and has the NFL logo on it.

Exciting stuff is becoming fewer and farther between and as a result I've developed an appreciation for extremely rare modern stuff (80's-90's). Believe it or not, there is some cool stuff out there. Very under appreciated in my opinion. Don't know if it will ever take off from a value perspective, but does keep me interested when the vintage well runs dry.

This pretty much represents the best of my 2021 vintage efforts...The Eagles is particularly intriguing to me as it's black and includes tassels. I've never seen that pennant in any other color and it's always tassel-less.

Greg that Cardinal's pennant is great.

I had a few pennant arrive yesterday including this 1969 Pirates Team Pennant. (It's my first pennant from eBay.) t was described as being in "rough shape" so that price was great.

I hoped it could be cleaned up without too much hassle. So far so good.
  • The first photo is from the ebay listing
  • The 2nd photo is how it looked when I removed the photo to prepare it for cleaning
  • Photo 3 is after I gave it a gentle soak with Oxiclean (or at least it's UK equivalent).

I just need to re-affix the photo. I'm pretty pleased with the results.

I experimented with cleaning another "beater" of a pennant too. The results weren't as good. I'll post photos to share what not to do later.

Whoa! Some amazing stuff here!

I’ve never seen the Giants ACFL pennant! And the 58 Giants and Super Bowl pennants are phenomenal!

Top notch [emoji91]

Chiefs v. Vikings super bowl pennant is my favorite. I like the unique graphics/image. Why soooooo rare?

I've put the photo back in the Pirates Pennant and this is what it looks like after a clean. I'm pretty pleased.

I also picked up a Phillies "Atomic Cap" pennant in a misc lot. It was pretty badly discolored and it cost me next to nothing. So I decided to experiment with different approaches.

First I soaked it in Oxiclean for a couple of hours. That made it better but not much. So I soaked it in Oxiclean again and left it overnight. That was my mistake. The red dye in the graphics started to disolve because I left it soaking too long. After all of that, discolored white areas still weren't great.

At this point, the graphics were damaged so I decided to try bleach to see what it would do. That worked great on the white body of the pennant. I suspect if I started with bleach, it would have ended up perfect.

My lessons:
  • Oxiclean works well but only use if for short amounts of time (e.g. an hour or two at most)
  • If using Oxiclean, what for any bleeding of the graphics. As you as you see that, take it out and stop.
  • Bleach on white pennants, can't be beat.

That was by far the cheapest of the bunch and it might be my favorite pick up of the year. From a cost/utils of pleasure perspective its off the charts. Would love to find more ACFL, Continental or UFL. There were over 100 minor league teams in the 1960s, but you only see pennants for the same handful of teams...Pottstown Firebirds, Wheeling Ironmen, Eugene Bombers, Philadelphia Bull Dogs and maybe a few others.
