ChiPenCo (Chicago Pennant Co) college pennants are the best. Finally found one from my Alma Mater (1950's??)

Just a thought on the Chicago pennant.

With both sports being seasonal, and Chicago also being a tourist destination even then, is it possible the pennant company sold not only pennants specific to a team or location that would be sold at or near the venue, but also sold a somewhat generic pennant that could be sold in locations that catered to tourists or a more transient fan base during both seasons and as a simple Chicago souvenir?

I can see a vendor who sold at both stadiums being interested in items that could be both Cubs and Bears, and at other times sold as generic Chicago pennant -Parades, major civic events etc.
The same for a store near a venue or downtown but not close enough for the specific ones to make sense.

Good thought...

But the Chicago Bears didn't exist until 1922.

This pennant possesses all of the features (size, graphics, material) of an early teens pennant. I have looked at thousands of pennants, and have never seen one example of an oversized Professional Football Team Pennant with screened/painted graphics.

Can anyone here present an example of an oversized Professional Football Pennant?

In regards to oversize Cubs pennant.

Kind of looks like a Langrock Bros pennant. I have only seem University pennants made by this company. But that doesn't mean they didn't do others! Here are a few examples. I don't think Chicago University ever had a bear mascot so I would vote Cubs!

Does anyone know the story behind the orange and black cubs pennants?

I recently obtained my ninth premium. There are ten known, leaving only the Cobb to complete the set. I am aware of two Cobbs; one posted on the forum several years ago which is shown below. The second sold in the Halper auction. I am not hopeful of ever obtaining a Cobb but am excited to get my ninth.

Fabulous job of preserving history! I hope you can find your Cobb.

Really impressive. Congrats! Would love to see you get the Cobb.

A few recent ones.

Wow- those are all amazing and SO rare. I especially love the '39 World Series Pennant from Lelands. You never see that one, and the graphics are off the charts.

Congrats on that incredible haul :D
