Nice one. Team picture pennants don’t get the love they deserve. They took extra care to make. I wish I had another wall to dedicate to these.

They are pretty cool and unique.

The “sash” is a nice embellishment, as well.

Agreed. It’s definitely a different kind of pennant.

Domer has a nice interview with a Trench employee who explained how it was a real pain in the butt to assemble the picture pennants. They certainly do require extra care. Along with the mystery of the few teams that don’t have stadium pennants … teams that never had team pic pennants. Colt 45s/Astros and Cubs come to mind. A few others have them for 1-2 years (Senators, Giants?), others run the whole decade. Phillies have at least 13 different ones from 1960-69.

+1

It's a nice Tigers pennant. I've been picking up team photo pennants too. I think they're really underrated and a great snapshot in time.

The Tigers have the best pennants, period. I’ve seen three different colors of 1968 Tigers pic pennants, I think one even states that it is a spring training roster.

Trench obviously mastered the team picture pennant. ASCO has some nice ones, too. The unknown (what I think is) NYC company just stapled the picture right on. The 1963 Mets pennant is an example and lots of Yankees.

This is currently for sale on eBay. Interesting that it’s 1973 and cloth, when cloth has all but gone obsolete. Which raises the question .. has Trench made any team pic pennants on felt? Maybe the Dodgers had one? Seems to me they are all Cloth. I guess maybe the glue holds better I dunno

The Dodgers photo pennants seem to be made from felt.

The Cubs could not have photo pennants because they didn’t take team photos for many years. I think Mr Wrigley was just too cheap to pay a photographer.
