Mark: great Ebbets pennant, I saw it on eBay. Surely one that isn't one of their typical uglies. That's the only AdFlag I've seen depicting a ballpark. They must have been making them for a long time, they have made A's and Browns, and have soft felt. And a few of them like your Pirates are in color. But they kept the same designs for many years, I have that same Pirates in gold and it is stiff like a 70s pennant. The Phillies Quaker pennant also comes in light blue stuff felt.
Here's another AdFlag Brooklyn version. |

These might be early Ad Flags though I wouldn't wager it. Pennants like the top one have in common: felt (not cloth), single stitching at wide end, thick strip, and the tassels are thin and made of the same felt. Usually just one color print but some have multi color graphic that looks almost spray painted like my sex offender Dodger pennant. The STL "angry brownie" pennant is of this mold. |

Well, I guess that after 843 posts and 105,000 views, this has morphed into an "Ugly Pennant Thread"...
That Giants Pennant is pretty horrendous, and looks like it was drawn by a semi-talented 3rd grader. His chest looks like it's made of ocean water, and why are there Xs on his socks? Here's another example of an artist that may have failed to make the cut with AdFlag. This is my nomination for worst vintage pennant/dumbest logo (but still better than the modern junk made today...) |

Now time for the ugliest of the uglies, pretty sure this one is a very early AdFlag .... |

I will go ahead now and post my favorite Phillies pennant, and one of my favorites in general ... this design was used on a yearbook one season, it is one of two Phillies Keezer pennants and just has a great 50s look to it.

Thought I would join in on weird / ugly pennant -rama. It's a mini, but still pretty cool. Would love to find a full size version...

Beautiful pennants, guys! Many times I have thought about buying a few baseball/football pennants from 50s and 60s. I really like the colors and logos! I remember being at the 2015 National and feeling blown away by some I saw for sale. Space to display or lack thereof has stopped me thus far. Do you all display all of yours or store them in some way?

Can I get an Amen on this addition to the Ugly Pennant parade?
What was the maker thinking? What fan would have bought this? http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/a...pso6norl1x.jpg |
GREAT submission. That Yankees Pennant will be tough to beat.
I agree.... What fan would buy it? Especially with all the other beautiful Yankee Pennants around at the time :confused: |
