I can’t see even the slightest aberration. I’m like 60/40 in favor of fugazi. It’s an odd pennant to remake and who was doing that in the 1960s?

I know a guy who can make almost any pennant….repro and fantasies. :p 🤫

I picked up this oversized, early one with some of the most beautiful embroidery I have seen on a pennant. Could it be Tigers or not? I believe the interlocking letters spell MICH. It's great either way, but I would love to hear opinions.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4954de08e3.jpg

I doubt it’s Tigers. While the letters M I C and H could well be an abbreviation for Michigan, they could also be rearranged into countless acronyms. Even if they do stand for Michigan, I would guess it’s a city, not team, pennant.

Agree with Rob. I do think the letters spell out "MICH" but it's most likely a City Souvenir Pennant. Nothing at all to indicate it's baseball-related, although the color scheme doesn't rule it out.

Gorgeous and majestic pennant, either way!

Wow, what a beautiful, 4-letter monogram pennant! But, yeah, I agree: this is likely a travel/souvenir pennant.

Some recent pickups. Nothing too crazy, but all nice examples or color variations I did not have.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you for the feedback! It confirms what I thought, but I figured I would ask!

Displaying my favorites from my very modest collection of football pennants. Trench really produced some quality in the 50s and 60s. The fully colorized 49ers is the most attractive pennant I’ve ever seen, in any sport. The “Go Get ‘Em Rams” might be top 5.

What pennant of yours is your favorite, putting value aside, strictly in terms of “eye appeal”?

Love the Packers, and the Texans is great. What's the year on these?
