These are the only two Tiger banners I own. I was watching the 34 banner and doing some research. Best I can tell is it was sold by the old Hudson store which use to be downtown Detroit on Woodward Ave. Hudson's was a big supporter of the Tigers and would always hang banners on their building during the season and WS. There is a version of the 68 banner I have that's white that was sold by Hudson's after the Tigers won the WS.

Did someone buy that 1934 banner????? That thing is 60 feet tall!!!!

That raises a question … what if that 1934 banner on the side of the building survived. Maybe it did. What would it fetch in auction? So big you literally can’t do anything with it …

Those are awesome, Stephen! Love the ‘35 especially.

Stephen said he was “watching it.” That made me think it was in an auction. :confused:

edit: I guess he meant your banner.

On the topic of "Banners & where are they now"......

This banner hung in the Tigers hallway from the locker room to the field during the 84-championship season. There were rumors that the banner survived and was discovered when Tiger stadium was torn down but, I've never seen evidence of it.

That looks more like a giant sticker…kinda like the thing in tatters below it.

This will have to do for now, next to the hot water heater. Probably better in a frame.

Amazing!

Dodger "war towel" banners by Superior Hand Blocked Textile Co.
 

In the 1960s the Dodgers sold a series of banners branded as "war towels." These were sold at the stadium and available for purchase via the team's mail-order catalog for $1 each.

I always thought these banners were screen printed. They were not. Most likely they were manufactured by a company called Superior Hand Blocked Textile Co. As their name suggests, they printed these banners on 100% woven cotton twill using the hand block printing method. Hand block printing involves carving a design onto a block and stamping it onto the fabric.

Superior made others similar novelty items for the Dodgers; and, most likely, other teams. I believe they also manufactured a popular item known as the "crying towel" which featured crying mascots representing all of the AL and NL teams.
