Yes, you definitely positioned it the right way and I like the pale orange mat, which compliments it very well.

Question...

Did you somehow adhere the Banner to the mat? Or does the pressure from the backing adequately hold the banner against the glass without it slipping.

Thanks!

We assembled the Banner in the frame using only the pressure from the front glass. Didn't want to use any tape or pin of any kind. I realize over time it might slip down in the frame over time and would have to be repositioned.

Definitely the best way to do it..... Great job!

The 1935 �pennant version� of this (currently for sale on eBay at a very high price) is the oldest of which I am aware showing a scroll or list of player names. The 1934 WS Tigers has a starting lineup (which was never used). Does anyone know an older pennant with a partial or full roster?

I have been searching for a vintage Dodgers flag (burgee) and finally found one. It is rather large (over 8� x 5�), and was supposedly flown during the 1967 season at some point. Kyle�s great blog regarding these burgees does show several other years of Dodgers burgees flying at the Stadium, however I have been unable to locate 1967 home opening day photos or any other ones showing the centerfield flags (or the Dodgers posing with the burgee as they sometimes did before the WS) and was hoping maybe someone on the forum might have one.
The closest I could find was a drawing in an ad on the inside of the back cover of the 1967 yearbook which clearly doesn't qualify as a photomatch :).

I did confirm that the tagging is correct for the period as the manufacturer added an eagle to their logo in the late 1960�s. It certainly wasn�t the best World Series for the Dodgers as they were swept by the Orioles, and Koufax subsequently retired at the end of the season, which may account for the lack of interest in hoisting it up.

For those of us old enough to remember, there was actually a time when winning the league pennant was a big deal. Now, if you don�t win the World Series the season is considered a bust.

Awesome piece, Rick! I wouldn�t be surprised if one of the Net54 detectives can find you a photomatch�..that�s how I was able to pinpoint a bunting I just posted in the �large items� thread to the first game ever at Candlestick.

Rob, great idea, I will cross post over in that thread. Can't hurt to have more eyes trying to hunt it down. Your banners are amazing. Is that acrylic you have over the large ones?
