Day 59 (February 28, 2020 – 059)
Gunther Brewing Company was one of the original beer sponsor for the Baltimore Orioles and became the primary sponsor in 1956. Their slogan for the Orioles back in 1954 were – “Get on the Oriole bandwagon with Gunther”. If I’m not mistaken they had two different ads on the scoreboard at the time within Memorial Stadium; one with the beer bottle cap and one with the bottle.
This is a relatively common Orioles poster, but not a lot are in the best of shape and some, when found, have been folded. In 1959 Gunther put out a team poster, around 24”x36”, of the Orioles pictured in front of the scoreboard with the Gunther ad predominantly shown.
