Had to be 1962 (the Titans and Texans were gone in 1963) which I believe predates the NFL use of a trademark.
Another oddity (probably to only me) is that the Miami Dolphins don't have a single bar helmet pennant with the AFL logo but all other AFL teams do including the Bengals who became a team two years after the Dolphins.
Mark...How could you pass on a beautiful red Texans pennant!  |
Maybe 1961? Bills team website and sportslogos.net shows the above logo for only 1960-61. Of course the logo could have been retired without Trench caring to change.
Another thing I noticed ... the Chiefs AFL pennant has the chief in either white or gold (pennant color).
A red Texans pennant? Wow, never saw one.
I do know the white Packers 1961 picture pennant has the NFL trademark. It lists them as Champs though so maybe it was sold in ‘62.
