Whoa, never ever seen that one. Not in monochrome or Day-Glo/polychrome.
It's definitely modeled on their '59 AL champs pennant for the White Sox, which was also monochrome. They just updated the artwork with a pirate theme.
No clue why it features tassels.
By 1958 or so, WGN was using an outside maker to supply them with pennants: G.B. Feld Co. I strongly suspect this may be why it features tassels. With that said, the other two WGN/Feld pennants I've come across featured a clear "FELD CO. CHI." mark on them; which this Pirate pennant lacks.
Come to think of it ... one of the WGN/Feld pennants I'm referring to had tassels and was monochrome. It's the SMU pennant featured at the very end of my WGN post.
So, most likely this Pirate pennant was made by Feld (for WGN?), and they just omitted their mark from the artwork.
