The first team page on FeltFootball.com to reach 100 pennants belongs to...the New York Giants...thanks to this rarity.
Per the Dec 23, 1966 issue of Time Magazine...
Then there was New York's Allie Sherman. Last week, as he gazed around Yankee Stadium, what to his wondering eyes should appear—blue-and-white pennants, thousands upon thousands of them, all emblazoned "Goodbye Allie." The fans even put the words to music with a roaring choir to the tune of Goodnight, Ladies. This never bothered Sherman; he told reporters that his pro philosophy was "They paid their money, and can do what they want," and joked that he owned the rights to the banners and song and made a fortune in royalties.
