Mike:Those framing jobs are exquisite.... never get tired of seeing those!
Scott:Aaron Bros. sells a 12 X 36" black frame that would match your others to a tee. You just pop off the backing and put your pennant in against the glass (clean the glass first). The only other thing you'll need to buy is a mat board. A subtle grey would work well as a backdrop to your burgundy Harvard pennant.
Just pick a nice complimentary color, and have Aaron Bros. cut a piece of mat board 12 X 36. Apply the mat to the back of the pennant. Then apply the backing provided with the frame. There will be flexible "points" on the back of the frame, that will secure the backing.
It is very easy, looks terrific, and is the cheapest way to go.
If you would rather tailor the frame to an exact size (other than 12 X 36") then you can use Sectional frames that you put together yourself. Aaron Bros. sells these Sectionals as well, and Steve B. has provided a great tutorial video in the "Framing Panoramas" thread (running concurrently with this one). These sectionals are available in either black metal or wood material. But if I were you, I would just use the pre-made 12 X 36" frame that Aaron Bros. sells.
A last comment and I'll shut up.... They usually have an on-line "50% off" coupon that you can print + bring to the store. This resides on their website almost permanently, and will save you even more money.
Hope this helps,
Mark
