Hey, pennant guys

Yes, you definitely positioned it the right way and I like the pale orange mat, which compliments it very well.

Question...

Did you somehow adhere the Banner to the mat? Or does the pressure from the backing adequately hold the banner against the glass without it slipping.

Thanks!

We assembled the Banner in the frame using only the pressure from the front glass. Didn't want to use any tape or pin of any kind. I realize over time it might slip down in the frame over time and would have to be repositioned.

Definitely the best way to do it..... Great job!

I’ve never seen this variation. Awesome piece

The 1935 “pennant version” of this (currently for sale on eBay at a very high price) is the oldest of which I am aware showing a scroll or list of player names. The 1934 WS Tigers has a starting lineup (which was never used). Does anyone know an older pennant with a partial or full roster?

I have been searching for a vintage Dodgers flag (burgee) and finally found one. It is rather large (over 8’ x 5’), and was supposedly flown during the 1967 season at some point. Kyle’s great blog regarding these burgees does show several other years of Dodgers burgees flying at the Stadium, however I have been unable to locate 1967 home opening day photos or any other ones showing the centerfield flags (or the Dodgers posing with the burgee as they sometimes did before the WS) and was hoping maybe someone on the forum might have one.
The closest I could find was a drawing in an ad on the inside of the back cover of the 1967 yearbook which clearly doesn't qualify as a photomatch .

I did confirm that the tagging is correct for the period as the manufacturer added an eagle to their logo in the late 1960’s. It certainly wasn’t the best World Series for the Dodgers as they were swept by the Orioles, and Koufax subsequently retired at the end of the season, which may account for the lack of interest in hoisting it up.

For those of us old enough to remember, there was actually a time when winning the league pennant was a big deal. Now, if you don’t win the World Series the season is considered a bust.

Awesome piece, Rick! I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the Net54 detectives can find you a photomatch…..that’s how I was able to pinpoint a bunting I just posted in the “large items” thread to the first game ever at Candlestick.

Rob, great idea, I will cross post over in that thread. Can't hurt to have more eyes trying to hunt it down. Your banners are amazing. Is that acrylic you have over the large ones?

Yes, plexi/acrylic, whatever you want to call it. In our old house, the Wrigley flag was on the ceiling.

I hope no one here bought this. Fugazi

The real ones were cloth, not felt, and the graphics are a bit off. The screen has a rubberized look to it. Also the spine is sewn shut on both ends, you can’t slide a dowel in. Whoever tried to fake these did a decent job but left enough clues to identify it as a copy.

Vintage version … subtle differences in scroll and printing near 1955

Haven't found much worth buying lately so my itchy trigger finger got the best of me and I impulsively bought this beast. About 5 feet long. Has some age to it...and it was cheap. Figured I'd at least add it to my "Why the F did I buy this pile".

But imagine my surprise and excitment when I was able to photo match the banner to the Juice's record breaking 1968 Heisman Trophy winning season!

Yes...It's great to be a Trojan...But sometimes it's just better to be lucky.
