Great pennants! I have the top one, neat to see it dated by the ticket. And yeah, why is he wearing just shorts and socks?

These might be early Ad Flags though I wouldn't wager it. Pennants like the top one have in common: felt (not cloth), single stitching at wide end, thick strip, and the tassels are thin and made of the same felt. Usually just one color print but some have multi color graphic that looks almost spray painted like my sex offender Dodger pennant. The STL "angry brownie" pennant is of this mold.

Well, I guess that after 843 posts and 105,000 views, this has morphed into an "Ugly Pennant Thread"...

That Giants Pennant is pretty horrendous, and looks like it was drawn by a semi-talented 3rd grader. His chest looks like it's made of ocean water, and why are there Xs on his socks?

Here's another example of an artist that may have failed to make the cut with AdFlag. This is my nomination for worst vintage pennant/dumbest logo (but still better than the modern junk made today...)

Yes that is an awful logo. What hitter looks like that in his follow thru? (Of course the bigger question is what hitter has the letter A as his torso.) They replaced the cool elephant logo on the KC stadium pennants with this.

Now time for the ugliest of the uglies, pretty sure this one is a very early AdFlag ....

I will go ahead now and post my favorite Phillies pennant, and one of my favorites in general ... this design was used on a yearbook one season, it is one of two Phillies Keezer pennants and just has a great 50s look to it.

Thought I would join in on weird / ugly pennant -rama. It's a mini, but still pretty cool. Would love to find a full size version...
