Great pennant Rob! 3/4 size... right? Extremely rare...
Were the goalposts ever really like that? You see that depiction A LOT in period artwork, program covers, and even on many of the early '50s Bowman Cards. It's very consistent, but I'm guessing they took some "artistic license" in portraying them. Hard to imagine why the crossbar would ever be placed that high up. Must've been lots tougher to tell if the kick was good or bad back then. I bet they blew quite a few calls. OK, enough musing.... Back to pennants! |

In the 1940s (this pennant is from 1946 or so) they didn't look like that. Here's a screenshot from a Rams/Eagles game in 1945. Relatively modern looking.
![]() In the 1920s though they do kind of resemble the ones in the pennant.

Thanks Rob-
Great photos! I guess it was in the early 1960s that they adapted to the taller and narrower goalposts. But I love that antiquated style! |
