Hey, pennant guys

[bocca001]

Once I set up an area to take pictures, I decided to take some pictures. So, here are:

SF Giants:

Great stuff, Marc! Interesting that the Niners basically used two colors, while the Giants are all over the color spectrum.

Finished inventory of a few more teams, came across this ... didn’t we earlier discuss Cubs and Giants pennants with the same cookie-cutter ballpark graphic?

This has to be a knock-off company ... the graphics/style are similar to Trench of the time period ... and maybe copying the stadium graphic would be too close to copyright infringement. Who knows ...

Here is the Giants with the same stadium. Kyle suggested that it may be Busch stadium.

In addition to grouping pics by teams my eventual goal is to group by style/maker, with the help of Mr. Domer’s excellent research. Stadium pennants, scroll pennants, etc. I think even a collaboration could be in order? Book?

Anyway, here’s what I have in Keezer pennants. I suspect that I have a couple others .... eventually I’ll post them and see what y’all think. Keezers have a fairly distinct style (double stitched, mostly heavy felt but some cloth, thick tassels, one color print), many are stamped on the back but not all

I don’t see any photos.

If I already had 100 Giants pictures, how long would it take to make a Google album?

UGH I will fix it … okay now it's fixed. I have some difficulty going from phone to laptop, for some reason …

There are a few teams I am missing, and of course many teams have multiple versions. Not really anxious to "complete the set" although I'd like to find the Browns. I have a mini Keezer Browns but not fullsize.

Rob ... really easy. All you need is a gmail account. Probably 5-10 minutes to add the pics

Is my first picture not a Keezer? It's not stamped but I thought someone had attributed it to Keezer. The second is Marc's "seen one and only once" pennant. Gotta be a Keezer.

Both are definitely Keezer. The second one is from their latest series.

Interesting theory. That makes sense, actually. Whether they were trying to avoid a lawsuit, or just being lazy, it's clear whoever made this series phoned in the artwork.

Frankly, how they could label that stadium as "Wrigley Field" of all places is a crime against humanity.

The text on this Mets pennant resembles the text layout that ASCO used in the 1970s. Is the spine exactly 1" wide on these, I wonder? If so, it likely is by ASCO ... in which case, nobody should be surprised that they phoned in a pennant design
