Hey, pennant guys

That Giants Pennant is circa 1951. The Patches are probably 7-8 years more recent.

Like so many of these logos, it looks like the Giant Mascot lost some of his fine detail through the years. Cool stuff!

The company is WGN, which can be deduced from Kyle’s great research. And Mark is spot on with the date, due to the Cubs pennant from this very limited series. A couple of notes which I believe I touched on a long while ago. First, the logos from this series can be found on the back cover of “Inside Baseball for Little Leaguers”, with copyright 1956. Interesting to see all the pennant logos except a couple ... notably the Reds mad bomber was replaced by the mustached guy that Keezer used.

Secondly, as a side note, for four years I owned and managed a team in a summer collegiate league, with nickname Giants. So where did I get the idea for my logo?

Love that...

We've seen the "olde time" mustached Reds guy on a pennant, but has anyone seen that particular Phillies mascot? I have not, and gotta believe it simply doesn't exist. WGN used the Blue Jay for the 1951 pennant, but by 1956 that logo was history. Would love to see that Batting Quaker version surface!

Nope I’ve never seen it either.

Did you trade mark your adaptation of this maker's logo, too?

If so ... that's smart because I'll bet you that manufacturer, if it was WGN, did not do so.

Yep, sure did.
