You're right. It's not finished. This incomplete work illustrates how Trench (and others) screen printed their polychromatic pennants.

Here, looks like they used two colors for the underbase: red for the text; and white for the artwork. The next step would be to air brush the secondary colors on using a block-out stencil, which would be overlaid atop the stadium/underbase. This part of the process was lengthy because you had to wait for each color to dry before applying another color.

So this pennant wasn't completed. But someone sold it anyhow. Hope the buyer got a discount....

If I was a Reds collector, I would want that as a rare, albeit ugly, variation.

Thanks for the fix, Mark!
