Hey, pennant guys

[thetahat]

These came today. The picture pennant is my 13th variation from 1960-69, 1960 and 1968 have two different pics and 1961 same pic but different design. This pic is cool because it was taken inside Connie Mack Stadium.

The Mets pennant was in too nice condition to pass up, the one I had was a little faded. One of my favorite Trench stadium pennants and it has a different look than the others. The font of SHEA STADIUM is unique, the field is blue, and Mr. Met is trademarked. The artwork itself just … looks different than other stadium pennants. Also this was strangely made without tassels.

Nice, Greg.

You are always telling us about your favorites. What's your least favorite/most strange/funky stadium pennant?

Whew! Good to see some new content in the pennant thread!

I may get a new one in tonight’s ISTP auction. Fingers crossed. 🤞

Nope. One other guy in the whole world wanted it too.

This was the one. Any thoughts as to who might have made it? Is this design seen for other teams?

The other guy was not me this time : )

Bocca felt bad about snaking me on the red NYG pennant so he just alerted me the one I didn't get last night was on Etsy today. This time I got it. Thanks, bocca...you're forgiven.

I'm pretty sure this one was made by the mystery maker we've been tracking that also made the "sliding runner" series; and, the stiff-arming "Heisman" series. All were monochrome, tassel-less, full-size, and made in the late 1940s or early 1950s.

Sorry you didn't get it. I can assure you it wasn't me

Great question Marc, in fact I’d love to know how you and others answer this. I think the later Dodger Stadium pennants are kinda lame once they ditched the bum. Love the LA Angels version though with Chavez Ravine. I’m hard pressed to say that any of them are unsightly. More generally I don’t collect Ad Flags or late era WGN. Just a matter of taste, I collect mostly to display because I love the aesthetics and those pennants just don’t do it for me. But here’s an old Ad Flag that I’ve shown before that I do display, as ugly as it is, because it is pretty rare. At some point I need to set it loose. If I had this as a kid it would cause me nightmares.

I'll go for the Giants batter sinking into the ground in Busch Stadium pennant.

That’s a classic! Like this Mets pennant here …

I should add I do display these two Ad Flag Colt 45s ..
