Hey, pennant guys

[ooo-ribay]

The pennant came out great with the exception of the border

At the risk of being expelled from this group, I have two spine suggestions:

Blue sharpie (I’ve done this) or blue RIT dye, dabbed from a Q-tip.

HAhaahaha, great minds think alike. I was considering the RIT dye method. I figured the blue sharpie would bleed maybe too much. And maybe I could better control the dye.

Too funny! A most excellent answer Dr. ooo-ribay. After all, this one is not ever gonna get sold now that I have it in my clutches, ain't going anywhere!

Cheers,

B.T.

With apologies to the greater group.

Speaking of a ‘24 Senators pennant …

Thanks, at least I know what one looks like. Owning one will be a different story though.

Awesome pennant for sure.

Cheers,

Just arrived. Hard to find in black. Oooribay calls these cartoon font pennants.

I like how you photograph your pennants. Do you use a black background or do you somehow photoshop it?

I've been photographing them on my ping pong table. For some reason, the pictures come out better when the lights are off in the room (with no flash). My iphone takes decent pictures in darkish environments. I used to use a lighter background, but I've been liking the darker one lately. I think it makes the colors stand out more.

Nice pennant Marc...

I like your version (without the MLB Logo). The felt looks rather stiff... Is it the polyester stiff stuff or real felt? The orange version typically has the MLB Logo and is made of stiff felt (which could substitute as the blade of a guillotine).

Seems like yours was manufactured at a time that it could go either way.

This one I posted earlier is stiffer felt, but not the crazy stiff felt like the one with the MLB logo (posted below). There are several versions of this pennant. These all have the completed Candlestick. I know Oooribay has both the orange and black versions with the Candlestick outfield still open. I assume that those are on soft felt or cloth. I'm still looking for those.
